The Ultraviolet from Rossignol is a softer flexing true twin that can inspire confidence in any rider. Easy enough to turn at slower speeds but built with enough camber to give you decent stability and edge hold when you need it. This board gives you plenty of versatility in variable snow conditions providing good float in deep snow and the ability plow through the cruddier conditions.

Why we like it:

The soft and playful flex on the Ultraviolet makes it easy to initiate turns at slower speeds and provides plenty maneuverability when riding off trail through trees and moguls. The shape profile provides this board with good gloat in deep snow without sacrificing stability and edge hold.

Who it's for:

The Ultraviolet is ideal for beginner to intermediate level riders who are looking for a fun and forgiving board that they don't have to work too hard to control. A great option if you are looking to progress in the park or are looking for a fun and surfy feel.

Highlights:

The 30/70 Amptek profile on the Ultraviolet has 30% camber between the inserts and 70% rocker in the tip and tail provided a good combination of easy turn initiation and maneuverability with stability and edge hold when you need it. The softer flex makes this board approachable for most riders and the twin shape makes it easy to ride and land switch.

Things to consider:

The softer flex and minimal camber on the Ultraviolet can lack stability for heavier more aggressive riders. If you are looking for a powder specific board, there are better options as the twin shape and lack of taper can take away from floatation in deep snow conditions.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Ultraviolet does run true to size but can be sized up for more stability at speed.
