The 2026 Rossignol Ampage Vol.1 is a modern all mountain freestyle snowboard built for riders who split their time between natural terrain and the park. It blends a playful, pop driven personality with enough backbone to stay composed when speeds pick up. This is the board in the line that feels energetic underfoot but still capable when the mountain opens up, and is perfect for riders who want one deck that can butter, spin, and carve without feeling locked into a single style.

Why we like it:

We like the Ampage Vol.1 because it walks the line between loose and precise in a way that makes the whole mountain feel like a park lap. It feels light and quick edge to edge, yet it holds its line when you roll it over and commit to a carve.

Who it's for:

This board is for riders who approach the mountain with a freestyle mindset but still want to carve clean arcs and explore beyond the park. It suits intermediate riders progressing into spins and butters, as well as advanced riders who want a versatile daily driver. Those who value pop, maneuverability, and a balanced feel between stability and playfulness will feel at home here.

Highlights:

A lively wood core gives the Ampage Vol.1 its energetic feel, storing and releasing power through ollies and turn transitions so the board never feels flat underfoot. Carbon reinforcement adds snap and keeps the overall weight down, which translates to quicker spins and less fatigue on long laps. The twin shape keeps the ride balanced in either direction, making switch takeoffs and landings feel natural rather than forced. A moderate flex helps to smooth out variable snow enough to stay composed when the afternoon chop rolls in. Rocker in the profile adds forgiveness and float, while camber underfoot maintains edge engagement so the board still bites when you tip it over on firm snow.

Things to consider:

The Ampage Vol.1 favors a freestyle driven approach, so riders who prioritize straight line stability at very high speeds may want something stiffer and more directional. Its lighter, more playful construction can feel less damp than a full freeride board when conditions get rough. It performs well across the mountain, but it is most at home when the rider is actively engaging the terrain rather than simply cruising.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Ampage Vol.1 rides true to size with a balanced feel that does not feel overly long or short. Riders who prioritize park laps and tighter terrain may size slightly down for quicker spins and easier presses. Those who want more stability for faster all mountain riding can stay at their typical length for added composure.
