This season, the powerful and growing Norwegian snowboard brand Bataleon, surprises us with a small but incredible range of boards All mountain / Freeride.
Leaving aside the technical breakthroughs of the boards (as the Triple Base Technology, which will be discussed later in this blog), the elegant Nordic aesthetic is 100% perfect.
Powerful and clear graphics for the most elegant riders.
BATALEON ENEMY +++
Enemy is the lightest in its class, created for All Mountain / Freestyle. A machine for “kickers” in “backcountry” and for riping nonstop.
The graphics leave quite clear what this board is about; light and dynamic.
BATALEON UNDISPUTED
Undisputed is an incredible freeride machine, a magic carpet for powder snow, which will also respond in the most complicated crust and ice slopes.
The aesthetics of its labyrinthine graphics leaves no one indifferent. Less is more.
BATALEON OMI
Omni is Powdertrends favorite, the most All Mountain of the collection offers an amazing versatility, from freestyle to freeride without complaints.
The graphics have left us speechless, geometric designs calculated at millimeter with a combination of fascinating colors.
LClean and attractive, omni is the queen of style in Batalleon All Mountain collection.
Soon we will have more of Bataleon.
This year the deep purple strikes again!
We’ve been flipping through the latest purple jackets this season, and this has been what we´ve liked most.
Orage Baldwin
The first one is Phil Casabon´s personal choice, only for park-rats.
Saga anomie jacket
The second is the well-known brand underground Saga, where you do not need to go and buy the 3xl to go baggy because they make extra large sizes and cuts.
Check out the saga blog and scroll until you find the perfect pant/jacket combo!
Tim Durtschi wearing the Saga drank
The third one is for girls, it has a curious silk-screened, in addition to all the details salomon jackets carry. Including a pocket for mobile, for googles.etc
With a brighter tone we have the Special Blend Signature, the most searched by snowboarders
Spy Soldier, Vanular Signature.
The “Bling ,Bling” Pro model by corey Vanular, so legit.
Von Zipper Feenom Love In
Bright blues, yellow, lines, color blend.
Von Zipper Sizzle Yipes White
With pink earflaps…cool!
Dragon Rogue -i Skull Candy.
The new romance between Dragon and Skull candy rules the park this year.
Dragon DX-i Jamie Lynn Signature 09
Street art grafics match perfectly with yellow and blue outfits

We like the bright colors contrasting with the white landscape, that is clear.
We have compiled the most flashy of this season!
686 Momentum Lime
Armada Cosmo Pipe Lime
Armada Inverse Magenta
DC Mizu
PD. We promise gloves that are more discreet in the coming days.
Some say all poles are the same, but as time goes by more specific and custom poles are reaching the market.
Here we go with a little selection:
A small pole focused in park, as they say in their website: “Shorter than your dad’s poles, but still longer than your tall tee, it’s the lightest stick with the skinniest grip in the world!” From now there’s no need to cut out the poles to hit the rails; Pins comes in super short sizes (91, 96, 101, 106 cm). Made in ultralight aluminum and almost undestructible.
Scott comes punishing this year with Punisher which has some very elaborated vampire graphics and a vintage touch with leather en the strap. Made in aluminiun and comes with ergonomic grip.
Armada strikes againg with their inovative pole system, where the grip and the basket are interchangeable and can be bought separately. We like the “neo constructivist” inspiration graphics and the powerfull colours.
It looks like the guys designing this poles were thinking about…. Alaska. The ultimate Big mountain weapon from the french brand comes with a powder focused basket and a “racing” like grip for a perfect control in every line.
Thinking in the kids who rock, Rossignol made a perfect pro pole. Made in ultralight aluminium is perfect for the first steeps at the park. We love the graphics in line with the Seven Artistic Sins.
Hope you can find your perfect pole!

Armada comes this year to conquer the textile sector with a new line of clothing that will take your breath.
A complete collection ranging from Eighties-inspired jackets that will leave no one indifferent as the Galactic Spectrum and others with a simpler design but with strong colors which will be seen from anywhere in the ski resort.
Armada Galactic
Armada Inverse
The website also offers you a “build your kit” to match pants with jackets, very useful to see what your outfit this season will be!
We’ve been flipping through the latest goggles-masks this season, and this has been what we´ve liked most.
Electric EG2 Process
Electric EG5 B4BC, for daring chicks.
Anon Solace Fusion, with a strong eighties touch.
Anon Hawkeye Corked Out more discrete, with a curious cork effect.
Spy Targa Mini Blue Voltage. For the eyes of the most imprudent little ones.

We will start with the Melita Beanie, a classic from the brand Nikita, you know girls: “For girls who ride”
The gray colors mixed with bright blue, ideal to combine with striking blue glasses!
Simple but cool, there are times that two words are worth the same as an image, no? This white beanie blends perfectly with other pieces of white equipment, and the colors of the strip are very meticulous. Unisex
Roxy Bounce Hat
“From Roxy With Love”. In a siberian steppe style which we have already seen in ski resorts, this hat lined with faux fur will not leave you cold. We love it.
We like this orage, as well as its fine lines and seemingly haphazard.
Sorry, this entry is only available in Español.

Two of them come with full name, the pro models of Tanner Hall and Eric Pollard
Then we will see the most gangsta pack this season, junior helmets and some for girls.
Bern Baker Eric Pollard Pro-Model
The Bern Baker needs no introduction because it is one of the most popular models of the brand.
The “Hard Hat” with a baseball style comes this year with Eric Pollard´s design mimicking the contours of a mountain or perhaps the next line of pillows that he will slay.
POC Receptor Bug series Tanner Hall edition
T-Hall trusts Poc again for his pro model this year, with a design inspired in the Jamaican culture with the lion of Judah and the Rastafarian colors. It is the ideal helmet for skiing by Retallack listening to Cali-p or for kicking a few rounds of pipe. Jah love!
The Skull Candy Revolver Pack
Giro + Skull Candy is a partnership that cannot go unnoticed.
The Skull Candy Revolver pack comes with the Giro helmet, a bandana and Skull Candy headphones
Pharaonic graphics in gold with black background give that style “bling bling” so gangsta. With the Skull Candy you would go mad listening to remixes of Biggie Smalls while climbing the park’s perch.
Pro Tec Classic Snow Junior
For the younger ones this Tec Pro model comes fresh from the streets of California. This classic skater style helmet can be used in both winter and summer.
Great for parents, which will no have to worry about the first drops of future freeskiers.
Sweet Rambler Baked
Sweet Protection features this year the rambler baked, a helmet with a hardhat style for girls, drawing a line where the strong colors mark the style.
A helmet that rocks for girls that rock.
