Bataleon Thunderstorm Snowboard

The 3BT shaping lifts the edges at the contact points, which makes turn initiation feel smoother and less catchy. It gives you the stability of a cambered board underfoot while reducing the likelihood of catching an edge, especially when you're transitioning between turns or riding in variable snow.

With a 6/10 flex rating and carbon stringers, it provides a solid, responsive platform for carving. It’s stiff enough to hold an edge reliably at speed, but it retains enough playfulness that you won't feel like you're fighting the board to make tighter turns.

It’s designed specifically to handle powder well thanks to the high nose uplift and the directional shape. The Sidekick technology helps the board plane easily on top of deep snow, so you don't have to lean back excessively to keep your nose afloat.

Because it is a high-grade sintered base, it is porous and absorbs wax effectively. To keep it fast and durable, you should plan on hot-waxing it regularly, especially if you ride in dry or abrasive snow conditions.

While the 6/10 flex is approachable, this board is really built for intermediate to advanced riders who want to explore the whole mountain. A beginner might find the responsiveness and the 3BT base profile a bit demanding compared to a softer, more forgiving beginner-specific deck.

The SuperTubes are hollow carbon cylinders inserted into the core. They add significant pop and snap to the board without adding the weight of traditional stiffening materials, giving you a lively feel when popping off side hits or launching jumps.
