Considering the Dancehaul is just 3 seasons old, it’s pretty astounding that it’s achieved iconic status in such a short time. As the go-to board for anyone who wants a piste and powder focussed board that puts having fun at the top of its agenda, the Dancehaul is the perfect daily driver for anyone who loves to carve around the resort and get into the deep stuff on a powder day. Built around a fully directional tapered shape with a broader riding platform, the Dancehaul is perfectly matched with a predictable radial sidecut and versatile Rock-Out Camber to deliver stunning performance. That broader riding platform ensures that when you c get this board hard on its edge, you can lay out those long carves without worrying about toe and heel drag. That extra width also steps up the volume, which in conjunction with that long nose and cut-out tail gives effortless float. However, the Dancehaul’s construction is what elevates it above most boards in this category. Utilising Salomon’s basalt reinforced Ghost construction, it delivers a responsive and dynamic ride, but thankfully not at the expense of having fun. By rewinding the aggression a couple of notches, Salomon has created a high-performance board that’s also one of the most fun to ride boards that you can strap into.

Rider Style: Freeriders

Intermediate to advanced riders looking for a piste and powder board that combines stunning performance with a more playful and rider-friendly feeling.

Shape Overview:

The Dancehaul is built around an advanced wide-body, fully directional tapered shape designed to deliver exceptional performance on the piste and in the pow. Its advanced diamond-tipped nose is designed to deliver all the characteristics of a traditional long powder nose without compromising the balance of the board. It produces effortless lift and float in deep snow but with a more stable and controllable ride on the piste. The wider main body ramps up the board’s overall surface volume, adding float without compromising agility. It also reduces the likelihood of toe and heel drag when carving hard. Salomon utilises a classic radial sidecut to ensure the Dancehaul delivers a predictable and stable ride on edge. Formed from a single circle, it delivers a consistent and predictable ride.

Profile: RockOut Camber

To ensure that the Dancehaul delivers excellent performance across all types of riding and terrain, Salomon utilises their state-of-the-art Rock Out Camber. This complex profile combines rocker zones at the contact points with a camber under the feet and a flat section between the bindings. This unique profile delivers a versatile ride, ensuring that no matter what or where you ride, you know that this board never feels wanting.

Construction:

As with all Salomon boards, the Dancehaul is a tour de force of snowboard technology. Heading up its high-end construction is the Aspen Select Popster core. This advanced wood core uses hand-selected Aspen, specially profiled along the length, to ensure that the flex is perfectly aligned with where you need that power and pop to deliver the optimum flex characteristics. To this, Salomon then adds their unique Ghost Basalt stringers structural layers. This combination of medium-density bi-ax glass reinforced with two Basalt stringers running tip to tail delivers the perfect balance of surfy feel with a responsive and dynamic drive.

Base: Sintered

To ensure that the Dancehaul can take advantage of its high-performance construction, Salomon fit it with a high grade sintered base. Finished with a fine stone grind, it delivers excellent glide across a wide range of temperatures and snow conditions.
