Arbor Snowboards has been building snowboards, bindings, and splitboard gear since 1995, grounded in sustainable materials and hands-on craftsmanship. Empire carries the full Arbor lineup as an authorized Canadian retailer, available in-store across Quebec and online at thinkempire.com.
A construction philosophy built around real commitments.
Arbor was among the first brands to replace the standard plastic topsheet with responsibly sourced wood veneer, a move that improved performance and cut environmental impact at the same time. From there, the brand pioneered the use of bamboo, bio-plastic, and a range of recycled and reclaimed materials across its product line. This isn't a brand story layered on after the fact: it's been the foundation of every snowboard, binding, and splitboard Arbor has produced over three decades.
Arbor's position is that sustainability and performance are not competing priorities. The boards are handcrafted with a level of care that shows up in how they ride, and the materials behind that construction are chosen with the same intentionality. For riders who want a board that performs on the mountain without compromising what makes the mountain worth riding, Arbor is a direct answer to that.
Snowboards, bindings, splitboards, and splitboard skins.
The Arbor range at Empire covers snowboards across different riding styles, bindings engineered to pair with Arbor's board construction, and a complete splitboard offering including both boards and skins. Whether you're riding resort or heading into the backcountry, Arbor builds equipment that handles both contexts with the same manufacturing standards throughout.
Arbor has also maintained a long-standing relationship with the athletes and artists who share this approach, a collective model that shapes the brand's direction as much as its product development. That influence comes through in the graphics and collaborations that tie Arbor to snowboard culture without overstating its position in it.
