The Salomon HPS Louif Paradis is a directional all-mountain snowboard designed for expert riders who refuse to choose between deep powder days and creative line-hunting. Built in direct collaboration with pro rider Louif Paradis, it bridges freestyle instincts and freeride performance into a single, purposeful shape.
The board runs a tapered directional shape paired with Rock Out Camber — a profile that keeps a playful, freestyle feel underfoot while delivering reliable float when the terrain opens up. Flex sits at a medium rating, balancing response with forgiveness across variable snow. Construction centers on the ABC Wrapper, a patented wood veneer process that cuts fiberglass and resin content by 40% while boosting pop, reinforced by the Popster core milling and a Ghost Green Core for a lively, snappy feel. The Quadralizer sidecut and All-Mountain edge bevel tuning (1° nose/tail, 2° between the feet) round out a setup that's ready for whatever the mountain throws at it.
This board is built for the expert rider who moves fluidly between backcountry terrain and urban-style features — think Louif's own riding vocabulary. If you want a single quiver board that floats in pow, presses on features, and holds an edge on firm snow, the HPS Louif Paradis delivers that range without compromise. It rewards precise, creative riding rather than brute-force approaches.
