Borealis Artefact 2027 | The Award-Winning All-Mountain Freeride Legend
The Borealis Artefact 2027 stands as our most acclaimed, award-winning snowboard, perfected for riders who demand all-mountain freeride excellence. As a long-standing best-seller in our lineup, the Artefact is a high-performance weapon engineered for aggressive carving, high-speed stability, and effortless precision on ungroomed terrain. Whether you are charging icy pistes or hunting fresh lines in the backcountry, this board delivers a balanced, responsive ride that has made it an industry icon.
Precision Carving & Edge Synergy
From the first turn on the piste, the Artefact feels immediately intuitive. Featuring our exclusive Edge Synergy technology, the specially-designed sidecut and optimized contact points work in harmony to provide rock-solid stability. This setup ensures a consistent, engaged edge hold across varying snow conditions, allowing you to carve with total confidence even at maximum velocity. To elevate the ride further, our integrated Liquid Sidewalls aggressively dampen vibrations and chatter, making your carving experience incredibly smooth, fluid, and effortless, no matter how hard the pack.
Surfy Float & Powder Performance
In deep powder, the Artefact truly excels. Its tapered directional shape, combined with a buoyant, extended tip and a Directional Camrock profile, ensures exceptional float. This geometry allows for a more centered stance, reducing rear-leg fatigue and providing a smooth, "surfy" feel in deep snow. The Camrock profile naturally lifts the nose, keeping you on top of the pack without effort.
Explosive Core & Ultralight Construction
Under the hood, the 2027 Artefact features our UL Forest Core—lightweight yet incredibly strong. Reinforced with Triax Fiberglass and Carbon Power Strips, the board offers superior torsional stiffness and an explosive, responsive pop. This premium construction provides the power needed for technical freeride lines while maintaining the dampening required for high-speed charging.
Versatility Without Compromise
While its heart belongs to the backcountry, the Artefact is surprisingly versatile. Its forgiving nature allows for comfortable switch riding and provides a stable platform for hitting sidehits or park features.
