Looking for a true one-board quiver that can park lap, carves groomers and floats pow? Meet the Salomon Assassin a versatile all-mountain freestyle deck designed for intermediate to advanced riders.

Built as a fusion of Salomon's best powder and freestyle DNA, the Assassin offers a directional twin shape with a slightly longer nose and tail for added float in deeper snow, while still promoting switch-friendly riding.

The Assassin features Salomon’s signature Rock Out Camber profile, flat between the feet for stable riding, camber beneath the bindings for pop and response and rocker in the tip/tail to aid pressability. Paired with the Quadraliser sidecut (a powerful combo of Equaliser and Quadratic), you’ll enjoy quick edge-to-edge feel and confident high-speed turns.

Power through jumps with the Popster Eco Booster core, infused with bamboo and carbon rods for lively pop and lightweight strength. It uses the Aspen SLCT Core, hand-selected FSC-certified wood, plus biaxial fiberglass and eco-friendly bio-resin for a balanced, damp flex.

The board rides on a resilient sintered EG base with a stone finish offering fast glide, excellent wax retention and durability under heavy use. Add Royal Cork rails (for chatter reduction), ABS sidewalls for dampness and an ABC wooden veneer wrapper for added resilience.

Rated mid-stiff (4/5), the Assassin is playful enough for jibbing, yet stiff enough for carving stability.

Perfect for riders who want park pop, pow float and groomer grip without carrying multiple boards. If you’re progressing fast and want a reliable, fun and responsive ride across the entire mountain, the Assassin is your go-to deck.
