THE MOUNTAIN SYSTEM IS A FUSION OF INTERDEPENDENT TECHNOLOGIES THAT SUPPORT SUCCESSFUL ROCKER PERFORMANCE Make no mistake, rocker represents a completely different approach to snowboard design. It requires a total rethink of long held ideas of how flex, materials, and shape interact and affect performance. In response, Arbor developed The System to address the new physics of riding rocker. In our opinion, the award winning "System" has proven itself to be the best rocker design yet offered.

WOOD POWER PLY - Arbor's wood Power Ply works like a 3rd layer of fiberglass - during construction resin locks the dense natural fibers in place, creating a composite layer that structurally enhances a board for added return and improved durability, while allowing for important weight reduction. The Power Ply technology allows Arbor to reduce our overall reliance on chemically treated fiberglass and petroleum-based resin by up to 20%. The Power Ply is produced using sustainably sourced, natural wood veneer. The variance of real wood grain creates a one-of-a-kind look on each board made with this technology. BIO-FILM - Every board in the Arbor line is now built with an ultra thin protective top foil made using 30% caster bean based bio-plastic. This top sheet protects the board from damage caused by loose bindings, out-of-control skiers, or other unforeseen impacts. Its natural glossy nature also eliminates the need for environmentally harmful clear coats. VOODOO CORE - Arbor's second lightest and most versatile core, designed for mountain and park level durability; built with a 100% FSC certified, sustainably produced TDS poplar. TDS is a specially selected lighter grade of wood. 2-YEAR WARRANTY: Every board in the Arbor line comes with a two-year warranty on material and workmanship.
