Borealis and ecology

Since the creation of Borealis, ecology has always been a major concern in their minds. At Borealis, They love snowboarding and nature. That’s why every board is made with eco-friendly or sustainable materials and technologies.

The Borealis Tundra has alternative components in accordance with their principles: natural bamboo top sheet, sustainably sourced wood, solvent-free and water-based ink and lacquer, recycled steel edges, biodegradable fluoride-free wax and more.

A technical and aesthetic (r)evolution

Over the past ten years, the Tundra has overseen different stages of development, reaching its climax in its 2025 version. It is lighter than before and more efficient. The wood used for the core has been modified and is now stronger than ever. Shape wise, the tips’ s length has been slightly increased which improves pow-hovering capacities and eases landings whilst sending tricks in the backcountry. The sidecut has also been improved, allowing more efficient and powerful turns whilst carving.

All in all, what makes the Tundra so special was left untouched. We simply improved what could be in order to make it even more efficient and enjoyable to ride.

Graphics wise, the first version of the Borealis Tundra had a very sober top sheet, focusing on the bamboo’s natural pattern. The intent was to highlight the Material , emphasizing on the idea that the beauty of nature is self-sufficient. Later, the Tundra became, little by little, nature’s ambassador at Borealis. Boreal landscapes and animals were added over the years. Like an ode to nature, this snowboard is a direct testimony of Borealis’ love for the living.
