Arbor Carter vs Arbor Verado

How they compare

the Arbor Carter leans more freeride/powder, while the Arbor Verado leans more all mountain. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Arbor Carter has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Arbor Verado uses rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). The Arbor Carter targets expert riders while the Arbor Verado is aimed at advanced riders.
