Arbor Element vs Salomon Pulse

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. They share a directional twin shape — mostly twin with a slight directional bias—versatile for all-mountain and some switch. The Arbor Element has a rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Salomon Pulse uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Arbor Element is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
