Arbor Veda Womens vs Nitro Alternator x Volcom

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freeride terrain, while the Arbor Veda Womens leans more powder. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature camber profiles — arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise. Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff).
