How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Arbor Westmark leans more freestyle, while the Salomon Super 8 leans more freeride/powder. The Arbor Westmark uses a twin shape while the Salomon Super 8 is directional. The Arbor Westmark has a rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Salomon Super 8 uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Salomon Super 8 is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Arbor Westmark targets advanced riders while the Salomon Super 8 is aimed at expert riders.
