Never Summer Llama vs Never Summer Trooper
Snowboards comparison — 2026-2027 season
How they compare
Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. The Never Summer Llama uses a twin shape while the Never Summer Trooper is directional twin. The Never Summer Llama has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Never Summer Trooper uses hybrid (camber/rocker) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Never Summer Trooper is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. At $639.99 vs $669.99 MSRP, the Never Summer Trooper is the more budget-friendly option.
