Never Summer Snowtrooper vs Nitro Alternator X Volcom

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. The Never Summer Snowtrooper uses a directional twin shape while the Nitro Alternator X Volcom is directional. The Never Summer Snowtrooper has a hybrid (camber/rocker) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Nitro Alternator X Volcom uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Nitro Alternator X Volcom is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
