Nidecker Alpha Apx vs Nidecker Mellow

How they compare

the Nidecker Alpha Apx leans more all mountain, while the Nidecker Mellow leans more freeride. 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 8/10 flex (stiff).
