Nidecker Area vs Nidecker Odyssey

How they compare

the Nidecker Area leans more all mountain, while the Nidecker Odyssey 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. The Nidecker Odyssey is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
