Nidecker Mellow vs Ride Deep Fake

How they compare

Both target freeride and powder terrain, while the Ride Deep Fake leans more all mountain. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature hybrid (rocker/camber) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile. Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff). At $529.95 vs $699.95 MSRP, the Nidecker Mellow is the more budget-friendly option.
