Nitro Alternator x Volcom vs Rossignol XV Slashimi

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain and freeride riding. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Nitro Alternator x Volcom has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Rossignol XV Slashimi uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff).
