Sims Distortion vs Sims Vanilla
Snowboards comparison — 2026-2027 season
How they compare
Both target freestyle terrain, while the Sims Distortion leans more all mountain. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. Both feature hybrid (camber/rocker) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile. At $480 vs $520 MSRP, the Sims Vanilla is the more budget-friendly option.
