Chimera Backcountry Snowboards

Shaper’s Notes

From steep tree lines to wide open bowls, the unicorn chaser has the float and soul of a swallowtail in compact, easy-riding shape that will keep you in pow slashes days after the storm cycle has passed. The high-taper shape makes 4” of fresh feel bottomless, and renders deep snow effortless.  The combination of a pintail shape and hybrid camber provides a nimble and responsive platform, making this a versatile board for more than just powder days.

Touring, the long nose breaks trail like a wolverine while the pintail makes the ski easy to position on technical skin tracks. A completely flat contact patch maximizes traction.

Shaper’s Notes

The award-winning Sceptre is the all-around backcountry board; a go-to workhorse for any conditions, terrain or weather.

The combination of a mid-taper shape with carefully-designed sidecut, setback, flex and profile has produced a board with high float in powder yet is stable, precise and forgiving across variable conditions. The Sceptre merges a mid-tapered, wider nose with a longer tail for stability and versatility.

In ski mode, the Sceptre is perfectly balanced for maneuverability and trail breaking, while the level contact patch maximizes traction on the skin track.

Shaper's Notes

Born from the mysterious scrawls and ravings of riders / builders Tanner Crow and Willy Nevins, the Shop Rat has the soul of a pintail and the heart of a park board. The high-taper nose and hybrid camber keeps it unsinkable in pow and bottomless in turns, while the longer tail increases pop and stability to keep you on your feet and perfectly balanced. From pow to slush; from pillows to jibs; from icy skin tracks to lazy nose butters; the Shop Rat is our new backcountry smasher.

In ski mode, the Shop Rat is perfectly balanced, while the long nose eats up trail-breaking, and a flat contact patch maximizes traction.
