2027 Arbor Formula Snowboard
The 2027 Arbor Formula is a versatile all-mountain snowboard built for riders who want an approachable ride with plenty of room to progress. For 2027, the Formula moves from the System Camber platform used in previous years to System Rocker, pairing Parabolic Rocker with a directional twin shape and Grip Tech for smooth turn initiation, reliable edge control, and a more forgiving overall feel. A Highland II Core, Mixed Glassing, and sintered base give the Formula the response and performance to keep up as riding progresses, making it equally comfortable cruising groomers, exploring trees, finding side hits, or riding varied terrain across the mountain.
