Description
2026 Nitro Squash Snowboard
Pow days, groomer days, and everything in between—this is where the Squash thrives. With its surf-inspired swallowtail shape and responsive Trüe Camber profile, the Squash is engineered to float in deep snow, carve trenches on corduroy, and lay down high-speed turns with total confidence. Its directional design and tapered tail give it that effortless, back-foot-driven surfy feel, while the Powerlite Core and Sintered Speed Formula HD Base keep things lightweight and lightning fast. Designed to be ridden shorter than your standard deck, the Squash is a freeride weapon with a freestyle twist.
Who is this board best for?
Advanced riders looking for a high-speed, directional board that floats like a dream in powder but still rips hardpack and groomers.
