Prior Snowboards, handcrafted in Whistler, British Columbia, is a legendary manufacturer renowned for high-performance freeride, powder, and custom-tailored splitboards. Instead of splitting their catalog by gender, Prior utilizes uniform unisex shapes across a massive matrix of lengths, waist widths, and structural layups (such as standard Triaxial Fiberglass or ultra-lightweight XTC Carbon). The comprehensive list of current snowboard models offered by Prior includes:

 

Freeride & Deep Powder Models

A classic, elongated swallowtail powder board built for high-speed tracking and surfy, wide-open alpine powder fields.

• Slasher / Slasher Split
A dedicated multi-condition powder and resort-surf hybrid designed to bridge groomer carving with deep powder lines.

A hard-charging, big-mountain powder deck with a wide nose profile and an aggressive sidecut built to handle massive technical drops and steep bowls.

• MFR (Men's Freeride)
A premier directional all-mountain freeride cruiser optimized for high-speed stability and chop absorption.

• Brandywine / Brandywine Split
An all-mountain freeride profile built with a smoother longitudinal flex to maximize control and minimize leg fatigue for lighter-weight riders.

A highly playful, blunt-tipped terrain park and all-mountain freestyle machine designed to minimize swing weight during spins.

A versatile, directional all-mountain "quiver killer" featuring a long, sweeping nose for fresh snow and a solid camber profile underfoot for firm groomers.
