Product Info

The Nitro Alternator is a hard-charging, all-mountain freeride powerhouse built for riders who refuse to compromise between freestyle expression and big-mountain aggression. Designed as the ultimate quiver-killer for backcountry freestyle master Jared Elston, this board is engineered to excel in everything from deep powder stashes and massive natural pillows to high-speed groomer carves and technical ridge descents. It features a capable directional shape paired with a traditional camber profile, delivering explosive snap, unwavering stability at speed, and surgical edge control when conditions get demanding.Under the hood, the Alternator is loaded with Nitro’s most advanced performance tech to ensure a highly responsive yet lightweight ride. It features a Powerlite Core coupled with a Reflex Core Profile—a thinned-out wood core between your feet that enhances torsional flex and maneuverability without sacrificing raw power. To maximize energy transfer and durability, Carbon Tape reinforcement run tip-to-tail, injecting massive pop for blasting off natural features and stomping heavy landings. Finished with a lightning-fast Sintered Speed Formula II Base for maximum glide, the Nitro Alternator is a premium, rugged vehicle tuned for experienced riders who treat the entire mountain as their personal terrain park.

Technical Features

Directional Shape

Directional shape is the classic snowboard shape, designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose than tail to concentrate pop in the tail while providing plenty of float in powder. A softer nose allows for a smoother roll into your carve, while a stiffer waist and tail provides better control through the turn and a stronger finish.

Trüe Camber

Full camber profiles are ideal for powerful turns and poppy precision. They offer a snappy suspension with weight distributed evenly across the entire board for smooth, continuous edge control from tip to tail. The support and snap you get from a cambered board is unrivaled by any other camber design. 

Skill Level

Designed for the intermediate to advanced rider, this board provides excellent control without sacrificing technical maneuverability.

Dual Digressive Sidecut

This sidecut blends a smaller radius in the center with two larger sidecuts in the tip and tail, making it loose and playful. Nitro’s most forgiving sidecut. 

Flex Rating

The 7/10 flex rating gives this board a precise feel without being too punishing. A great all-around flex for the all-mountain rider.

Sintered Speed Formula II Base

Rocket science put to work! Nitro uses a nanotech wax formula to deeply infuse their sintered base material to make it lightning fast in all snow conditions. Highly tuned and extremely durable, the Speed Formula II base is featured on Nitro’s high-end board line.

Powerlite Core

The highest grade of ultra-lightweight poplar wood in Nitro’s Powerlite core makes for the perfect ride with lots of pop and unmatched strangth at minimal weight.

Carbon Tape

Oriented under the insert packs, the carbon supercharges edge-to-edge response.
