Rossignol Alias Snowboard By k0b3x on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
I recently upgraded to the Alias a few weeks ago from my old Rossignol board (because the brand has been very good to me) and I can say that it hasn't been a disappointment. The board design is very unique and it has a very stylish speaker in the middle and a nice powder white on the outside, in other words it is eye catching. THe board retails for close to $400, but since this is an older model (the newer ones don't look as nice in my opinion) you can grab this for just over $200 if you're lucky. As construction goes, it is top notch because it is a very fast 4.4k sintered base, and it is very "poppy" because of it's carbon + kevlar wood core. I can good amounts of air with it and it feels stable on the landings. It is mainly a freestyle board for riders who are intermediate to advanced so if you are a beginner I would start with a cheaper board to work your way up becaue this board is not the greatest for simply carving and riding. However, if you want a great looking board that has great bang for buck value, then look no further. Hurry though because this model may be replaced very soon!

I had a pair of rosignal skis that I loved. Bet the board is just as good!
Not a topic I know much about, but you've given good information to someone who knows wants to upgrade without going top of the line.
I've never been snowboarding but would love to try it one day. Sounds like a nice board!
