Salomon Assassin
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I wouldn’t overthink it, it’s a good board go for it
- Getting assasin for that price is a huge steal snd haven’t seen that in EU
- You’re going to love it and got a great deal on it. I rode that board last season in a 56 and it’s good at everything.
- The assassin is a great board!
- I rode it for 2 seasons, pretty much the same situation and skill level you described. This board is going to take you to the next level. It's definitely not the best on powder, but other than that it can handle it pretty well.
Cons
- K2 Passport, ride moderator/shadowban, jones frontier, yes standard, rome ravine, Salomon assassin, wired recon
- Parent context: Why doesn’t it do the best in powder? Because it’s a little more stiff? Reply: I guess it's because this board is a directional twin with a centered stance and camber underfoot, so it doesn’t float as easily on that condi...
- Currently thinking of getting a volume shifted snowboard in conjunction with my Salomon Assassin.

Parent context: Why doesn’t it do the best in powder? Because it’s a little more stiff? Reply: I guess it's because this board is a directional twin with a centered stance and camber underfoot, so it doesn’t float as easily on that condition (compared to pow boards). I end up working harder to keep the nose up compared to something even more directional and with more set back.
The assassin is a great board!

This Salomon Assassin was listed for 60% off at my local ski resort and I jumped on it. Did a very quick search and saw a few people saying it’ll be fine for beginners so I feel confident I’ll like it.
previously was on a Salomon assassin. Found that to be quite a nice ride but wanted to switch things up
Something like a Salomon Assassin could be good too.
