Factory Blems

Blems are largely due to cosmetic imperfections or subtle shaping processes which we evolved out of and thus downgraded prior versions to spotlight improvements. There is nothing wrong with the integrity of these boards and we back the warranty on these just as we would production grade snowboards. All current year blems are listed at a 10% discount below retail price based on the issue. 

Explanations and/or photos of specific blemishes are available upon request.  For any additional questions, do not hesitate to reach us via email to hello@wndr-alpine.com, live chat (left side of any page on the website) or by phone at 801.415.1815.

Factory blemishes, or what we prefer to call them, birthmarks, are largely due to cosmetic imperfections, such as a shifted top sheet, a dimple in the top sheet or a screen print artwork issue.  These minor imperfections do not hinder the performance or integrity of the ski or board.  We back the warranty on these just as we would on any production A-grade ski or board. All factory blemishes are listed at a significant discount below retail price based on the issue and model year. Explanations are available upon request. 

The multiple award-winning Intention 108 is our most stable platform for ascending from treeline to alpine, playing amongst featured terrain, arcing down the apron or adapting to terrain and snowpack inconsistencies. The ski’s mid-range sidecut enables quick turn initiation with a side of forgiveness. The consistent tip to tail flex profile delivers a high top speed, and the advanced biobased materials used throughout the ski work to absorb vibration, maintain stability, and boost any skier’s confidence when it comes time to descend the line you’ve been dreaming of.

Light enough for a big day of human-powered access and agile enough to get the most out of any terrain, the Reason 120 is the shape for the days we all dream of. A girthy 120mm waist width provides effortless buoyancy in the deepest and lightest powder, while a spry 20m turn radius keeps the Reason easy to manage in tight terrain. The Reason’s Algal Core and Algal Wall work in conjunction to provide added stability and torsional stiffness to the platform, enabling it to be driven hard through variable snow. All in all, the Reason is a ski dedicated to deep snow pleasures that still shines in less-than-primo conditions.
