WNDR Alpine Snowboards

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 BelleTour was developed for high peaks, long walks, epic lines, pillow popping, and everything in between. The first-ever implementation of Algal Core and Algal Wall in a split board provides symbiosis between you and your pursuits. A wider waist, slight swallowtail, and snappy sidecut integrate to create a shape that floats and planes as well as it pivots. Designed to optimize stiffness and performance for both touring and descending, you’re tagging lines no matter the conditions. 

The BelleTour’s core profile differs from that of the BelleAire, with an increase in thickness approaching the waist of the board, which gives the board a stiffer, evenly distributed, and supportive feel when touring, especially when breaking trail. While riding your favorite line, this increase in waist stiffness avoids the soft, vague feel that typically plagues splitboard designs that are simply the result of cutting a solid in half.  The end result is a split destined for long days of human-powered access, yet rides just like its solid sibling when it comes time to drop.

The BelleAire is here to satisfy your love for downhill dominance. Inspired by its split sibling in shape, this board is for those seeking a different high… Whether it’s your favorite side hits, fresh groomers, or holstering the board to your back for the deepest of days. The board of the future is lightweight, built from biology and ready to bring you transcendence.

The BelleAire, a solid companion to the BelleTour, has purpose-built biomaterials derived from microalgae oil to increase damping and stability while keeping the weight low and the froth tanks full! A wider waist, snappy side cut, and directional camber allow this board to be nimble while maintaining effortless floatation and edge hold. The semi-cap sidewall construction provides incredible stability and energy transmission over the edge while minimizing wear and tear, enhanced by Algal Core and Algal Wall. We exist to surf the earth on materials derived from Mother Nature.

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.
