The 2019 Salomon snowboards will be out soon.
They have added some new boards for the 2018-19 season, dropped some and made some adjustments to existing boards in the line – some of those relatively significant and some more minor.
They have done a lot towards expanding their splitboard collection.
New Salomon Boards for 2019
- Salomon Piece (new jib/freestyle board in the line)
- Salomon Premiere (new splitboard)
- Salomon Speedway (new freeride board)
- Salomon Speedway Split (splitboard version of the new speedway)
- Salomon Sickstick Split (new splitboard version of the Sickstick)
- Salomon HPS-Taka Nakai X Wille Nyvelt (say that three times fast! – the new powder board in their line)
- Salomon Pillow Talk Split (splitboard version of the women’s pillow talk – their first women’s split board in the line
Drop-Outs
- Salomon Solomonder (replaced by the Piece – though they are quite different boards, but similar in terms of category)
- Salomon Split (maybe the lack of creativity in the name for this one, led to its demise!)
- Salomon Man’s Board
So, they’ve gone from one splitboard (with two size options) to 4 splitboards. I guess you could getaway with naming your splitboard “Split” when you only had one of them! But you’ve got to get a little more creative when you’ve got 4.

Thanks for reading
So, there is the 2019 Salomon snowboard line-up.
One jib/park board gone, replaced by another and 1 split board ditched and replaced by 4 more. Their biggest shift seems to be in the split board market – and with some relatively significant changes to the Assassin and Assassin Pro.
The dropping of the long standing Salomon Man’s board was perhaps the biggest surprise.
