2022 Slash Snowboards Overview

The following is a quick overview of the 2022 Slash snowboards lineup.

First I will look at any new boards for the 2021-22 season, and any old 2020-21 boards that aren't returning with a 2022 model.

Then I'll place each board into the categories where I see them best fitting.

New 2022 Slash Snowboards

The new boards for 2021-22 are:

Spectrum - OK, not actually a new board, but one that wasn't around for the 2021 catalog. And then was a late release, though if you found one, you would have been doing well! The Spectrum has actually been around a while. It dropped out of the 2018 and 2019 lineups, to return in 2020 and appeared to be gone again in 2021. It's like that ex that you just can't stop going back to! It's back for 2022 (officially in the catalog even!), let's see how long it sticks around this time.
Aurora - Also not a new board for 2022, but a returning one, like the Spectrum. The Aurora's history is almost as turbulent. It had a 2017 model, but not a 2018 model. Then it came back with a 2019 model and a 2020 model, but went missing again from the 2021 catalog but also appears to have gotten a late release. It's officially back for 2022.
Portal - This is a recurring theme, but also not a new board! This one has a less tempestuous history though - it was a new board for 2020 but didn't return in 2021 (at least not to start with but also appeared to get a late, limited edition 2021 model). Only time will tell if it's in and out like the Spectrum and Aurora.
Straight - This actually appeared in the 2021 catalog by name, but was actually the Vertical. The actual Straight from 2020 does return with a 2022 model though. If you're not confused yet, you're doing better than I am! Looks to be the same board as it was in the 2020 model.

All the 2021 models are coming back with a 2022 model.

All 2022 Slash Snowboards by Category

I have categorized Slash's 2021-22 collection below. This is according to the categories here at SnowboardingProfiles.com and not necessarily the same as how Slash might label them.

Of course these are only broad categories as every board is different, but this is a rough guide.

SLASH BEGINNER SNOWBOARDS

Men's

Happy Place

SLASH PARK/FREESTYLE SNOWBOARDS

Men's

Happy Place – See Full Review | Top 10 Freestyle Board
Spectrum

SLASH ALL-MOUNTAIN-FREESTYLE SNOWBOARDS

There isn't a Slash board that strictly fits this category, IMO, though the Brainstorm, or even the Happy Place could be used for this style of riding for sure.

SLASH AGGRESSIVE ALL-MTN-FREESTYLE SNOWBOARDS

There isn't a Slash board that strictly fits this category, IMO, though the ATV and Aurora could easily be used for this style of riding.

Summary

So there you have the 2022 Slash snowboards.

The line went from 7 boards for 2021 up to 11 for 2022. Still a small line but not as small as the 2021 line looked. But then with all the late releases that weren't in the catalog - it might be that there have been zero changes... or actually 1, with the straight coming back... I dunno!. If you're keeping up, I'm impressed.

Out with the Old

What will actually be released in 2022 models seems to be a bit of a crap shoot, but for now, let's assume the catalog has it right!

In which case everything from 2021 seems to be returning.

In with the New

4 "new" boards total. Though 3 of them had late 2021 releases and previous history. And the other "new" board had a 2020 model. So really no actual new boards.

Changes to Existing Models

One thing that does seem to remain constant is their existing boards - no major changes there, except one thing:

ATV: Drops the 150 but adds a 163W. Looks like just sizing subtractions and additions

That was a little painful! But the boards of theirs that I've ridden have all been sick rides, and that's the main thing!
