In 2013, Borealis was founded by Ben Hall with a singular, ambitious vision: to create world-class premium freeride snowboards that honour the mountains as much as the riders who explore them. Born in the heart of the French Alps, our brand has spent over a decade proving that high-end performance and deep-rooted environmental ethics are not just compatible—they are essential to the future of snowboarding.
A Decade of Performance and Awards
Since our early days, Borealis has carved out a unique space in the industry. We didn't just want to be another snowboard company; we aimed to be a laboratory for exclusive shapes and innovative geometries.
Our dedication to craftsmanship has not gone unnoticed. Over the years, Borealis has been honoured with numerous industry awards, a testament to the technical precision and ride quality of our decks. From the iconic shapes that provide effortless float in deep powder to the stable chargers built for technical steeps, our quiver represents the pinnacle of modern freeride engineering.
The French Touch, Globally Proven
While our roots are firmly planted in France, the Borealis spirit knows no borders. Today, our boards are ridden by passionate enthusiasts and professionals all over the world. Whether it is on the legendary faces of the Alps, the deep forests of Japan, or the rugged peaks of North America, the Borealis community continues to grow, united by a shared love for the "perfect turn."
Innovation with a Soul
Our positioning has always been clear: Premium Freeride with an Eco-Conscious Heart. Since 2013, we have pioneered the use of alternative materials. We were among the first to integrate structural bamboo and organic elements into our designs, not just for their stunning aesthetics, but for the unique, lively feel they bring to the ride. Our commitment to sustainability is a core part of our DNA—from our choice of sustainable wood cores to our transition towards cleaner, VOC-free manufacturing processes.
Looking Ahead
Today, Borealis remains a fiercely independent brand. We continue to push the boundaries of shape and material science, ensuring that every board leaving our factory is a masterpiece of performance and durability.
We don't just build snowboards; we build the future of freeriding.
