Born in the French Alps
Born in the heart of the Alps, Borealis Snowboards was founded in 2013 by Ben Hall, a British-French rider who spent his formative years between Geneva and the French Mont-Blanc region.
Drawing on over 35 years of mountain experience and feedback from some of the best riders in the business, we're proud to offer gear that’s high-performance yet incredibly comfortable. Every one of our models has its own unique identity and style, crafted to match your individual riding technique.
Our handcrafted boards are built with premium, sustainable materials. We put a special focus on natural bamboo—it’s light, 100% renewable, and brings brilliant properties to your ride. We also use Zero-VOC resin, sustainable wood, and other innovative alternatives.
Quality and Originality
We shape our gear with one goal: high performance. On the mountain, where conditions can change in an instant, there’s no room for guesswork. Our award-winning equipment is proven—tested and trusted by pro riders, leading snowboard magazines, specialty shops, and, most importantly, our community of happy Borealis owners.
Ethnobotanist Terence McKenna famously said, "Nature is the great visible engine of creativity, against which all other creative efforts are measured." This philosophy guides everything we do. Our designs are a tribute to nature's artistry, offering original, balanced, and timeless aesthetics. We find our inspiration in the natural world, from its patterns and colors to its perfect shapes, creating gear that is as beautiful as it is functional.
Inspired by Nature
Back in 2013, when we first launched Borealis Snowboards, our goal was simple: to create high-performance boards with the least possible impact on nature. Today, that promise is at the heart of everything we do.
We’re proud to use alternative solutions like natural bamboo, Zero-VOC resin, and sustainable wood cores. We also incorporate recycled steel edges and biodegradable wax to ensure our boards are as kind to the planet as they are brilliant on the mountain.
Our Vision
"My vision for Borealis is to create stunning, epic-looking snowboards, each with its own unique identity. While pursuing peak performance, my true aim is to deliver as much fun and stoke as possible to snowboarders everywhere. From day one, I've prioritized using sustainable materials wherever possible, striving to be a model company in a world where climate change is a very real issue.
We hope you have amazing moments on our boards—the kind you'll remember for a lifetime." — Ben Hall
