Borealis Artefact 2027
The Award-Winning All-Mountain Freeride Snowboard
Built for riders who want to charge steep faces, technical lines and serious big-mountain terrain, the Artefact combines powerful edge hold with the stability and precision needed when the consequences get higher.
Its directional shape and responsive construction give you the confidence to attack steep, gnarly terrain at speed, while still offering the versatility to ride powder, natural features and big kickers.
The Artefact also delivers exceptional carving performance, making it equally at home on steep groomers and hardpack between big-mountain missions.

Big-Mountain Stability
The Artefact is built to stay composed when the terrain gets steep, technical and fast. Its directional platform provides a powerful, predictable feel for committing to exposed lines, steep faces and challenging snow conditions.
Precision Carving
Edge Synergy technology delivers powerful, consistent edge engagement and precise turn initiation, allowing the Artefact to hold a strong line through aggressive carving. Liquid Sidewalls help absorb vibration and chatter, keeping the board smooth and controlled when driving hard through the turn.
Fast & Powerful Base
The Durasurf 4001 Sintered Base provides a fast, durable riding surface designed to maintain speed across hardpack, variable snow and long high-speed traverses. Combined with the Artefact's responsive construction, it helps the board carry speed confidently from one turn to the next.
Powder Float & Technical Terrain
The tapered profile, elongated nose and Directional Camrock provide natural float in deep snow while keeping the board precise and responsive in technical terrain.
Power for Big Lines & Big Kickers
The Ultra Light Forest Core, Triaxial Fibreglass and Carbon Power Strips combine low weight with torsional strength and explosive pop — giving the Artefact the power and stability to send serious big-mountain lines or large park kickers.
Built to Charge
From steep faces and technical lines to hard carving and big kickers, the Artefact is built to handle serious riding.
