Pyre 2020

Destroy pow, not the planet. The Niche Pyre Snowboard is a blunt-nosed powder machine that you can keep riding when the resort gets tracked up. A fun directional shape that's not so over-the-top that it can't handle groomers, it's got a couple traction bumps as it tapers to a mini swallowtail. Combined with traditional camber under the back foot, this keeps the rockered nose from rendering it useless in anything but pow. On the contrary: this thing rips groomers. When you factor in that it was made at The Mothership according to Niche's strict environmentally sound manufacturing process, this board feels extra nice in the trees.
