Atomic Fallen Angel - 2010
Don’t let the price decieve you.. you get a lot of bang for your buck with the Atomic Fallen Angel. A 7200 sintered base, CNC milled tip-to-tail wood core and twin progressive sidecut… damn this board would be a steal at twice the price.

This is the most underrated board in snowboarding. I was skeptical to drink the Atomic Kool-Aid for a long time - my affinity for ski brands making snowboards was low, and I really liked supporting companies that (I thought) understood what I needed. A friend of mine was a long time Atomic team rider, and we have the same shred tastes in just about eveything. She’d been telling me how great this board was for awhile, and how much I’d love it, and one day at Solitude, she threw me on hers, and I was hooked.
Simply put, this is the finest (and cheapest!) quiver killer money can buy. I gave up on the idea of “a quiver of one” a long time ago. I still like specific boards for specific things (park, all-mountain, pow days), but if you want to hit some boxes, stomp some jumps, drop a cliff, slay some groomers, bomb a boardercross track, and ride some trees in one day, this will do it better than any board I have come across in 16 years. I ride this board 9 out of every 10 days I go out.
Technically, I think there are a couple of advantages this board has over others I’ve tried:
1. Torsional flex. The amount of available between your feet makes this board incredibly playful and responsive without sacrificing longitudinal stiffness and stability. 2. Sintered 7200 base. Other companies make similar bases, but this is the fastest and most durable base I have ever tried. It’s put up with abuse through some thin coverage, and still lets me crank down the hill without making me cranky from dropping speed. 3. Overall dampness. Atomic’s Truth 2 core (poplar in high stress areas like under inserts and around edges, willow everywhere else) eliminates chatter underfoot from tracked out snow and chunder like no other.
