Ghost Green Core
It is a well-known fact that core material of a snowboard must be lightweight so that the board doesn’t sink in the snow. Salomon has tried hard to make their core extremely lightweight and they are successful in this.
The best of the wood strips has been selected for the official Salomon Snowboard, carefully carved and then mixed with high-quality sustainable wood which is very lightweight. All of this mixture is integrated into the core of the Official to produce a light yet poopy core material. It is very lightweight too so there is no chance of the board sinking in the snow.

Directional Twin Shape
As we all know that snowboarding is of many types and therefore snowboards are also designed as such to meet the needs of a specific terrain. However, we would like to tell you that amazingly, Official has the Directional Twin shape which is able to perfectly meet the needs of all freestyle terrain.
It also has a directional flex for great power and generating high speed. The flex is stiff enough for advanced riders, however, some intermediates were also able to ride this board, though this is not recommended. All of this makes the board very responsive and playful too.
