Salomon Assassin Snowboard
I am a progressing intermediate rider. I like to ride all-mountain with occasional visits to the park. This board works great for that. I have yet to try it in some pow, but it should do ok if I set the stance back all the way. I am riding the 153 with large Union Force bindings and 10.5 Burton boots. Surprisingly, with a waist width of just 247, I have yet to boot out on steep terrain. It has a slight, ever so slightly, just under medium flex. I'd say it's about a 4.5. It has very good edge grip, and a very fast base. The pop has a skate-like feel and you can get some good height on it. The board is quite maneuverable in technical terrain. Overall, a great all-mountain board. I would recommend this board to beginners becoming intermediates and true intermediates. If you are a more advanced rider, go look at the Salomon Assassin Pro.

Salomon Assassin Snowboard
I am a beginner and so far I love this board. I prefer to ride powder and this board give me so much control when learning to carve. It feels super lightweight and flexible, especially paired with my soft Salomon District Bindings. In the pictures the board looks Brown, but unless its under direct sunlight the board is a slick looking black. Doesn't it remind you of Game of Thrones the RED WEDDING? An Assassin indeed.
