Salomon Jetstream - Review

The Jetstream is Salomon’s freeride carver, and honestly, it rips. If you like charging groomers, dipping into pow, and riding fast without getting thrown around, this board is right up your alley.

On groomers, it holds an edge really well. The camber underfoot gives it power, but it’s not crazy stiff, so you don’t need to be an expert to control it. Super fun for big carves.

In powder, the tapered shape and the big nose make it float way better than you’d expect for something that still carves this well. You don’t have to fight it, just lean back a bit and go.

Stability is solid. It’s not a total plank, but it’s damp enough for high-speed runs and still nimble in trees.

It’s not a park board and not great for riding switch. This is for freeride/all-mountain riders who want something directional and confident.

Build quality is super nice, and Salomon packed in a lot of eco materials without making the board feel cheap.

Bottom line:

If you want a board that carves hard, floats great, and lets you ride fast without feeling sketchy, the Jetstream is an awesome choice.

Tech Breakdown

Profile:

Traditional camber with a bit of early rise in the nose. Super stable in carves, smoother in pow, and predictable overall.

Shape:

Directional with solid taper. Big nose, more compact tail, the recipe for effortless float and cleaner turn exits.

Flex:

Mid-stiff. Strong enough for speed, soft enough to stay friendly all day.

Core:

Light wood core with carbon/eco additives. Keeps the board damp without adding weight or making it feel “dead.”

Sidecut:

Carving-friendly radius. It really likes to be put on edge and will hold that line without washing out.

Base:

Fast sintered base.

Mounting:

Setback stance for natural float and a directional feel.

Best For:

Freeride/all-mountain riders who value carving power, speed, and float more than switch or park performance.
