Alyeska Resort - Arbor Snowboard - Lower Mountain Confidence

Alyeska Resort, located in Girdwood, Alaska, is a premier destination for skiers and snowboarders looking for an unforgettable experience on the slopes. Known for its stunning views of the Chugach Mountains and its vast terrain, Alyeska offers something for every level of rider. From the challenging upper mountain terrain to the beginner-friendly lower mountain, there is something for everyone at this resort.

Recently, I had the opportunity to visit Alyeska and test out the new Arbor Snowboard named the Shiloh on the lower mountain. I was excited to see how this board would perform on the groomed runs and in the powder, and I was not disappointed.

The Shiloh is a versatile all-mountain board that is designed to handle any terrain that you throw at it. It features a directional twin shape, which means that it is slightly longer in the nose than in the tail, making it perfect for those who like to ride in a forward stance. The board also has a medium flex, which makes it easy to maneuver on the groomers, but still stiff enough to handle the powder.

As I made my way down the lower mountain, I was immediately impressed with the Shiloh's stability and responsiveness. The board felt solid underfoot, and I felt confident in my ability to make quick turns and navigate the terrain. The camber profile of the board helped me to maintain good edge control, and the sintered base made it easy to glide through the groomed runs.

One of the things that I appreciated most about the Shiloh was its versatility. I was able to ride it in a variety of conditions, from fresh powder to hardpack, and it performed well in all of them. The board's directional twin shape made it easy to ride switch, and the medium flex made it perfect for freeriding.

As I made my way down the mountain, I couldn't help but be in awe of the stunning views that Alyeska had to offer. The Chugach Mountains are truly breathtaking, and the resort's location on the edge of the Turnagain Arm provides some of the most spectacular views in the world.

Overall, my experience at Alyeska Resort was unforgettable, and the new Arbor Snowboard named the Shiloh was the perfect companion for my time on the lower mountain. The board's versatility, stability, and responsiveness made it a joy to ride, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a solid all-mountain board.

So, whether you are a beginner or an experienced rider, Alyeska Resort is the perfect place to experience the thrill of snowboarding and skiing. With its stunning views and vast terrain, you are sure to have an unforgettable time on the slopes. And with the new Arbor Snowboard named the Shiloh, you can rest assured that you will have a reliable and versatile companion to help you navigate the mountain with confidence.
