The flex is slightly stiff but evenly distributed, offering a blend of firmness and a hint of softness that gives excellent snow feel. This Milligram remains firm enough to inspire total confidence on edge, whether climbing or descending through tight terrain, while still maintaining playability for those with a solid level of experience. It performs well in wide, high-speed turns, even on hard snow, and stays dynamic and nimble when navigating dense forests with limited visibility or weaving through tight fir trees.
When you get off the slopes, you've got a powerful, precise riding machine that feels fast, a hard snow trafolle swallower. In powder, it's easy to ride, pivots well when you play with the tail, loses its slightly serious side, feels nimble, gets out of the way easily, you're well balanced and can concentrate while looking far ahead.
As the title suggests, the movie is about snowboard sessions right in their proper backyards. With Marc based in Pustertal, Thomas in Innsbruck, and Mario in Zillertal, the film takes you on a short journey through their local playgrounds and mountain ranges. Together with filmmakers Daniel Niederkofler and Mario Käppeli, they not only covered a mad amount of vertical meters but also enjoyed a season filled with powder, sunshine, and good times! Expect plenty of splitboard and backcountry action.
In an age dominated by pixels and screens, there's something undeniably magical about capturing snowboarding on real film. Every frame tells a raw, unfiltered story, full of texture, imperfections, and authenticity. No instant retakes, no filters—just pure, organic moments in the mountains.
Performance-wise, this one is perhaps better at multi-tasking than the average dad. Its powder prowess is made clear in the shape alone, but carving on hard-pack comes naturally too. It’s certainly not a freestyle board, and even some other all-mountain models (including the Amplid Singular, more on which below) may be a better pick for those who truly want to keep all options open.
Ask any splitboarder what would make their life easier, and the answer will usually be the same: a lighter setup for the way up that still rips on the way down. Each year, tons of work goes into cracking this particular nut, but few have managed it quite like the Amplid Milligram.
The Amplid Singular represents Amplid's efforts to crack the final frontier in snowboard design: the perfect all-mountain snowboard. An in-depth review of the Amplid Singular Directional snowboard for 2024-2025 – tested, tried and reviewed by the Whitelines test team. Why We Chose The Amplid Singular: They may be the masters of evidence-based, technical-as-hell board design, but the folk at Amplid still know how to make a crowd-pleaser.

The Amplid UNW8 definitely isn’t for everyone, but it’s still a favorite of some of our reviewers. It’s a pretty demanding model, but paired with an advanced rider used to the feel of a full-camber board, the UNW8 offers a solid and poppy ride in a lightweight platform. It’s ideal for those who like to go fast and who know how to use camber to their advantage.
The Pentaquark is still one of the best carving boards we’ve tested. Essentially, it blends the qualities of a race board with hints of those from all-mountain options. The Pentaquark is crafted to be light but is still quite damp, thanks to Amplid’s Antiphase construction. This board offers a lengthy effective edge (due to its shortened tip and tail lengths) that provides excellent edge hold on firm conditions.
The Amplid Pentaquark doesn’t have that older school super stiff flex, but it feels damper than most of those boards I’ve ridden. The Antiphase tech is no bullshit. It’s amazing how quiet the board can feel underfoot in uneven snow of any kind. Even though I mainly took this out in good conditions, it didn’t flinch when I hit a rough patch of snow. This is special and a good call for those who like to carve but often have to ride on busy days.
Uneven Terrain: I haven’t experienced this kind of dampness for this flex before trying the Amplid Singular. It really is amazing in everything from hard to soft, uneven snow. Often times I ignore talking about tech because it’s more about how it rides, but this Antiphase tech deserves mention as it’s far from being smoke-and-mirror bullshit.
The Snommelier may occupy a fairly narrow niche, but it’s one of our favorite boards to be on when arcing huge turns in soft snow. Its wide, blunted nose, sole length option of 166 cm, and vintage swallowtail combine to do an excellent job of keeping its nose afloat and alleviating stress on the back leg in deep snow. Like many of Amplid’s boards, the Snommelier is also surprisingly light (despite its large size).
So the Amplid Snommelier is an amazing floater. I was in thigh-high power in some places, and it felt like it wasn’t even trying. Despite being more of a big mtn bomber, this floats super well in low-angle powder. Even with this setback, massive taper, and large swallowtail, you feel more centered on board than you are...

The European and Mediterranean, as well as the North American winter, can experience significant fluctuations when a climate phenomenon called La Niña occurs. This natural phenomenon, characterized by anomalous cooling of the surface waters of the central-eastern Pacific Ocean, has global implications and affects atmospheric and climatic patterns in different parts of the world, including Europe.

After a decent snowstorm in Tirol we got ready to film our 4th episode. The forecast promised save conditions and nice weather in the east south. So we decided to try it in Zillertal Arena. Mario knew a ridge with a couple of lines as it's his home resort...
In a groundbreaking move that's set to revolutionize the winter sports scene, Amplid proudly unveils its latest innovation: Snow Foiling. Inspired by the thrill of foil surfing on water, our team of visionary engineers and designers have ingeniously adapted this concept to the snowy slopes, creating an exhilarating new way to ride.
You come to Laax and don’t know where the Banked will take place this year. It’s somewhere different each time. Surprise, surprise. The terrain is always changed and the shapers really adapt the course to the terrain. The natural topography has a huge influence on the course, which makes it super interesting. This year it was mega intelligently built. Because it’s rather steep...
The Amplid Morning Glory is pretty tapered and directional with 25mm of taper. You ride this setback on sidecut as well as a good bit more on board. It doesn’t have that washy tail tapered feel, though, and I never once felt like I needed to back weight the tail to keep it from washing out.
Oh yes, the Alps do have some sick spines - ask Austrian Amplid rider Victor Heim! But please forgive him if he doesn't tell you the exact geo data of his secret lines...
A day between some mountain huts in Italy. Doesn't matter if lines, pillows, cliffs, lips or jumps. The terrain behind those huts has it all! Together we had a blast, chilling at the huts and shredding until the sunset.
