Bataleon Whatever X Rop van Mierlo Snowboard - 2026

Bataleon Whatever x Rop van Mierlo Snowboard blends wild style with all-mountain freedom

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“The Whatever has always been the quiver killer in Bataleon’s lineup, and this Rop van Mierlo edition makes it a piece of art as well as a ride-anything board. The medium flex and Triple Base shaping make carving smooth and forgiving, while the added carbon and SuperTubes give it the pop and control to hit side hits, drops, and natural features with confidence. It’s one of those boards you can strap into on day one of the season and never want to put away.”

The Bataleon Whatever x Rop van Mierlo Snowboard 2026 is where art meets adventure. Featuring Dutch artist Rop van Mierlo’s signature watercolor cats—each size with its own unique feline—the board is as expressive on the mountain as it is on the wall. But it’s more than a canvas: the Whatever is built as a true all-mountain freestyle deck for riders who want one board to ride it all. With a medium flex and Bataleon’s Triple Base Technology™ paired with SideKick™, it’s forgiving enough to progress on while still delivering the precision and edge hold needed for carving steep lines.

Underneath the graphics, the Whatever packs serious tech. A balanced Light Core keeps things lively and responsive, while carbon stringers and Dual SuperTubes add pop and power. FlexWalls™ sidewalls dampen chatter for smooth cruising, and the Ultra Glide S sintered base keeps you flying fast across groomers, pow, or slushy spring laps. The Whatever is the board that says yes to every line, every jump, and every spontaneous detour across the mountain.

Phantom Glide By DPS Skis

This snowboard is compatible with Phantom Glide, the long-lasting base treatment from DPS Skis. Backcountry technicians apply and UV-cure it before the board ships, so it arrives ready to ride with no waxing needed.

Glide That Outlasts Wax
Wax sits on top of the base and wears off in a few days. Phantom Glide bonds into the base, so glide stays fast and consistent from cold powder to spring slush.

No More Wax Days
Phantom Glide replaces scraping, ironing, and shop visits with a quick base cleaning using the Phantom Glide Base Care Kit. The formula is made without PFAS.
