Here’s a fun new technology for snowboards, a banana-rocker that supposedly helps you to float better in powder while achieving better turns.  You can get these boards at Lib Tech.

This has several effects: It helps boards float a bit more in powder and over choppy snow, pivot the entire board between the feet for quick slash turns, make the ends less accidentally catchy, and precurving the board’s ends in an arc that allow the board to carve well when you lean over enough. It gives the overall board a very free feeling, like a surfboard or park board with no edges, but let you carve when necessary when you put the board up on its side.
