Dark Horse Snowboard lands with real pop and stability
The Dark Horse Snowboard pairs a true twin shape with a Park V1 camber profile that zeros out a few centimeters before the sidecut, holding an edge on takeoffs without a stiff, punishing feel. Carbon Aramid Boosters sit right at the inserts to add pop exactly where a rider pushes off, while a Poplar and Beech core keeps the flex lively through a full day of park laps.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I land jumps hard on this board, and it doesn't fold or feel harsh coming down. The twin shape lets me ride switch out of a transition just as naturally as regular, so nothing about the takeoff or landing catches me off guard."

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.
How It Works
Applied By Backcountry Techs
Backcountry technicians treat and UV-cure every board in the shop before it leaves the warehouse, so it arrives ready to ride with no setup required.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I choose a size of the CAPiTA Dark Horse Snowboard for park riding or all-mountain laps?
Use the size chart on the product page and prioritize rider weight over height; for a more maneuverable freestyle feel, choose toward the shorter end of your suitable range. If your boots would overhang a standard-width board, consider one of the available wide sizes.What conditions suit the 2027 CAPiTA Dark Horse best?
Its Park V1 profile combines camber underfoot for edge hold and pop with zero-camber sections near the nose and tail for a more forgiving feel. It suits groomers, park features, jumps, and side hits, rather than being purpose-built for deep powder.How does the CAPiTA Dark Horse compare with a directional all-mountain snowboard?
The Dark Horse’s true twin shape supports balanced regular and switch riding, making it a natural fit for park laps and freestyle riding. A directional board is generally better suited to riders prioritizing a forward-facing stance or specialized powder performance.What bindings and stance setup work with the CAPiTA Dark Horse?
Pair it with snowboard bindings that fit your boots and mount properly to the board’s inserts; choose binding size to limit excessive toe or heel overhang. Center your boots over the edges, then set stance width and angles to suit your riding style and comfort.How should I care for the CAPiTA Dark Horse’s Superdrive base and edges?
Dry the board after riding, paying attention to the edges and binding inserts, and store it indoors in a cool, dry place. Wax the base regularly, tune the edges as needed, and clean and dry the board before applying storage wax for the off-season.
