Mega Death Snowboard holds its line at speed without the extra weight
The Mega Death Snowboard pairs a hybrid Alpine V1 camber profile with a Death Grip sidecut built for riders who push speed across variable terrain. Camber underfoot holds an edge on hardpack while a reverse-cambered nose keeps the tip up in deep snow, and a reverse-arc sidecut through the midsection gives the board a dedicated pressure point through the middle of every turn. A Thermopolymer core built from graded Poplar and recycled Thermopolymer channels keeps the chassis light without feeling hollow underfoot, wrapped in a full carbon layup for direct, immediate response.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I push this board hard into variable snow expecting the light build to get knocked off line, and it doesn't. The sidecut holds a pressure point through the middle of the turn, so I stay locked in even when the terrain underneath me keeps changing."

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 size the CAPiTA Mega Death 2027 by rider weight?
Use the listed weight range as a starting point: the 156 suits 130–190 lb (59–86 kg), while the 159 suits 140–200 lb (63–90 kg). Choose between sizes based on boot fit and whether you want a more maneuverable or more stable ride.How does the Alpine V1 Directional profile perform on the CAPiTA Mega Death?
The Alpine V1 Directional profile combines mid-body camber for edge hold with a flat tail and reverse-camber nose for directional control and float in softer snow. Its freeride-oriented shape favors downhill stability over a centered park setup.Which CAPiTA Mega Death size should I choose for larger boots?
The Mega Death is available in wide sizes—157W, 161W, 165W, and 169W—to provide more room for larger boots and help reduce toe and heel drag. Choose by boot size alongside the listed rider-weight range; for example, the 157W is listed for 140–200 lb (63–90 kg).What is the Thermopolymer Starship Core made of?
The CAPiTA Mega Death’s Thermopolymer Starship Core combines graded Poplar with recycled Thermopolymer channels. This construction pairs a wood core with thermopolymer reinforcement.How does the MEGADRIVE XT base suit all-mountain riding?
The MEGADRIVE XT is a high-carbon UHMW polyethylene race base designed for efficient glide across varied snow conditions. Regular hot-waxing helps maintain its glide, particularly after riding abrasive or dry snow.
