The Black Snowboard of Death Snowboard holds up at real speed
The Black Snowboard of Death pairs a hybrid Alpine V1 camber profile with three distinct carbon reinforcements built for control at speed. Mid-body camber holds an edge on hardpack while a reverse-cambered nose keeps the tip up in deep snow, and Fairmat Carbon Amplifiers, CarbonFlax Amplifiers, and underfoot Carbon Fleece Power Shields work together for stiffness, dampening, and torsional control without adding weight. A Thermopolymer Hover Core built from recycled Thermopolymer channels and lightweight wood strips keeps the chassis light without feeling hollow underfoot.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I push this board into a fast line expecting a legacy name to mean legacy performance, and it doesn't. The carbon reinforcement underfoot holds torsional control through chattery snow, so the edge stays locked in right when I need it, not just when conditions are perfect."

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.
