Facts Snowboard brings playful flex, hybrid rocker, and all-mountain versatility
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"This board is super fun—playful when you want it, but stable enough to push all over the mountain. The Banana rocker makes it forgiving and floaty, while the Magne-Traction edges lock in grip on hardpack. I’ve taken it from park laps to powder stashes, and it rips everywhere."
The Facts Snowboard proves that versatility is the truth when it comes to all-mountain riding. GNU designed it with a directional twin shape, a lively medium flex, and their Original Banana hybrid rocker profile—mixing mild rocker between the feet with subtle camber toward the tips for float, stability, and playful pop.
The lightweight G Lite 1 wood core balances poplar and paulownia for strength without the bulk, reinforced by triax/biax fiberglass for responsive energy. Magne-Traction edges bite into icy slopes with seven contact points, giving us unreal control no matter the snowpack. Add in a sintered knife-cut base for lasting speed, and this board is ready for the full spectrum—powder, park, groomers, and everything between.

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.
