Raise your own bar on the mountain with the Benchmark Snowboard
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I rode this on a powder morning that turned into a few laps through the park on the way back to the lift, and it handled both without feeling out of place in either. The setback stance made floating through the deep stuff feel almost effortless."
A board built to raise the benchmark has to perform across the whole mountain, and the Never Summer Benchmark Snowboard does exactly that. Drop into an untouched bowl after a fresh storm, and Blower Stance Binding Inserts push your stance back for a surfier feel, letting the nose rise and the tail sink so powder turns feel weightless instead of like a fight against the snow.
That same board carves clean corduroy on the way back to the lift and still has enough playfulness left for a park hit or two. Rocker Camber profile blends a surfy, forgiving feel with camber underfoot for real edge hold, while the Powersurf Wood Core keeps things light without sacrificing strength. Carbon Max laminate and STS pre-tensioned fiberglass add torsional stability at speed, and UHMW sidewalls with P-TEX protected tips keep the board intact through whatever terrain the day throws at it.

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.
