Dark Horse Snowboard - 2026

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I rode the Dark Horse through the park and out onto the groomers, and it surprised me with how much snap and response it delivers for the price. The camber profile kept me locked in on takeoffs and landings, and the carbon aramid boosters added just enough pop without feeling twitchy. It’s the kind of board that makes you want to keep lapping features all day."

Who It’s For

Progressing Intermediates to Advanced Freestyle Riders:

The Dark Horse is built for riders who are growing their freestyle skills and want a lively, budget-friendly board that doesn’t hold back. It’s ideal for riders who love jumps, jibs, and switch riding but also want a board that’s capable of handling groomers without feeling flimsy.

What It’s For

Park Riding and All-Resort Freestyle:

Dialed for park laps, side hits, and freestyle progression, the Dark Horse thrives in jump lines and rail sections but still keeps its edge on groomed runs. Its camber-focused profile adds stability for carving while staying playful enough to butter, press, and spin wherever you take it.

Why We Like It

Power, Pop, and Value in One Board:

We like the Dark Horse because it brings the DNA of a higher-end freestyle deck into a more approachable price point. The Dual Core and Special Blend fiberglass keep it light and durable, while the carbon aramid boosters add snap without punishing mistakes. The result is a true twin park board that feels solid on takeoffs, responsive on landings, and fun across the whole resort.
