It carries a board fine vertically. I do not know how you would do it horizontally.

The straps tuck away when not in use, it's tough to see from the photos but there is another buckle that will allow you to carry a snowboard vertically. And there is always horizontally for snowmobiling, the new version has reinforcements for this too.

According to the website, "The Targhee is the first winter backcountry-specific pack that integrated the board and ski carrying system directly into the pack suspension through a dual stay weight distribution design." So Gregory thinks it will carry a board, but I don't see how.

It might not, But it looks like the bottom strap could be used for it, and sewing a strap up higher is no big deal, i did it on my 32 L Avalung.It's hard to see in this image, but...if you look on the mid-top right of the image, there is a "female" side of a buckle tucked into the pack that you can pull out and use with the "male" buckle directly opposite...there's plenty of webbing to go around a board. So you have two attachment points to the pack: top and bottomthat is correct and the lower strap has a wider rubberized part that contacts the board, the upper strap also has rubber at that point. Backcountry magazine reviewed this pack last year and doing an image search will result in some pictures where they have snowshoes attached
