The Almanac Snowboard blends playful flex with dialed control for riding the whole mountain
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying
"I was skeptical about sizing down 3 to 6 centimeters, but it completely changes how this board moves. It's quick edge to edge, easy to maneuver in tight spots, and still has plenty of float in powder. The Volume Shift design is the reason it works — you get the surface area of a longer board in a shorter package. I've been recommending it to anyone who wants a board that feels lively and fun without giving anything up."
Who It's For
Intermediate to Advanced All-Mountain Freestyle Riders:
The Almanac is for riders who want a board that feels nimble and playful without sacrificing versatility. The Volume Shift design means you size down 3 to 6 centimeters from your traditional length, giving you a board that's easier to throw around while still providing the float and stability of a longer ride. It suits riders who like to explore the whole mountain and want a board that keeps up with wherever the day takes them.
What It's For
Versatile All-Mountain Riding Across Powder, Park, and Groomers:
The Almanac is equally comfortable in soft snow, on groomed runs, and lapping park features — none of those settings is an afterthought. The Twin Combination Camber Profile gives it float in powder and response on hardpack, while the shorter Volume Shift sizing keeps it maneuverable in tighter terrain. It's the kind of board you grab on a variable day when you're not sure what the mountain is going to give you.
Why We Like It
Smart Sizing, Balanced Build, Genuine Fun:
What makes the Almanac interesting is the Volume Shift concept — riding shorter than traditional length gives you a more responsive, easier-to-control board without losing float or stability. The BAP Core keeps it light underfoot, Carbon Backbone™ adds pop and stiffness through the longitudinal axis, and the Sintered 4000 Stone Ground Base stays fast in any conditions. The medium flex (5/10) keeps it accessible and fun without feeling soft or washed out.

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.
