The Moderator Snowboard is a carbon-powered directional board built to charge groomers and powder
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying
"The Moderator means business. It's one of those boards that rewards you for riding with intention — the extra camber loads up and snaps through turns in a way that just feels powerful. I pushed it hard on groomed runs, and it never felt overwhelmed. Then I found some powder, and the tapered shape did exactly what it should. It's a serious board for riders who are ready to commit."
Who It's For
Advanced to Expert Riders Who Want a High-Performance All-Mountain Board:
The Moderator is built for experienced riders who are ready to push their riding on demanding terrain. The tapered directional shape and extra camber profile reward those with strong technique who want a board that matches their ambition on groomers, in powder, and everywhere in between. It's not a board that coddles — it responds to input and rewards precision.
What It's For
Groomers and Powder with an Aggressive, Directional Focus:
The Moderator is designed to perform at the higher end of all-mountain riding. Extra camber stores and releases energy for powerful, carved turns on hardpack, while the tapered directional shape helps it rise naturally in powder. The linear quadratic sidecut keeps edge transitions smooth and consistent, and the straight tip and tail profile cut cleanly through variable and challenging snow.
Why We Like It
Dual Carbon Reinforcement, a Fast Base, and Serious All-Mountain Credentials:
The Moderator's Performance™ Light Core gets meaningful reinforcement from both Carbon Array 3™ and Linear Carbon 5 — a combination that delivers a board that is light, stiff in the right places, and genuinely responsive at speed. The Sintered Stone Ground Base is fast and wax-retentive, which pays off on long groomer laps and powder traverses alike. Slim Walls keep the build durable without adding unnecessary weight, and Single Impact Plates protect where the board takes the most stress. FSC-certified and WEND-waxed throughout.

For The People
For RIDE, it's not about being the biggest . . . It's about being the best at what we do and truly becoming a great snowboard company "for the people."
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.
