K2 Almanac Snowboard 2025

THE FARMER SEES SNOW IN THE FORECAST.

REVIEWED BY: Garrett Finn

The Almanac is an all-mountain board built for those with a more creative approach to the mountain. Whether it's bulletproof groomers or knee-deep steeps, this playful board that takes on a shorter, wider, volume-shifted shape will get it done. A medium flex profile gives the board an energetic, effortless feel that loves weaving tight turns, slashing over knuckles, and popping off whatever natural features the mountain has to offer. Riders with a freestyle background will love the feel, it's a lot like a park board with an all-mountain shape. The wider shape and rocker profile in the nose makes it a top choice where the snow is deep and the refills keep coming. There are few boards I'd rather be blasting through the trees and getting face shots on. A lot of the most popular boards in this category tend to be stiff and aggressive, the Almanac's forgiving feel will make it feel quicker, poppier, and less demanding than those. It also makes it a more approachable option, so if you're not the strongest snowboarder, don't be afraid of this one. The Almanac is one of the most fun playful boards that will work everywhere on the mountain, so if you prioritize getting creative over hard-charging, this may be the board for you. 

Who is this board for? Riders of all skill levels who want a more playful board and want to get adventurous. 

Who isn't this board for? Fast, aggressive riders who want to push their speed all day and only care about stability.
