2026 CAPiTA Pathfinder Snowboard
The 2026 CAPiTA Pathfinder is designed for riders who are learning, progressing, or just want a fun, forgiving twin to ride the whole resort. Built with a Park V2 camber profile and soft flex, it’s stable enough for early turns and jumps, yet loose and pressable for park laps and freestyle flow. The Dual Core™ keeps things light and durable, while Bitter End Deflection Tuning softens the contact points at the tip and tail to reduce edge-catching and make turn initiation smoother. Whether you're new to snowboarding or stepping into your first features, the Pathfinder is all about ease, control, and fun.

Beginner and intermediate riders who want a smooth, catch-free twin for learning, progression, and mellow freestyle laps.
