Black Diamond Powerboards bring boarding on snow to a new level - motorised snow boarding both uphill as well as downhill.

Powered by a mid-mounted 200cc four stroke engine, the Powerboard can easily handle any snow covered terrain as well as deep powder. The standard machine travels at up to 18 miles per hour, and by shifting one’s body weight it is also possible to carve and maneuver the Powerboard.

Latest News - UK Snowboard Champion takes to the slopes with New 200cc Powerboard
Former UK Snowboard Champion, Elliot Neave, has thrown aside his snowboard in the Scottish Cairngorm mountains to launch the brand new stand on, engine and track driven snow sports machine, the Black Diamond Powerboard.
Elliot Neave, former UK Snowboarding Champion said, "When I heard about the Powerboard, I thought it was an opportunity too good to miss, and was keen to try it out, especially with the amount of snow we have in Scotland at the moment. The machine is easy to use and exceptionally versatile and it means you don’t even have to go to a ski slope or have to buy a lift pass. Any snow covered countryside opens the door to a whole lot of fun!"
Chris Hardy, managing director of Supatracks comments, "We are thrilled to launch the Powerboard to the UK market and today’s demonstration by Elliot has shown how dynamic the machine is on the slopes. Following eight years of development by Mattracks and the tremendous reception for the Powerboard in the USA, I strongly believe that the Powerboard has established a benchmark for the future in winter sports."
