PTO Review
We know them. Here's how they stack up.
These snowboards span 2 categories (Freeride, Park). Scores reflect each snowboard's intended use — direct comparison across all dimensions may be misleading.
Artemis — intermediate and stronger women after a single directional board for groomers, chop, trees, side-country and soft-snow days, riding a set-back stance and an edge that holds at speed.. Disaster — park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses.. Check the radar chart below to see where each one wins.
Each row compares all boards on one dimension. 🏆 marks the highest score.
| Dimension | Artemis | Disaster |
|---|---|---|
| Carving | 7🏆 | 3 |
| Park | 2 | 10🏆 |
| Playfulness | 4 | 7🏆 |
| Forgiveness | 5 | 8🏆 |
| Stability | 7🏆 | 3 |
| Powder | 7🏆 | 2 |
Intermediate and stronger women after a single directional board for groomers, chop, trees, side-country and soft-snow days, riding a set-back stance and an edge that holds at speed. CAPiTA's weight table covers about 90 to 180 lb across 144 to 156 cm.
First-week beginners: CAPiTA puts its skill-level dot at 4 of 5, and one independent preview felt it firmer than the printed 5.5. Park, jib and switch-first riders, because the shape is directional, set back and tapered; CAPiTA's centered women's twin Birds of a Feather fits them better. Riders whose main job is deep powder, who should look at the Navigator's women's sizes and their deeper taper. Anyone needing a wide board or a length outside 144-156 cm. And riders who never wax, since HyperDrive is a sintered base.
Park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. Riders progressing into park for the first time. Street-style riders. Anyone who wants a dedicated soft-flex park tool.
All-mountain riders who need one board for everything. Speed seekers. Powder riders. Advanced riders who need pop for big kickers — the Disaster is built for small-to-medium features, not boosting 40-footers.
Artemis is best for intermediate and stronger women after a single directional board for groomers, chop, trees, side-country and soft-snow days, riding a set-back stance and an edge that holds at speed. Disaster is best for park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. The right choice depends on your terrain, ability, and riding style.
CAPiTA Artemis has the highest Stability score in this comparison at 7/10. That score compares composure; it does not by itself mean the product is the most versatile choice.
CAPiTA Artemis leads Carving in this comparison with a PTO score of 7/10.
Bataleon Disaster has the highest Forgiveness score here at 8/10. Forgiveness is one factor in progression, not a claim that every beginner should choose it.
