K2 Almanac vs K2 Passport
Snowboards comparison — 2026-2027 season
How they compare
Both target all mountain and powder and freeride terrain, while the K2 Almanac leans more freestyle. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature hybrid (camber/rocker) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile. The K2 Almanac targets advanced riders while the K2 Passport is aimed at expert riders. At $559.95 vs $599.95 MSRP, the K2 Almanac is the more budget-friendly option.

K2 Passport
K2’s directional all-mountain board with a growing used market. Collab or Brain Dead Passports are graphics, not a different ride — do not overpay for the print. Check the base and edges; a newer season is not automatically a step up in price.
