Nidecker Escape vs Nidecker Gun
Snowboards comparison — 2026-2027 season
How they compare
Both boards are designed for all mountain and powder riding. 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 Nidecker Gun is noticeably stiffer at 7/10 versus the Nidecker Escape's 3/10, suiting more aggressive riding. At $499.95 vs $699.95 MSRP, the Nidecker Escape is the more budget-friendly option.

Nidecker Escape
Nidecker’s all-mountain Escape. Used supply is thinner than the Play or Sensor. Escape Plus and split listings are different buys; inspect the base and edges, and do not pay Escape money for a Play.
