We love stopping in here to check out the merch. I got boots here this year and what a difference! He was so helpful, got me the right size, picked out a boot that worked for me, and did a heat mold. I'm very happy.

This shop is fabulous! My interactions here always leave me feeling good. They treat my boards with care and answer any question I have. Their gear and sticker selection is vast and interesting. Fantastic staff and service!

★★★★★

Run and owned by core riders support your local snow and skate shop. They have a killer park setup in the winter and a dope mini in the summer. I always try and pop in if I’m close.

★★★★★

The staff here are great people and are extremely helpful. I bought a new set of boots and bindings and it turned out to be one of the best experiences ever. Highly recommend going here for anything board related.

DARKSIDE SNOWBOARDS

Darkside Snowboards opened its doors in Killington, Vermont in 1989, at a time when snowboarding was still finding its footing. Founded by Bill and Teeta Langlands, the shop embraced the sport’s raw energy and potential, even as much of the ski industry dismissed it with laughter. As snowboarding evolved—equipment improved, riders multiplied, and the culture took root—Darkside grew right alongside it. For nearly two decades, the original shop stood proudly at the top of Killington’s Access Road beside the Nightspot Outback. In 2006, the Langlands took the next step, moving down the road to build the flagship Darkside location that stands today. Riding that momentum, the brand expanded to Ludlow, Vermont, with the opening of Darkside Okemo, continuing its mission to fuel the progression of snowboarding.

OUR MISSION

At Darkside, our mission is to foster, nourish, and embrace our community through shared knowledge and passion for snowboarding. Rider owned, rider operated, and rider trusted since 1989.
