alan – all of my snowboards have a white base, and all of them BUT 1 have mild discoloration. The oldest one ismy k2 dart which has turned a pee yellow color, and im pretty sure this is because the board hasnt been ridden,let alone tuned, in 2 seasons, so its probably dried out.My recon also has a pure white base, which has turned beach sand yellow, because ive ridden through way toomuch dirty snow. now its so far into the grit of the base that its just a pain to get out. its more like dye than anythingreally, board still rides great, and its 3 or so years old.My manual is BRAND NEW for this season, and has turned brown in spots (kid ran me off a trail into some funk,also dirt discoloration, but a base cleaner took most of that out)And my last, for whatever reason, is still pure white, which is funny because its the one i ride the most.The color could be a number of

Hopefully its just dirty nastywhich is nothing and can come out if you really want it out.And that sticker blackness that is stuck on there comes off, with lots and lots of work. That stuff is the worst.
