The Best All-Mountain Snowboards of 2024-2025

This Burton Stylus Flat Top Snowboard ($400) lets you steer the ship. This comfy board doesn’t whip you around. It’s a perfect entry-level design for folks working on their foundation of linking fluid turns, getting speedier laps on the blues, and learning how to ollie.

In part, we can thank the construction and sandwich of materials, including the wood core and Biax fiberglass laminate. The latter has a soft torsional flex that’s forgiving rather than snappy.

That symmetrical nose, tail, and overall shape provide a balanced feel, which lends itself to learning to ride switch. Catching an edge with this board isn’t easy to do, given the convex base hovers its metal edges above the snow and there’s a nonaggressive bevel.

The Stylus Flat Top Snowboard is a versatile board that can suit a wide range of riders. The price tag isn’t shabby, either.

The Arbor Element Camber ($500) does everything well — an impressive statement for such an affordably priced snowboard. Made from high-end materials and featuring Arbor’s light and fast Highland II core, the Element Camber is your key to the entire mountain.

Riders who gravitate toward the park will appreciate this board’s playful tendencies. Jibbing, hucking, and pressing are all well within the Element’s capabilities. When it comes time to zip down the groomers, the lightning-fast sintered base will have you flying past your buddies.

Because this board is a bit more flexible than others on this list, it’s relatively maneuverable and beginner-friendly. It chatters a bit at high speeds but ultimately finds a nice balance between speed and carving ability.

Beginners can view this board as the next step in their progression toward more aggressive riding, while advanced snowboarders may find it enjoyably playful and effortless to ride. The Element Camber also includes Arbor’s Grip-Tech tri-radial sidecut. For all mountain riders of all abilities seeking an unbeatable value, the Element Camber is the way to go.

Well established, the GNU Asym Ladies Choice C2X ($630) holds a sturdy edge and cuts chatter down boilerplate moguls and hard-as-nails groomers yet rips deep powder in the steeps.

This board handles wild variability like a pro. The twin-shaped design features a trademarked technology called Magne-Traction. The board’s edges are wavy instead of straight, increasing hold, especially on tough surfaces.

With an asymmetric design — meaning, there’s a deeper heelside sidecut — the shape helped balance transitions. We experienced zero wobbles in wide carves, on quick turns, or through ice chunks. It was secure on hard roller landings.

Albeit sturdy, the hybrid shape (called C2x) is still flexible and playful. The Ladies Choice has rocker between the feet, camber beneath the feet, and rocker on the ends. For increased control this season, we adjusted for lengthened camber and less rocker in the middle. And this board’s silhouette is really fun for charging moguls as well. Overall, this is a great choice for the intermediate to advanced rider.

Hands down, the Rome Women’s Ravine ($530) is one of the most fun and stable all-mountain boards on the market for ladies who like to drop steep descents and take speedy turns. With a tapered directional shape and a slight spoon-shaped nose, this board floats and lands super well through powder. But the Ravine also manages to chop through chunder, chop, and groomers: An ideal all-around queen for most days and conditions of the season.

The Ravine is anything but loose or whippy. In the tail, there are thin rods of carbon for targeted pop and rigidity — and we love popping ollies to catch air with this ride. The powerful carbon rods add power in each turn, making moguls and fast tree laps that much more stoke-worthy. While you could steer this board through the park, we found it really thrives on unpredictable snowpack, side hits, and cliff drops. It’s a plow yet is easy to direct and follows your lead.

With a flex that felt more like a 7 to us, this board provides stability yet is forgiving. Under the back foot, the camber grounds the board, while the rocker under the nose and the poppy core adds a taste of playfulness. There’s also a torsional flex that enhances the adaptable nature.

From pow slashes to choppy, steep slopes and chattery days, this board kept us amped to ride through any conditions — except pure ice. The versatile Ravine plows ahead like a boat yet remains nimble and maneuverable.

New for the 2024-2025 season, the Never Summer Nokhu ($690) sets the bar for a wide and stable all-mountain snowboard. The Nokhu is extremely versatile in all sorts of terrain — from leaving trenches on a fresh groomer to playful side hits, steep mountain riding, and even deep powder. This directional shape is meant for charging in the steeps, but an extra-wide, flat nose and tail provide great float in powder and enough real estate to land switch. Matched with a medium flex and damping, this board feels at home just about everywhere. 

What really sets this board apart from others is how wide it is compared to its length. Most boards dubbed “W” or wide start at a 26 cm waist width and are usually only offered in longer lengths. The regular 152 Nokhu has a waist width of 26.1 cm making it wider than most wide boards. Additionally, Never Summer offers a DF or drag-free version with a whopping waist width of 28.1 cm!

That’s one of the widest production snowboards available on the market — meaning even a size 12 or 13 snowboard boot should be able to lay trenches without dragging heels or toes. Our testers with a size 11 boot have often struggled to avoid dragging even on other “wide” snowboards. The Nokhu truly stands out as a properly wide board meant for big-footed riders. 

The versatility comes from the unique triple camber design, wide shape, and moderate-flex profile. The triple camber design is shaped like a W, with camber near the tip, tail, and center of the board with rocker in between. This design helps with edge hold and stability in chunder. However, we noticed that when straight-lining, it had a tendency to feel hooky, where the camber profile wanted to snag the snow and throw us off balance. This was avoided by keeping the board on edge as opposed to riding fully flat. 

Ultimately, the brand new Nokhu is an impressive board for its price point that thrives across various snow conditions while remaining fun, playful, and stable. The unique mountain goat top sheet graphic inspires one to get steep, while the board provides the tools to cruise, huck cliffs, and even take ‘er over ice. 

The Jones Women’s Flagship Snowboard ($700) is a stiff, powerful, freeride-focused board with a contoured base that provides effortless float and turn initiation as well as a solid board-to-snow connection.

Also known as the 3D contour or spoon 3.0 base, the surf-inspired trait means the edges in the nose and tail are beveled by 7 mm — a subtle adjustment that creates a spoon shape.

And the directional shape likewise allows quick turn initiation, even while accelerating down the steeps. And if this snowboard’s core was a music genre, it’d be heavy metal. The blend includes robust and light Paulownia wood plus bamboo stringers, all held together with a triple layer of relatively stiff fiberglass laminate.

For experts, this Women’s Flagship Snowboard reigns. Despite the setback stance and decent taper, it can still stomp tricks — and switch too. This board is the basis for Jones’ bestselling Solution splitboard, which is great for exploring the backcountry.

The Ride Warpig ($530) has been a favorite among powder-seeking all-mountain snowboarders for more than five seasons. Despite its setback stance and directional rocker profile, don’t be fooled — this board is not a pure powder specialist.

Instead, the Warpig thrives just about everywhere. From the park to the groomers, this eye-catching board is a quiver of one with an affinity for the deep stuff. We love that the Warpig has tons of flex without completely sacrificing stability at speed. To create this unique combination of strengths, Ride has outfitted this board with a tight sidecut and a super-wide waist width. The Warpig has no problem with short radius turns and snappy maneuverability in the trees.

Directional rockered powder boards are not usually known for their versatility, but the Warpig is an outstanding exception. If you’re the kind of rider who loves surf-style snowboarding but wants a board that will also perform well on the crunchier days, the Warpig is the one for you.

Due to its rockered profile, this board finds longer high-speed carves a bit more challenging. However, the plus side of this profile shows itself in soft snow and powder. The Warpig floats as well as just about any powder specialist. A tapered tail allows the beefy nose to rise up and glide over fresh snow with delightful ease.

We loved riding the Rossignol After Hours Snowboard ($600) through powder mounds and moguls: this design floats like a queen and whips tight corners like a dime. While the board might be oriented toward experienced riders, it also feels creative, playful, and even twin-like.

Rossignol built Marion Haerty’s pro model, the After Hours, to chase Freeride World Tour podiums. After all, the three-time champions know a bit about how boards operate.

This volume-shifted board has a shorter tail than nose but twin-stiffness, which made us feel more centered the entire time. We took it everywhere, including through trees, and enjoyed how quickly the shape steered.

Urethane strips help transfer energy to the sidewalls, absorbing turbulence and locking in those edges on icy terrain. And the broad nose of this big-mountain blade floats like a Cirque Du Soleil acrobat.

Tradeoffs? That short tail means landing isn’t as backed. Speed and straightaways aren’t where she excels. Switch is not our preference here. Overall, the After Hours Snowboard was simply built to leave fun marks all over the hill, excelling in a wide range of snow conditions and tight turns.

If we had to choose one board to rule them all, at least when it comes to softer and more forgiving builds, the Never Summer Infinity Snowboard ($590) would come darn close. This tried-and-true design delivers in tight trees laden with moguls, dropping cliffs, slicing through powder, on corduroy, and even on park laps.

Equal parts solid and surfy, one of our GearJunkie testers had this OG model in her quiver for more than a decade before it started to feel limp.

The lamination includes three narrow layers that are lightweight and absorb a moderate level of vibration while providing midlevel stability — but don’t squelch the vivacity of the board. It’s super fun to shred.

The core is more flexy between the feet, so pressing rollers and performing ollies is snappy and giddy. And we appreciate the integrated stretchy plastic stabilizers below the binding mount, which disperse vibration to help reduce foot fatigue for big days and fast laps.

Overall, the Infinity Snowboard is one of the best-made softer all-mountain snowboards on the market today.

The YES. Typo ($500) is an absolute killer in the park, but it rides well all over the mountain too. Though this deck is slightly stiffer than the YES beginner-friendly Basic, it’s still clearly on the softer end of the spectrum. Soft and snappy is the perfect recipe for enjoying the terrain park, and the Typo is your ticket to supreme freestyle delight.

YES. is well known for pioneering many innovative design ideas over the years, and many of these have been expressed on the Typo. Their CamRock profile combines the responsiveness of traditional camber with the floatiness of rocker. Additionally, UnderBite edges feature incuts beneath each binding to redistribute the rider’s weight and improve manageability and edge hold.

Though a beginner rider could probably learn to love this board, it leans a little more toward the intermediate or advanced crowd. The snappy nature of the Typo is an asset for hitting large jumps, but it also results in a noticeably squirrely ride that beginners just don’t need to deal with.

While technically a directional twin, the Typo is nearly a true twin, as the setback of the stance is minimal. Still, this minor detail does come in handy while floating through powder, even if that isn’t the primary purpose of this board.

If you’re looking for a pure powder surfer or a hard charger, you may want to look for something with a more aggressively directional shape. Overall, the Typo is a highly versatile freestyle snowboard.

The Women’s Weston Riva ($624) is an all-mountain design that tackles inconsistent snow conditions and excels at speed on the groomers. The board is marketed as a freeride snowboard with the ability to tackle terrain all over the mountain, and we agree.

With a stiffer, directional design, the Riva performs well through ungroomed snow but really craves high speed on hardpacked, chalked-up runs and corduroy.

With a majority wood core made of paulownia, the board isn’t heavy, and it does offer a bit of pop when it’s set up for it – but that spring doesn’t come easy like a more freestyle-oriented board.

The Riva strikes a balance between that traditional camber underfoot and at the very end of the board’s tail and nose the profile is rockered, so it slightly curves up and off the snow like an upside-down banana.

For ladies, the Rossignol Diva ($550) doesn’t mess around. This premium whip is an aggressive steer that offers high responsiveness, quick edge-to-edge transfer, and no room for butters. And we loved charging around on this shape.

Oriented towards gals with speed and cliff cravings and more experienced riders, the Diva won’t disappoint. The design handled well on moguls, steeps, choppy powder, crud, hardpack, and ice alike. The edge hold was excellent, and we didn’t get jostled while the board absorbed chunder well.

A true twin in the profile and the flex, this tool is stable anywhere you slice. You’ll notice the camber underfoot and on the periphery allows you to connect like a hound with the snow surface and drive. The tip and tail have an early rise but we didn’t notice it too much. It’s subtle.

We also found that the Diva is on the stiffer end of the spectrum — which is perfectly fine for us and our all-mountain rodeo outings on this board. If you’re looking for a strong snowboard for aggressive shredding, here’s your chance.

The women’s Jones Stratos ($630) is a core all-mountain board loaded with modern garnish. This ride is absolutely for a traditional shredder that aims to pierce anywhere on the hill and enjoys a highly tailored ride. You can take the Stratos through the trees, on moguls, and even backward while traversing hairy terrain. The Stratos shines best on big, sweeping carves on groomers and chalky slopes. The design also handles speed well and mutes the chatter.

First up, the design has a directional rocker, meaning there’s more tip rocker than in the tail, which all flanks the camber underfoot. The directional profile is coupled with a tapered shape, or silhouette, offering a slightly narrower tail that allows the back to sink a bit for optimal float.

One of our favorite features of this design is in-house Traction Tech 3.0, a proprietary serrated edge technology that increases the number of contact points with hard surfaces. We appreciated this gold smudge on ice patches and steep hardpack, especially midday or after a nice re-groom: That’s when this board is the strongest versus first thing in the morning. Specifically, there are three bumps per edge at the front binding, board center, and back binding with the central hump being slightly more protruded for an amplified hold.

Another detail we are stoked on: The 3D Contour Base 3.0. Meaning, Jones added a 7mm bevel to the nose and tail, which is like adding the curvature of a spoon to your board’s nose and backside. The result? Fantastic float and an easier charge through crust with less chance of catching an edge. That said, we found the Contour Base and the slightly rockered profile is likely why the board wasn’t a conquerer of straight ice the way we expected.

Ultimately, the women’s Stratos is a fairly stiff and directional choice that, rather than an amusement ride, is a sturdy all-mountain board for everyday powder, chop, or groomers. As a carver-oriented design, the board craves to be driven fast and forward.

The Women’s Ride Psychocandy ($520) is the ladies’ iteration of the popular men’s Warpig with a few differences in the mix. Namely, this design sports a more manageable flex and a waist width that suits smaller boots.

Also, there’s a broader variety of sizes for folks of all body types. And this is the greatest quantity of size options (six) offered by any women’s snowboard in our guide.

Front and center, the core mixes lightweight, strong Paulownia wood stringers with Aspen, which we dig. For extra protection, double-level impact plates are integrated into the board beneath each binding, too.

And the highest level of carbon stringers is added to that same zone for sensitive response. Indeed, this is a stalwart steed for advanced to expert snowboarders.

This Psychocandy for the gals is a volume-shifted shape, and this board is meant to be sized down from your typical decks. To verify the solid power transfer, pro rider Hana Beaman is known to get buck on this silhouette.

Built with beginners and moderate shredders in mind, the women’s Jones Dream Weaver ($500) is a stellar all-around design and investment that even more experienced riders will enjoy.

Though this board is directional — with a tapered directional shape as well as a directional rocker profile with an accentuated rocker in the nose — it almost feels like a twin, which we love. The Dream Weaver is so easy to stay balanced on, right in the middle of the board.

This women’s ship is easy to steer around moguls, fun to plow into powder fields, and traverses well. The flex, which is soft-to-moderate, allows a tad of pop. The board maneuvers smoothly through the trees and offers mid-level arced turns.

We’re also happy that the Dream Weaver holds an edge really well, with a nod toward the Traction Tech 2.0 that adds two extra contact points on each edge, like a serrated knife, to help bite hard snow. While the 3D Contour Base is integrated into this design, like on the Stratos, the degree is dialed back to a 2mm bevel in the nose and tail’s spoon shape, which is a balance we dig.

Indeed, the Dream loves to carve, on ice and across hardpack. Ultimately, the ladies’ Dream Weaver cuts out any guesswork with prime dependability. Plus, in person, we’ve hardly ever seen a graphic so vibrant and beautiful as the mountain landscape on this board’s current topsheet.

As a true twin, the Women’s Arbor Swoon Rocker ($550) supports your surf-style needs in both directions down the mountain. That’s mostly due to the extensive true rocker shape that gradually decreases toward either end of the board — and zero camber.

Yet, Arbor’s rocker — aka parabolic profile — also maintains contact points that are close enough to the snow in order to hit higher speeds, rail turns, and stomp landings.

The design also features a nifty sidecut called Grip Tech, which shifts the four primary ergonomic contact points from the rise of the tip and tail to either side of each binding. With a more central location, those spots offer more direct energy transfer to the snow for better turns, stability, and control.

Overall, the board feels snazzy with a nice pop yet balanced with the centered stance. The Arbor Swoon Rocker is a great maneuverable, all-around option for advanced and expert shredders.

For intermediate riders who like to dabble in all types of terrain, the Women’s YES. Hello ($500) fits the bill from the backside black diamonds to the long blue groomers. The hybrid camber-rocker design offers camber beneath the feet for solid ground connection, followed by a bit of rocker toward the tips and tail for a floaty feel in pow.

The core is poplar wood, which is durable and offers consistent flex for a predictable ride. This design also has a dip in the sidecut — dubbed the UnderBite — where the material pushes inward beneath the foot on both the heel and toe edge.

The result? Riders experience a more aggressive edge engagement while initiating a carve and through the arch of a turn, especially in hardpack. It also helps increase torsional flex of the YES. Hello by bringing the powder drive beneath the boots

Stale Sandbech is known as one of the best park and freestyle snowboarders of all time. His 10-year anniversary pro model board, the Rome Stale Crewzer ($550), lets you ride with his style underfoot. The new 2024-2025 model has been redesigned in a more directional shape, with a larger rounded nose and smaller rounded tail, delivering a more comfortable shape for all-mountain riding. 

While this board is a little more home in the park than in powder, it really shines when things get steep. That’s thanks to a unique fusion camber profile of rocker in the tip and tail — for extra float and smooth transitions — and a healthy amount of camber underfoot for railing carves or popping off jumps. Additionally, there are Flax Impact Plates underneath both feet which help absorb impacts so you can send it as big as Stale.

While a beginner could learn to love this board, especially with it being geared toward a do-everything design, we feel its best for intermediate or advanced riders. Its true performance comes out when things get fast and steep. 

Overall, the Stale Crewzer is a hard-charging, directional board aimed at handling a diverse range of snow conditions while balancing a playful yet precise feel. We found that it doesn’t hold up in powder like a true powder board, but it will still be plenty of fun charging around most days at the resort. 

Stranda is known for surf-inspired designs that carve — especially for their splitboards. The Stranda Biru ($690) rings to that note. With a volume-shifted design, this powder-oriented all-mountain board is for creative shredders rather than just another generic twin-tip.

Born and raised in Gothenburg, Sweden, Stranda Snowboards founder Mats Drougge started blueprinting surfy snowboards 2 decades ago, inspired by the ocean surf-emulated expression that was surfacing circa 1990, when he met surf legends Mike Doyle and Joe Cabell in Aspen, Colo.

The goal is to flow like water, which is visually reflected in the shifted volume and shapes of Stranda’s boards that officially hit the market in 2015. 

The brand specializes in the creation of directional snowboards and splitboards rather than freestyle or twins. 

We expected a stiffer board but were pleasantly surprised with the playfulness in the moderate flex. This is a directional board but the tail kick allows for safe switch landings, opening up more possibilities around the mountain.

Chatter in crud and at speed was noticeable but average for an all-mountain board with powder foremost in its sights. The softer flex profile is combined with a volume-shifted (toward the nose) design. However, that means that the Biru skews its skills more towards powder than trenching groomers, so it’s a solid fit for riders who get plenty of soft and deep days.

There are better options from Stranda and other brands if you’re mostly carving up the piste. But if you’re looking for a new super fun tool to whip around in a surfy way off-piste, don’t hesitate to consider the Stranda Biru.

Carving is just for snowboardcross. Jones reached back to its founder’s roots in snowboard racing to produce the Jones Freecarver 9000s ($630), which is a stiff, trench-digging carving machine designed for speed and maximum edge hold. The 9000 has a gradually tapered 9-meter turn radius built for massive GS turns arcing across the run. There’s also the Freecarver 6000 series which keeps a tighter 6-meter radius if you prefer shorter, snappier carving.

We felt secure committing to these big turns thanks to the Traction Tech edge and tip and tail detuning to avoid unexpected snags coming in and out of turns. The full camber profile also allows the effective edge to run nearly the full length of the board for maximum contact and control at high speeds.

This board is stiff and powerful but requires full commitment to turns to enjoy the big, high-speed turns the Freecarver 9000 was designed for. Relax and the board may drive you instead of the other way around.

While we thought the Freecarver 9000 was great at what it was built to do, it’s a niche board that only fits as part of a quiver for most recreational riders and doesn’t excel in playful powder riding. Still, if you can afford to own a specialty board, it’s a great way to get the most out of low-tide days when the groomers are the only thing worth riding.

The four lengths are part of Jones’ new unisex efforts, which no longer split boards into men’s and women’s categories and instead alter widths, dimensions, and flex patterns to fit a rider’s size and weight regardless of gender. For charging slopes and getting speedy on the snow, be sure to check out the Freecarver 9000s.

If you’ve heard anything about Utah-based WNDR Alpine, it’s probably that they make skis and boards using algae-derived oils in place of fossil fuel-derived plastics. Which is true. And very cool. But you need more than a good eco-story to sell as many boards and skis as WNDR has the past few years. And the unisex WNDR BelleAire ($699) aims to be the stable, directional, all-mountain daily driver snowboard that most riders are looking for.

Our initial impression before getting the BelleAire on snow was that it felt very light, almost fragile. But once on some resort chop, we gained confidence in this medium-stiff charger. We tried it in the full spectrum of resort conditions, and it proved to be an all-mountain board. It might not be your first choice if you’re a park rat, but it has enough pop for jibbing natural features. The early-rise nose and relatively stiff profile made it a capable pow-slasher. 

In theory, this is a medium-width board, but our larger-footed tester couldn’t really lay into groomer turns because of heel and toe overhang. Our smaller-footed riders had no trouble, but fair warning if you’re a bigger rider who wants to carve corduroy on low-tide days. Our other gripe was the sluggish factory tune which held the board back a bit until it was cleaned up.

Overall, we found the Fresh Prince of BelleAire to be a sturdy, dependable slasher in variable chop, strong in powder, and comfortable at speed on the groomers. While it’s not a playful spoon, the BelleAire is for charging anywhere, any day — and it’s not too stiff while living up to that name. This is not only one of the most eco-friendly boards ever made but is a solid contender for an all-mountain quiver to take over your foyer.

For intermediate to advanced snowboarders looking for a playful ride and well-balanced performance characteristics, Men’s Jones Mountain Twin ($550) is a fine choice. With a traditional camber-under-foot profile and medium flex, this board can carve on ice, play in the park, and float through powder in style.

When charging at speed, the Mountain Twin offers a damp yet responsive ride, likely due to the high-quality semi-stiff wood core. For a board that’s this capable at speed, we appreciate that it can be playful when called upon.

Beginner riders will likely find the Mountain Twin is just a bit too aggressive for practicing the fundamentals. Riders on both sides of the Mississippi can certainly enjoy this board, as it thrives on just about every snow type.

Butters and jibs are well within the wheelhouse of the Mountain Twin. The mild directionality isn’t an issue when riding switch. Depending on how you set up your stance, the Mountain Twin can be excellent for folks who like to lead with both feet. The Mountain Twin feels perfectly at home in the terrain park. If you enjoy a variety of riding styles but only want to own a single board, the Mountain Twin is the all-mountain snowboard for you.

For newer riders looking to develop skills and expand their riding across the whole mountain, the Burton Custom Flying V ($660) is a stellar progressive snowboard. The Flying V has been around for years, but its forgiving rockered profile and surfy feel just never get old.

Burton’s Frostbite edge technology is well known for its superior traction, especially on ice and hardpack. The latest edition of the Flying V is built with Burton’s “Infinite Ride” — an innovative process that involves a machine that “breaks in the board for you.”

We recommend the Flying V to riders looking to maximize fun and enjoy every turn. This is definitely not an aggressive or hard-charging snowboard — it will chatter vigorously at high speeds. Instead, this board enjoys a leisurely pace. Floating through deep pow and low-angle tress are its bread and butter.

The Flying V’s forgiving nature makes it ideal for beginner and progressing riders — especially those interested in exploring (and enjoying) the whole mountain. The Flying V is all about pure fun and ease of use. It’s got pop but not a crazy amount. It’s quite flexy, and engaging the nose or tail into a butter couldn’t be easier.
