Past Season Aggressive All-Mtn Snowboard Lists

AGGRESSIVE ALL-MOUNTAIN BOARD #6

Board: Arbor Wasteland Camber

Flex: Medium-Stiff (7.5/10)

Rating: 85.3/100

>>See Full Review

Starting off the list at #6, we have the Arbor Wasteland Camber. It's the biggest and baddest of Arbor's mountain twins and it's the kind of board where you just feel confident bombing it at any speed. 

Whilst it's a directional twin, it has a reference stance that's centered on effective edge, making this a great option for those that want to ride switch a lot as well. 

But mostly, this is a hard charging board for tearing up the mountain and could certainly take any amount of speed that I was able to throw at it, without the slightest hint of getting squirrelly.

AGGRESSIVE ALL-MOUNTAIN BOARD #5

Board: Jones Aviator 2.0

Flex: Stiff (8/10)

Rating: 85.3/100

>>See Full Review

Looking for something that's aggressive and damp, but somehow still quite snappy? Then the Aviator 2.0 might be your kind of board. 

You can drive this thing hard and what it loves most is speed and carving, but it's also great for jumps and the big bow of camber it possesses leads to oodles of pop. 

If you can handle this board, it returns performance in spades.

AGGRESSIVE ALL-MOUNTAIN BOARD #4

Board: Jones Ultra Mountain Twin

Flex: Stiff (7.5/10)

Rating: 85.9/100

>>See Full Review

The Ultra Mountain Twin isn't ultra-aggressive in terms of it's camber profile - there's a reasonable amount of rocker in the profile, compared to the others on this list.  

But there's still no mistaking it's aggressive nature. And that aggression comes from a rather stiff core. Noticeably stiffer and more aggressive than it's little brother, the Mountain Twin. 

You can really bomb the mountain on this board and it lays a mean carve. But it's also still pretty good in powder. So, if you're looking for a stiff, aggressive and light-weight ride but still want decent float in pow - the UMT might be a good bet for you.

AGGRESSIVE ALL-MOUNTAIN BOARD #3

Board: GNU Forest Bailey 4x4

Flex: Medium-Stiff (6.5/10)

Rating: 88.1/100

>>See Full Review

In at #3, we have the GNU 4x4.

New for 2023, the 4x4 is the brainchild of Forest Bailey. It's the softest flexing on this list - and with a just stiffer than medium flex, it's not super aggressive, when you don't want it to be. But the C3 camber and sidecut of this board help to make it aggressive when you want it to be. But something that you don't always have to charge to have fun on, when you want to get lazy. 

This jumping powerhouse of a board is on that cuff between all-mountain and aggressive all-mountain and just does everything well. But make no mistake that while it's not the most aggressive on this list, you can throw a lot at it and it won't cower away from it.

AGGRESSIVE ALL-MOUNTAIN BOARD #2

Board: Burton Custom X

Rating: 89.3/100

>>See Full Review

You want power, precision and speed? Then the Custom X should be on your radar.

Burton call this the most aggressive board in their line up (and I agree!) With a stiff flex and traditional camber profile there’ll be nothing too steep, too fast or too gnarly for this bad boy.

It’s certainly not the cheapest board on the market but if you've got the budget for it, you get a hard charging, take no prisoners beast of a board.

AGGRESSIVE ALL-MOUNTAIN BOARD #1

Board: Capita Mega Merc

Flex: Medium-Stiff (7.5/10)

Rating: 90.4/100

>>See Full Review

Like the Ultra Mountain Twin above, the Mega Merc is a great options for those who want decent powder performance (without going freeride and sacrificing switch). It's the equal best on this list in powder. 

But where the Mega Merc really shines is when you open it out. This thing is a beast and it can bomb with the best of them - and carve trenches. If riding aggressively, bombing and carving are your mainstays, then you should definitely have the Mega Merc on your shortlist. 

It's another one of those boards that you had better take control of, if you don't want to be the one taken for a ride! But when you do tame it, you get rewarded for it.

Board: Slash ATV

Flex: Medium-Stiff (7.5/10)

Rating: 91.0/100

>>See Full Review

And the #1 spot goes to the Slash ATV!

This board only knows one way down the mountain – hard and fast. But should you want to do hard and fast airborne or riding switch then the ATV has you covered for that too!

But it's hard and fast without being dead/planky - it's got some real liveliness/spring to it. 

It’s super responsive when you lay into it and drive it hard, it's stiff and it features a traditional camber profile with plenty of camber and plenty of pop.

This is all round just a killer deck and I had heaps of fun demoing it. It was one of those boards that I felt I didn’t have to get used to – it was awesome from the very first turn I made on it. And for something as aggressive as this, that's pretty impressive.

Board: Nitro Team Camber

Price: $499

Flex: Medium (6/10)

Rating: 83.1/100

>>See Full Review

Starting off the list in #6=, we have the Nitro Team Camber.

The Team is the softest flexing on this list - but it's still something you can ride really aggressively - and a big part of that is down to the full camber profile - and also it's not that soft either. 

Overall, the Team is a very well rounded board, that can really bomb when you want it to - but if you're someone who prefers more of a mid-flex to a stiffer flex, but still want a fairly aggressive ride, then the Team should be on your list.

Next up we have the Capita Supernova.

The Supernova is great at the things you really want out of an aggressive all-mountain board - speed and carving - but it's also quite versatile outside of that. 

It's the best equal in terms of riding powder, from this list, It's also the second softest flexing and the lowest equal priced option on this list. 

So, if you want something that's aggressive but want to still have a bit of versatility and want just a bit of a softer flex, and want to save some cash, this should definitely be on your radar.

Next is the Endeavor Alpha.

The Alpha is not something you'd want to go in powder more than just an inch or two (very short nose/tail and very subtle uplift nose and tail - the only redeeming feature powder-wise is that it's a little tapered). 

But for carving & speed, this is an absolute beast. It's not a do-it-all kind of board, but if you just really want to charge hard all day, then the Alpha has you covered for sure.

Coming in at #3, we have the Billy Goat. The Billy Goat is an awesome option for any hard charging rider.

You want a board that is going to handle on the steepest terrain? Then why not go with a goat! Fast, aggressive and balanced, this deck can handle whatever you throw at it.

Though there is some subtle rocker between the feet in the C3 camber profile on this board, it's barely noticeable. This is a camber dominant ride - and quite stiff too - not for the faint of heart - but if you want a board that can bomb and carve hard, and you're at an advanced level, it can take what you throw at it and will give it back in spades.

Rating: 84.8/100

The Explorer is the lowest priced board on this list, was the lowest of the 14 aggressive all mountain boards I looked at and goes for considerably less than the average price. 

It's the least aggressive - it's the kind of board that I debated whether to put in all-mountain, aggressive all-mountain or freeride. So, if you're looking for a good mix of all 3, this is a great option. 

It’s also the best on this list in powder.

It’s got more rocker in the shape than the other boards in this list. So if you want something with just that bit more forgiveness – but still a more aggressive ride than your average all mountain board, then this is the one on the list for you.

You can really bomb the mountain on this board and it lays a mean carve. But it's also still pretty good in powder. So, if you're looking for a stiff, aggressive and light-weight ride but still want good float in pow - the UMT might be a good bet for you.

Coming in at #4 is the Capita Mercury.

Like the Explorer (#6 above) the Mercury was a tough one as to whether I would classify it as an all-mountain or an aggressive-all-mountain. It’s the kind of board that you can get in and put in an aggressive carve on but then when you want to you can get more playful on it – and it’s something you can ride slow if you need to.

It’s also above average in terms of powder, compared to the rest on this list (only the Explorer was better) – so if you want something that’s also got a bit more float, but still want something aggressive, then this is again a good option.

I also found this board super light. That plus some really decent pop made this board a great one for jumps and for spins if that’s something you also want to use it for. It’s a very versatile snowboard – which is why I was tempted to put it in the all-mountain list rather then here.
