Of the 27 different all-mountain boards that I rated:

  • The average score was 80.9/100
  • The highest score was 92.1/100
  • The lowest score was 63.4/100
  • The average price was $490

All-Mountain Board #10

Ride Wild Life 2018Board: Ride Wild Life

Price: $429

Flex: Medium

Smart rating score: 82.9/100

The Ride Wild Life is almost feels like a freeride board – but a more easy going, playful version than your average freeride board.

It’s still definitely an all-mountain board, with the flex and versatility you would expect but it can also be a great choice for freeriding if you want something easier and more forgiving (and cheaper!).

I’ve also included the the Process Flying V’s score below. The Flying V version is different in that it has a hybrid rocker camber profile as opposed to the Process which has a traditional camber profile.

Also the Flying V version has a slightly softer flex. These things makes for some very different stronger and weaker areas as illustrated in the tables below. But both come out with a good score.

Which one you prefer would come down to what performance factors are more important to you. The Process is the more aggressive version and the Flying V is the more playful version.

Described as a YES Basic on steroids, the Typo just gives you a little bit more aggression and with a small setback stance and more rocker in the nose, it has a more directional feel to it.

But it can still handle jumps, jibs and riding switch with ease so it’s a great all-rounder.

Burton Trick Pony 2018Board: Burton Trick Pony

Smart rating score: 87.2/100

The 2016-17 Trick Pony was a changed ride from the 2015-16 version and the 2017-18 model has retained those changes. And, in the opinion of this humble snowboarder, the Trick Pony changed for the better.

What used to be playful flat-to-rocker deck is now almost all camber – but it has some flat spots towards the tip and tail.

But however they’ve done it, they’ve managed to make this board really un-catchy (if that’s a word!) – so it’s still super easy to switch into switch and retains that catch free feel – but is now more aggressive, faster, holds a carve better and has way more pop.

  • HARD/ICY SNOW OPTION

Now renamed the One LF (for “Light Frame”), the One from Rossi, coming in at number 6, sacrifices some Jibbing but more than makes up for it in other areas. 

So if you aren’t that interested in jibbing and are willing to sacrifice it for performance in carving up the mountain, anywhere on the mountain that you want to go, then this might be the board for you.

The One will also be awesome for anyone who often rides in hard and icy conditions – those Magtek edges really help to grip hard and icy snow.

And the number 5 board on the list, the Story, is from the niche snowboard company. It was good to see that the big boys aren’t the only one’s that can make great snowboards and its awesome to know there’s great competition out there to keep pushing snowboard technology further and further.

The Story is one heck of a board! The only reason you wouldn’t consider this board if you were into Jibbing in a big way.

For everything else this should definitely be an option and has no weakness outside of the jibbing (which it necessarily sacrifices to be stronger elsewhere). It is great in powder, speedy, excels on jumps and is a pipe superstar. It’s definitely on the more aggressive (partly down to being the stiffest flexing board on this list) rather than playful side of all-mountain riding.

There’s no-where on the mountain that the Story can’t conquer – the ultimate compliment for an all-mountain snowboard.

After the Ride Wild Life and next to the YES Typo (see #10 & #8 above) this is the least expensive board in the list. Yet it scores one of the highest.

This is a seriously high quality all-mountain machine ready to tear up the park, pipe, the groomers and the backcountry a-like.

Coming in at #2 is the Never Summer West.

Into it’s 3rd year of existence now (after replacing the Never Summer Cobra), the West is only getting better.

This is a board that performs across the board (with only jibbing being a slight weakness) and it just has that x-factor that I can’t describe – this board feels like magic on the feet and somehow manages that elusive quality of being able to perform across a large variety of conditions and can switch between laying down a hard carve and slowing down and slowing it down and playing around seamlessly.

Yes Standard 2018Board: YES Standard

Flex: Medium

Smart rating score: 92.1/100

  • HARD/ICY SNOW OPTION

The Standard has changed a bit over the last couple of seasons and it really has evolved to be the Standard by which all other all-mountain boards are measured against.

The 2015-16 model was a more aggressive-all-mountain board and then it changed into a great all-round deck capable to do whatever you want it to. The biggest change between those two models was that the reduction of the amount of camber in the profile in the 2017 model compared to the 2016 model, making it less aggressive – and maybe a little softer flexing too.

The 2018 model has evolved once more – and has become even better. The main changes from the 2017 model being some tweaks in the sidecut and effective edge and also creating a wider base.

You can still get really aggressive on this board and lay down a good carve but it’s also great for jumps, riding switch and riding in the powder.

The Snowtrooper is designed to be good at anything and to be able to ride anywhere and it doesn’t disappoint.

With a flex rating on the softer side of medium this is going to be awesome for anyone who likes a slightly more playful/casual ride. This is the softest flexing deck on this list and a great choice for the more casual all-mountain rider.

The Standard is a changed board this season. It was a more aggressive-all-mountain board in the 2015-16 model but it’s now just a great all-round deck capable to do whatever you want it to.

The biggest change is that there is now less camber in the profile than the 2016 model, making it less aggressive. But you can still charge a mean carve, stomp landings and ride at speed.

It’s still quite a medium-stiff ride so you can definitely still ride aggressively on it, but now it’s just overall a bit more cruisey compared to the 2016 model.
