The Hello isn't lower than the average price, the only one in this list that isn't, but it's only $9 over, and it's way over in terms of score, and ranked 4th out of 19 for my Top 6 Women's All-mountain snowboards list.

Average price of freeride snowboards: | $502 | |

Why This Board Was Chosen
With a score a little over the average and priced $23 under the average, the Dream Catcher is great value for money.
Alternatives

WOMEN'S BEGINNER SNOWBOARD CATEGORY STATS |
Number of beginner snowboards looked at: | 31 | |
Cheapest Board I Looked at: | $299 | |
Average price of beginner snowboards: | $408 | |
Average Rating Score: | 87.4/100 | |
Why This Board Was Chosen
The Lectra was the cheapest equal board that I looked at – and it was the highest that I rated of all beginner boards. Not to mention that it's over $100 cheaper than the average price.
Price is taken into account for the scores for beginner boards – so this is somewhat skewed in this category.
Alternatives
Honorable mention to the Arbor Ethos ($319 | 93 points).
How the Boards were Chosen
The boards chosen above were not chosen just because they were the cheapest in their category, but because they were the best value for money.
This is a list of cheap snowboards so of course they had to be at a low price but the price-quality ratio was also an important consideration.
