BEST CHEAP WOMEN'S FREESTYLE SNOWBOARD

Rome Heist snowboard 2024

Board: ROME HEIST

Price: $449

SnowboardingProfiles.com Freestyle Rating Score : 86.4/100

WOMEN'S FREESTYLE SNOWBOARDS CATEGORY STATS

Number of freestyle snowboards looked at:

21

Cheapest Board I Looked at:

$399

Average price of freestyle snowboards:

$469

Average Rating Score:

82.9/100

Why This Board Was Chosen

The reigning cheap freestyle board returns for another year, despite going up by $20 this year. 

The Rome Heist scored well enough to make my Top 5 Women’s Freestyle Snowboards list, which doesn't take price into account. The other 4 boards in the top 5 were all above the average price.

The Heist however is a good $20 cheaper than the average price, but scores well above the average score. 

Some other notable numbers: 

  • The average price for this category went up by just $3 compared to last year
  • Of the top half (top 10) of the 21 boards, the average price was $500.
  • The Heist was 5th= - and was $61 cheaper than the average price of the the top 10. 
  • Of the top 10, the Heist was the equal 2nd cheapest.
  • The average score for the 8 boards, not named the Heist, that cost $449 or less was 79.1.

23

Cheapest Board I Looked at:

$399

Average price of all-mtn-freestyle snowboards:

$518

Average Rating Score:

82.0/100

Why This Board Was Chosen

The Women's Basic takes this spot again this year. It is only $30 more than the lowest priced board we looked at in this category. But it's a good bit over the average score. 

And it's a good $89 cheaper than the average price in this category. 

Some other notable numbers: 

  • The average price for this category went up by $14 compared to last year
  • The average price for this category is $49 higher than the freestyle category (see above)

  • Of the 2 boards, not named the Women's Basic, costing $429 or less, the average score was 73.0.

BEST CHEAP WOMEN'S ALL-MOUNTAIN SNOWBOARD

Capita Paradise snowboard 2024

Board: CAPITA PARADISE

Price: $459

SnowboardingProfiles.com All-Mountain Rating Score : 84.3/100

WOMEN'S ALL-MOUNTAIN SNOWBOARDS CATEGORY STATS

Number of all-mountain snowboards looked at:

24

Cheapest Board I Looked at:

$349

Average price of all-mountain snowboards:

$494

Average Rating Score:

82.0/100

Why This Board Was Chosen

The Paradise also retains it's spot from last year. 

It has been a cheaper option of a good quality for years now. It made #10 in this year's Top 10 Women's All-Mountain snowboards list, which doesn't take price into account. 

The Paradise scores a good bit above the average score, but is $35 cheaper than the average price, so great value-for-money.   

Some other notable numbers: 

  • The average price for this category went up by $16 compared to last year.
  • The average price for this category is $24 lower than the all-mtn-freestyle category (see above) but $25 higher than the freestyle category (see first category in this list).  
  • The average price for the top half (top 12) was $542, making the Paradise $83 cheaper than those that scored in the top half of this list.
  • The Paradise was the lowest priced board in the Top 10 and Top 12.

BEST CHEAP WOMEN'S FREERIDE SNOWBOARD

Nidecker Odyssey snowboard 2024

Board: NIDECKER ODYSSEY

Price: $499

SnowboardingProfiles.com Freeride Rating Score : 84.4/100

WOMEN'S FREERIDE SNOWBOARD CATEGORY STATS

Number of freeride snowboards looked at:

22

Cheapest Board I Looked at:

$449

Average price of freeride snowboards:

$557

Average Rating Score:

83.0/100

Why This Board Was Chosen

The Odyssey was only $50 more than the cheapest option in this category, but got an above average score. 

A freeride board this price is hard to come by. Snowboards tend to cost more as they get stiffer, and whilst the Odyssey isn't extremely stiff or anything it's on the stiffer side of medium - and represents great value for those looking for a freeride board, but don't want to break the bank. 

Some other notable numbers: 

  • The average price for this category went up by $17 compared to last year.
  • The average price for this category is the highest of all categories - $39 higher than the next highest.  
  • The average price for the top half (top 11) was $593, making the Odyssey $94 cheaper than those that scored in the top half of this list.
  • The Odyssey was the 2nd lowest priced board in the Top 11.
  • Of the 6 boards costing $499 or less, not named the Odyssey, the average score was 78.1.

BEST CHEAP WOMEN'S BEGINNER SNOWBOARD

Nitro Lectra snowboard 2024

Board: NITRO LECTA

Price: $349

SnowboardingProfiles.com Beginner Rating Score : 94/100

WOMEN'S BEGINNER SNOWBOARD CATEGORY STATS

Number of beginner snowboards looked at:

32

Cheapest Board I Looked at:

$349

Average price of beginner snowboards:

$410

Average Rating Score:

87.4/100

Why This Board Was Chosen

The Lectra was the equal cheapest – and it was the highest that I rated of all beginner boards. Not to mention that it's $98 cheaper than the average price.  

Price is taken into account for the scores for beginner boards – so this is somewhat skewed in this category. 

Some other notable numbers: 

  • The average price for this category went up by $37 compared to last year.
  • The average price for this category is the lowest of all categories - $22 lower than the next lowest.  
  • The average price for the top half (top 16) was $408, making the Lectra $59 cheaper than those that scored in the top half of this list. The bottom half of the list had a higher average price than the top half though - because price in this case influenced the scores.

How the Boards were Chosen

The boards chosen above were not chosen 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.

Over to You

Thanks for reading and I hope that this page has been helpful to narrow down some options if you are looking for a well-priced snowboard of a reasonable quality.

      Hi Rachel

      The Lotus is well priced as a beginner board. It is in our top 10 beginner boards – which for the most part are all pretty well priced. At the end of the beginner section here I mentioned a couple of other’s then linked to that list. But yes, it is a well priced board and well suited as a beginner board.
