The Best Intermediate Snowboards for Women: My Top 10

Last Updated: January 5, 2021 by Nate 111 Comments

Best Intermediate Snowboards for women

This is a list of what i consider to be the best intermediate snowboards for women for the 2020-21 season. 

These boards are chosen for being easy enough to ride for a high-end beginner/low end intermediate rider - but have just that little bit more performance than a typical beginner board to take you through to a more advanced level.

Each board is given a rating out of 100 for easier comparison.

Price has not been considered in the ratings.

Of the 33 different boards that I rated:

  • The average score was 83.9/100
  • The highest score was 94.6/100
  • The lowest score was 69.3/100
  • The average price was $414

O.k. let’s get into the top 10.

WOMEN'S INTERMEDIATE BOARD #10

Lib Tech Glider BTX 2021

Board: Lib Tech Glider

Price: View More Info and Current Prices Here

Flex: Medium-Soft (4/10)

Style of Board: Freestyle

Smart rating score: 89.1/100

Starting off the list in #10, we have the Lib Tech Glider. 

The Glider is a great board for those who are just past that very beginner stage and looking to progress. 

An even better option for those looking to get into riding freestyle in the future or who are already getting started in that direction. Or simply see themselves as a more casual, playful rider.

Board: YES Emoticon

The Emoticon is one of those boards that anyone from beginner to expert can ride. For the more advanced rider it takes on more of a freestyle focus. But as an beginner to intermediate rider is also a great board for progressing your everyday riding on. 

Also a great option for those that see hard/icy conditions often.

The Frenemy is a stable feeling, versatile all-mountain ride for those that like to do a bit of everything, everywhere - or who simply haven't figured out what style of riding they want to do yet. 

This is also a great option for those who ride hard/icy conditions often.

In at #5 we have Never Summer's Infinity, which is one of the most versatile on this list. 

If you've already developed an eclectic style of riding that takes you anywhere, doing a variety of things, or if you're still unsure of the type of riding you prefer - or if you simply want a board that will help you to progress your riding, the Infinity fits many scenarios.

Salomon Rumble Fish 2021

Board: Salomon Rumble Fish

Price: View More Info and Current Prices Here

Flex: Medium (5/10)

Style of Board: All-Mountain-Freestyle

Smart rating score: 92.6/100

The Rumblefish is more on the all-mountain end of all-mountain freestyle. It's centered and a directional-twin, but has more of an all-mountain feel to it. Great if you like to ride a lot of switch on the groomers or in powder, and like to throw in some freestyle here and there. Or just for simply progressing with your general riding to take it to the next level.

Board: Capita Paradise

Price: View More Info and Current Prices Here

Flex: Medium (5/10)

Style of Board: All-Mountain-Freestyle

Smart rating score: 93.7/100

In at number 3, we have the Capita Paradise. Probably the most versatile twin going around, if you like to ride over the whole mountain, but prefer to be centered on a twin board and would like the option to get freestyle on it, from time to time, then the Paradise is a great option. 

Or if you simply like to cruise the groomers and just want to get your riding smoother and progress to a more advanced level, then it's also a great option for that.

Price: View More Info and Current Prices Here

Flex: Medium (5/10)

Smart rating score: 94.2/100.

In at #2 is Burton's Feelgood Flying V. 

If you like the idea of a playful, freer/looser feeling ride, but still want high quality and the versatility of an all-mountain board, then the Feelgood Flying V might be the right choice for you.

Board: YES Hello

Price: View More Info and Current Prices Here

Flex: Medium-Soft (4.5/10)

Style of Board: All-Mountain

Smart rating score: 94.6/100

And in the #1 spot, we have the YES Hello. 

New from YES for 2021, the Hello is the baby sister of the Hel Yes. It's a little mellower and easy to ride versus the Hel Yes, but still a high quality deck that's easy to ride and very versatile. 

Ideal for those looking for a versatile ride that will be with them for years to come and progress with them. Also great for hard/icy snow conditions.

Over To You

So that's my list of the best intermediate snowboards for women for the 2020-21 season. 

The scores above have been derived taking 3 factors that I see as important to a beginner friendly board, and giving 50% of the score to that. The other 50% of the score goes to how well that board performs in it's given category (i.e. all-mountain, freestyle etc). 

Check out the links under each board for more info, prices and availability.
