Top 10 Beginner Snowboards for Women 2024-2025

Last Updated: November 26, 2024 by Nate

Best Women's Beginner Snowbaords 2024-2025

The following beginner snowboards have been chosen to represent what we think are the best boards for starting your snowboarding journey on for the 2024-2025 season.

Whey were these particular boards chosen?

They have been specifically chosen for their ease of riding, particularly for ease of riding at slow speeds, while minimizing the chances of catching edges. 

This way you can hopefully start your snowboarding journey with more confidence and a solid foundation of good technique. Which you can later build on much more effectively than you would be able to had you developed a shaky foundation of crude technique, by riding a board too far above your ability level.

OK, that's enough preamble, let's have a look at the top 10 for 2025!

Starting off this year's list at #10 is the Burton Hideaway. 

The Hideaway is a more freeride oriented snowboard, so if you see powder in your future, this should feature on your short list. 

It's not going to be the easiest to learn to ride switch on, so if that's something you want to be doing from an early stage in your snowboarding progress, then going with something that's a little less directionally shaped might be a better bet. 

But the main thing for it to make this list is that it has the characteristics that will help you to progress you snowboarding with confidence. And the Hideaway has everything you'd want to get started - an easy turning, easy going ride that will help you learn good technique and build your confidence and has enough stability to get you one-footing off the chairlift effortlessly.

Next up we have the Burton Stylus. 

The Stylus is a super easy ride - one of those boards that will accelerate your progression – so if you’re looking to improve as quickly as possible and are happy with having to upgrade once you’ve upped your skill level and/or found your preferred style, then this is going to be a great choice.

Also great for anyone foreseeing a future riding freestyle/park. Or wants a fun, playful board for messing around with or beating up in the park in the future.

At #8 we have the Nidecker Elle. 

The Elle's friendly camber profile, coupled with it's mid-soft flex, make it easy to ride and helps you build confidence. And being nice and versatile means you can progress down whichever style of snowboarding you develop into. 

It's also the equal cheapest board on this list, so really budget friendly.

The Ride Heartbreaker comes in at #7.

It has a nice soft flex and is an easy, catch-free ride, just what you want for a beginner snowboard. 

It's maybe not the most versatile, being a more freestyle/park oriented board - but otherwise it's very beginner friendly - and if you think you're going to get into freestyle riding at some point, it's a great investment - something that you can learn your core skills on now - and then have as a park board for later.

Whilst not being that versatile when it comes to ability level (you’ll need to upgrade eventually), the K2 First Lite is very versatile when it comes to keeping your options open for the type of riding you will naturally flow towards. You can go anywhere and ride any style on this board.

But that’s not it’s real strength as a beginner board – it’s real strength lies in how easy it is to ride. It's catch free and confidence inspiring – so you can progress really fast on this board – and have a lot of fun in the process.

In at #5, we have Roxy's Dawn snowboard. It's another more freestyle focused deck. Great for those that simply want an easy riding board to progress quickly on or someone who sees freestyle in their future.

It's easy turning and confidence inducing - and is also the equal cheapest on this list (along with #8, #4 and #1).

The Ultraviolet is new for 2025, but essentially it carries on from where the Myth left off. It's a very similar board to that and just as suitable as a beginner board. 

And they dropped the price on it, so it's now an even better option, being more affordable.

The Ultraviolet is the kind of board you can progress super-fast on and one that should help you to build confidence.

The only downside is that it’s not that versatile. It’s a freestyle board, so if you plan on riding in the park, then this will be a great option to keep as your park board.

But even if you don’t plan riding the park, this is one of those boards that will just get you riding better, fast – just be willing to upgrade at some point, particularly if you get into more all-mountain/freeride type riding.

The YES Women's Basic takes care of the #3 position and is a great option for beginner snowboarders, particularly those who tend to see icy conditions fairly often. 

With it's ease of turns, coupled with a stable feel (particularly good for when you're one-footing off the lift), the Basic is a great board to progress on - and something that you won't have to upgrade from too quickly, either.

And finally we have Nitro's Lectra snowboard - our #1 board for 2024-2025 and the reigning champ from the last couple of years too.

This board has everything you want for your first board. It's easy to turn, easy to ride, maneuverable at slow speeds, forgiving and makes it really unlikely to catch an edge. That, plus it's really versatile, so it can take you into whatever style you naturally progress towards.

It's also the equal cheapest on this list, so you won't have to make as much of an investment getting your first board, compared to most other boards.
