The following 10 boards have been selected as my picks for the top all mountain snowboards for the 2024/2025 season.
Each board is given a rating out of 100 for easier comparison. Price has not been considered in the ratings.
Of the 30 current model all-mountain snowboards that we tested:
O.k. let’s get into the top 10.
#10: ROSSIGNOL ONE

Board NAME: Rossignol One
Flex: Medium (6/10)
Feel: Stable and semi-aggressive
RATING: 85.5/100
*TOP TIER HARD/ICY SNOW OPTION
Starting off the list at #10, we have the Rossignol One. This is one of those boards that personifies do-it-all/one board quiver. Wherever you take it on the mountain, it doesn't let you down - and whatever style you want to ride, it obeys.
And it's particularly good at navigating hard/icy conditions - so if you get those a lot, this One should be on your Radar.

#9: CAPITA MERCURY

Board NAME: Capita Mercury
Flex: Medium-Stiff (6.5/10)
Feel: Stable and semi-aggressive
Rating: 86.1/100
At the other end of the scale from the Typo (see below), the Mercury is the most aggressive ride on this list (but still not aggressive enough to make our aggressive all-mountain list - so not ultra-aggressive by any means).
It's still something that you can slow down and play around on to an extent.
It's not the most buttery or jib friendly but the Mercury more than makes up for it with it's prowess for speed, carving and jumps - and pretty good in the deep stuff too.

#8: YES TYPO

Board: Yes Typo
Flex: Medium (4.5/10)
Feel: Stable but playful
rating: 87.3/100
*TOP TIER HARD/ICY SNOW OPTION
The Typo is the most playful/mellow option on this list. It's been the same for a long time, but it fills its spot very well and while it doesn't have the fanfare of some other boards on this list, it does what its made to do really well.
One of the best options going around, IMO, for those higher end beginner/low intermediate riders who are looking to progress and a beginner board can't take them any further. The Typo is an easy ride, but has enough performance to take you far into your progression.
But it's not just for intermediate riders. It's a great option if you're more advanced but just want a playful/casual ride. So, also makes a great quiver board for a more advanced rider who wants a casual boards for days riding with others who may not be at the same level or prefer to ride slower, easier terrain.
If you fit one of those descriptions and also tend to ride in icy conditions fairly regularly, then the Typo is even more suitable.
Whilst it's not the fastest board and is more of a slasher than a carver, it's nice and easy to ride, really quick edge-to-edge, butters super easy and can be taken anywhere on the mountain.

#7: ROME WARDEN

Board: ROME WARDEN
Flex: Medium (5.5/10)
Feel: STABLE AND VERY SLIGHTLY ON MELLOW SIDE
rating: 87.3/100
Some might be wondering how the Warden, essentially the dulled down version of the Stale Crewzer, made this list and the Stale Crewzer didn't. Legit question for sure!
Essentially the two boards are different enough in personality that the Stale Crewzer is in the aggressive all-mountain category and this is better suited for this category.
And as far as this category goes - do-it-all boards from mellow up to semi-aggressive - the Warden works really well. It's super versatile and just all-round doesn't have anything that I could fault it on.
While it may not be super exciting, it is super consistent and reliable and the kind of board that won't let you down in any scenario. Great option as a semi-mellow one-board-quiver, for an intermediate rider, or as a daily driver in a quiver.

#6: BATALEON GOLIATH

Board: Bataleon GOLIATH
Flex: Medium (5/10)
Feel: Stable and SEMI-PLAYFUL
Smart rating score: 88.6/100
Like the Typo above, the Goliath is a great option for those looking to progress beyond their beginner board. And also like the Typo it can work really well for more advanced riders wanting a more casual/playful board.
What differs with the Goliath, however, is that it has a more unique feel and personality. It's the kind of board that could excite even the most aloof riders out there.

#5: LIB TECH TERRAIN WRECKER

Board: Lib Tech Terrain Wrecker
Flex: Medium (5/10)
Feel: Semi-Loose, SEMI-PLAYFUL
rating: 88.6/100
The Terrain Wrecker is a snappy, energetic board, with great, easy pop that's really fun to rip in the park, on the groomers, through the trees and when things get deep.
It's centered along the effective edge, giving it a twin-ish kind of feel, but along the length of the board there is quite a bit of setback, off setting that twin feel with a more directional flavor, particularly useful for those powder days.
If you prefer a more playful all-mountain board, but one that is really versatile and can take you anywhere and do anything, the Terrain Wrecker should be high on your list.

#4: SLASH BRAINSTORM

Board NAME: Slash Brainstorm
Flex: Medium (5.5/10)
Feel: Stable but SEMI-playful
rating: 88.6/100
At #4, we have Slash's Brainstorm.
This board has the unique combination of being great for getting playful and slashing around while also being really well suited to powder, and at the same time rides switch really well.
And just across the board, there are no weaknesses with this board, whether you're cruising the groomers, getting in the trees, surfing the pow or hitting the park.

#3: BATALEON GOLITATH PLUS

Board: Bataleon Goliath Plus
Flex: Medium (6/10)
Feel: Stable and in between aggressive and playful
rating: 89.2/100
The Goliath Plus is a souped up version of Bataleon's Goliath (see #6 above).
Everything about the Goliath Plus was fun. There's nothing it doesn't do well. It strikes a beautiful balance between park, groomer and off groomer. A beautiful balance of being good when ridden fast and when ridden slow and all round just excels everywhere on the mountain and in any style you want.
It leans ever so slightly freestyle, but really it's a do-it-all, one board quiver that rips everything, everywhere.

#2: JONES MOUNTAIN TWIN

Board: Jones Mountain Twin
Flex: Medium (6/10)
Feel: Stable and in between aggressive and playful
rating: 89.2/100
The Mountain Twin is the most reliably consistent boards I've ever had the pleasure of riding. It moves from icy to powder to park as if it was nothing and without breaking a sweat.
It just feels super consistent at everything and everywhere - pretty much the definition of do-it-all. I feel like I know exactly how the Mountain Twin is going to be in every situation before I even get there and can rely on it to feel that way, which is massively confidence inspiring.

#1: YES STANDARD

Board: YES Standard
Flex: Medium (5.5/10)
Feel: Stable and in between aggressive and playful
Smart rating score: 91.6/100
*TOP TIER HARD/ICY SNOW OPTION
Finally, in the #1 spot, as its held for a number of years now, we have the YES Standard.
This board never fails to excite me and every time I ride it, I expect that it won't be able to live up to my memories of it - but it always does.
You can get aggressive on this board and lay down a decent carve but at the same time it’s also great for jumps, spins, riding switch and it's surprisingly buttery. And to top it all off, it rides well in powder too - particularly so, when you set your bindings up in the slam back inserts.
Whenever I ride this board, I feel confident and amped for everything I can throw at it whether there's powder or ice, whether I take it in the park, cruise or bomb the groomers, explore the trees or seek out what ever side-hit or drop I can find.
If the Mountain Twin is the Epitome of the do-it-all board and Mr Consistent, the Standard is the do-it-all definition with that undefinable x-factor.
