Below we have compiled what we believe to be the top all-mountain snowboards for the 2025-2026 season.
These boards have been selected using our all-mountain scoring system, which is weighted quite evenly between all factors. These are the boards that make the best "one-board-quiver" boards. The all rounders. The do-it-all, kinds of boards.
Each board has gone through extensive testing and analysis and you can see the details of each of those in the full review links in the description of each board below.
The boards are given a rating out of 100 for easier comparison. Price has not been considered in the ratings.

OK, let's have a look at the top 10 for 2026!
Note that this year we have reclassified some boards from our aggressive all-mountain category to this category (boards that we felt fit better here) . 4 of which appear in the list below.
#10=: CAPITA MERCURY
Flex: Mid-Stiff (6.5/10)
Feel: Stable and slightly on the aggressive side.
Rating: 87.3/100
Starting off the list at #10, we have Capita's Mercury. A stalwart for Capita for many years and for good reason. It just keeps delivering the goods. Consistent small improvements have seen this board keep up with snowboard development but retaining it's core personality.
Which is a board that is just on the aggressive side of things, so you can lean into this one more than your average all-mountain board, but it's still something that you can slow down and play around on to an extent.
The other part of it's personality that has stayed steady is its versatility - it's a great one-board-quiver (aka do-it-all) and daily driver option.

#10=: NEVER SUMMER TROOPER
Flex: Medium (5/10)
Feel: Stable, bordering on semi-loose. Slightly on the playful side.
RATING: 87.3/100
Picking up where the Snowtrooper left off, the Trooper has had some alterations from its predecessor. And those alterations proved, in our experience, to raise the quality of this board to a point it leapt into the top 10, having been on the outer when in its previous editions.
The Trooper still retains some of the more playful nature of the Snowtrooper, but not as playful and showed good improvements for carving, stability in rough snow and when getting air time.

#10=: LIB TECH TERRAIN WRECKER
Flex: Medium (5/10)
Feel: Semi-Loose, Semi-Playful.
rating: 87.3/100
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.

#10=: ROME WARDEN
Flex: Medium (5.5/10)
Feel: Stable and slightly on the mellow side.
rating: 87.3/100
This list doesn't take cost into account, so if you're looking for that bang-for-your-buck kind of deal, then the Warden is right up there, being the cheapest option on this list and being way cheaper than the average price for this category.
While it may not be super exciting, it is super consistent, versatile 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.

#9: GNU UPGRADE
Flex: Medium (5.5/10)
Feel: Stable, bordering on semi-loose. Just erring playful side.
rating: 88.6/100
GNU's all-new Upgrade takes our #9 spot this year.
It's a super versatile board that's a great option for those looking for that one-board-quiver with a slightly looser, more playful feel, but nothing that's super loose and something that can still handle a bit more of an aggressive input at times.

#8: ROME STALE CREWZER
Flex: Medium (6.5/10)
Feel: Semi Locked-In and Semi-Aggressive.
Smart rating score: 88.6/100
The Stale Crewzer is the first of 4 boards (see also #4, #3 and #1 below) to be reclassified into this category from the aggressive all-mountain category.
Naturally, given where its come from, it's of a more aggressive nature, but we decided not aggressive enough to be in the more niche aggressive all-mountain list.
This is a great option for those who are looking for a versatile board that favors a more aggressive input and can handle a more aggressive input, but something that won't be too taxing to ride for when you want to mellow things out and cruise.

#7: SLASH BRAINSTORM
Flex: Medium (5.5/10)
Feel: Stable and semi-playful.
rating: 88.6/100
At #7, 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.

#6: BATALEON GOLITATH PLUS/GOLIATH
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.
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.
The Goliath is a mellower version that has its slightly different strengths and weaknesses. We have included the score breakdowns and review links for both the Plus version and the regular Goliath below.

#5: 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 board 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.

#4: BURTON CUSTOM (CAMBER)
Flex: Medium (6.5/10)
Feel: Semi Locked-In and Semi-Aggressive.
rating: 89.8/100
In at #4, we have Burton's Custom, the second of the 4 boards coming over from the Aggressive All-Mountain category.
Like the Stale Crewzer above, the Custom is a board you can get more aggressive on and it can take it, but it has enough forgiveness to be chill when you want it to, making it something that you don't always have to ride aggressively to enjoy it.
Note that the Custom comes in both a camber version and a "Flying V" version. The Flying V is a noticeably different board, so just wanted to note it, so there was no confusion (the graphics look the same on both versions).

#3: GNU FOREST BAILEY 4 x 4
Flex: Medium (6.5/10)
Feel: Semi Locked-In and Semi-Aggressive.
rating: 91.0/100
*TOP TIER HARD/ICY SNOW OPTION
The next aggressive-all-mountain convert is the GNU Forest Bailey 4 x 4.
There's not much this board doesn't excel at and it has that uncanny ability to respond well to both an aggressive input and a lighter touch.
The only downside to this one is its lack of sizing options. Keep hoping they'll add more, but not yet, it seems. Here's hoping for the '27 lineup 🤞.

#2: 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
The YES Standard finally, after a long time, gives up it's #1 spot in this list. But it's likely still the best choice for a lot of riders, given its versatility and the sweet spot it occupies right in between aggressive and playful (in the sense it can do both, rather than its neither).
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 (see #5 above) 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.

#1: SLASH ATV
Flex: Medium (5.5/10)
Feel: Stable and semi-aggressive.
Smart rating score: 93.4/100
Finally, in the #1 spot, we have a newcomer for the first time in a number of years, overtaking the Standard.
Of course, the order of this list isn't as important as the suitability of each board to you, but the Slash ATV earns its place here, largely courtesy of just how sick this board is to carve on. And the fact that it achieves its carving prowess without being overly stiff and still with the ability to be more chill and cruisey, when you want it to be.
This is the least aggressive of those coming over from the aggressive all-mountain list and really was only there, because boards this good at carving are typically in that category.
But it's certainly not carving alone that gets the ATV into this position - it wouldn't score this highly if that was its only real exciting feature. It is super versatile across all the factors we test for and just a truly sick ride.
There is one aspect of the ATV that detracts from it and that is its availability. Unfortunately it is not widely available (as you can see from the limited links above) and tends to sell out fairly quickly.
