If you’re looking for a women’s all mountain freestyle snowboard then the list below is a great place to start.
The boards below are what I consider to be the top 5 women’s all mountain freestyle boards for the 2020-21 season.
How they Were Chosen
As is tradition here at SnowboardingProfiles.com the each board has been given a rating out of 100.
I looked at a number of boards and of those boards are the following stats – just to give you some perspective on the scores in the top 5 below.
Since I don’t currently have a separate women’s aggressive all-mountain-freestyle list, I have included them in this category. One of which made the list (see #4 below).
OK so here’s the top 5!
WOMEN'S ALL-MOUNTAIN-FREESTYLE BOARD #5=
Board: Salomon Rumble Fish
Price: $499
Flex: Medium (5/10)
Rating: 86.0/100
Starting off our list in #5, is the Salomon Rumble Fish.
The Rumble Fish is a very versatile board that is equally at home on groomers or in the park. So, if you like to ride the whole resort and you have a variety in your style, the Rumble Fish is a great all-rounder that can help you to make the most of everyday in the resort.
And the changes for the 2021 model have made it a better board in powder now too, so even more versatile than it was.
Even though the total score below ends up being the same as last year, that's just a coincidence - randomly the scores increased in some areas and decreased in others, and it evened out to the same score, but just with some slightly different strengths and weaknesses.

WOMEN'S ALL-MOUNTAIN-FREESTYLE BOARD #5=
Board: Capita Paradise
Price: $419
Flex: Medium (5/10)
Rating: 86.0/100
The Capita Paradise is about as versatile as they come. It can really do everything – it’s even pretty good in powder compared to most all-mountain-freestyle rides – particularly so if you like to ride switch in powder.
Basically no weaknesses here, if you’re looking for that versatile board that can handle anything and everything well.
Plus, it’s the lowest priced board on this list – so if you’re on a budget but don’t want to sacrifice performance and everything else screams yes about this board, then you’re onto a winner here.

WOMEN'S ALL-MOUNTAIN-FREESTYLE BOARD #4
Board: Niche Nightshade
Price: $499
Flex: Medium (5.5/10)
Rating: 86.5/100
- HARD/ICY SNOW OPTION
And the #4 spot goes to the the Niche Nightshade.
The Nightshade is most aggressive in this list, and if I had a separate women's aggressive all-mountain-freestyle list that's where I would put this board. It's mostly camber, but just a little more forgiving than traditional camber.
But more importantly this board rips! It's awesome for carving and at speed, but then when you hit the jump line in the park or natural hits, it's even better there.
Not really one for powder and less suitable for jibbing than some others on this list, but apart from that it's a versatile and explosive, aggressive all-mountain-freestyle deck.

WOMEN'S ALL-MOUNTAIN-FREESTYLE BOARD #3
Board: Never Summer Women’s Proto Synthesis
Price: $539
Flex: Medium (5/10)
Rating: 86.5/100
At #3, we have the Women’s Proto Synthesis by Never Summer.
The Proto Synthesis is new this year and carries on where the Proto Type Two left off. It keeps the same core personality of the Type Two, but with some changes - the main one being a more camber dominant camber profile - that plus it's no longer asym as the 2020 model was. Some other smaller changes too.
Overall it keeps everything that was good about the Type Two but is a slightly more aggressive feeling ride - without being ultra-aggressive or anything.

WOMEN'S ALL-MOUNTAIN-FREESTYLE BOARD #2
Board: Lib Tech No.43
Price: $559
Flex: Medium (5/10)
Rating: 87.1/100
- HARD/ICY SNOW OPTION
In at #2 we have the Lib Tech No.43.
The No.43 is a great freestyle/park board, but also does well on the rest of the mountain - like a good all-mountain-freestyle board should.
A particularly good option if you often ride in hard/icy conditions and great if you like to also ride the pipe.

WOMEN'S ALL-MOUNTAIN-FREESTYLE BOARD #1
Board: GNU Ladies Choice
Price: $579
Flex: Medium (5/10)
Rating: 90.4/100
- HARD/ICY SNOW OPTION
And finally, in the #1 spot, we have the GNU Ladies Choice.
With the Proto Synthesis not retaining the asymmetry that it's predecessor (the Proto Type Two) had, the Ladies Choice is now the only board on this list to feature asymmetry, which can really help you to lock in those heel side carves/turns - and makes switch riding feel really natural.
A great option for more advanced park riders or intermediate and up all-mountain-freestyle riders. This board excels for jumps, spins and riding switch, but outside of that it's consistent across categories for a nice versatile and super fun ride.

Buying Past Season Models
Often models don't change that much from year to year so if you can find a past season model, it will likely be close enough to the latest model but you can get it cheaper, if available and in a suitable size for you. For past year's models check out the links below to see if they still have any left.
