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 2016-17 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.
- I looked at 24 different women’s all-mountain freestyle boards
- The average score was 79.8/100
- The highest score was 95.6/100 (see below)
- The lowest score was 70.0/100
- The average price was $493
O.k. let’s take a look at the top 5!
Women’s All Mountain Freestyle Board #5
Board: YES Emoticon
Price: $399
Flex: Medium-Soft
Rating: 84.4/100
The Yes Emoticons is a good all round board for riding switch, jumps and for jibbing. But it’s also got the ability to carve and take on the whole mountain – so you can ride freestyle wherever you want to go.
It’s the best jibber on the list, so if you like to incorporate a lap through the park to hit some jibs this might be a good choice for you.
The Emoticon is also the most affordable board on this list – so it’s a great choice for the budget conscious.

Women’s All Mountain Freestyle Board #4
Board: Roxy Torah Bright XC2 BTX
Price: $539
Flex: Medium
Rating: 85.6/100
And the number 4 spot goes to the Torah Bright (named of course after the Olympic Gold medalist Torah Bright).
Roxy’s Torah Bright is a board that you can chop and change between riding freestyle and laying down some hard carves. It’s the best carver on this list (along with the #1).
It’s also the perfect board to take into the pipe – which shouldn’t be a surprise given Torah’s strongest discipline in Snowboarding is the half-pipe. If you like to ride the pipe this board should be your number 1 choice on this list.

This video is for the 2015 model but it’s still relevant for the 2017 model. Once I find a newer video I’ll put it up.

Women’s All Mountain Freestyle Board #3
Board: Never Summer Onyx
Price: $469
Flex: Medium-Soft
Rating: 86.7/100
Our #3 board is the Never Summer Onyx.
If you want something that can really do it all then look no further. This board would rate well as a standalone freestyle board or a standalone all-mountain board. But it would be a waste in those categories as it’s so perfect in this one.
It’s one of the best jibbers on this list (and that’s no surprise as it’s also the softest flexing board on this list) so if you like to ride the park but also want a board that will enable you to ride freestyle everywhere else on the mountain then the Onyx is the ideal mix for that.

Women’s All Mountain Freestyle Board #2
Board: GNU Eco Choice by Jamie Anderson
Price: $579
Flex: Medium
Rating: 88.9/100
And in at #2 on the list, we have the GNU Eco Choice by Jamie Anderson.
If it’s got Jamie Anderson’s name on it it’s gotta be good right? In this case it definitely is. Modelled off the GNU Ladies Choice, the Eco Choice is just that little bit more eco friendly. Which is great. What’s also great is how this board rides.
With a true twin shape and asymmetrical side cut, this is the perfect switch rider and if you’re a lady who likes her jumps, then the Eco Choice will be your new best friend.

Women’s All Mountain Freestyle Board #1
Board: Never Summer Women’s Proto Type Two
Price: $499
Flex: Medium
Rating: 95.6/100
Finally, at #1, we have the Women’s Proto Type Two by Never Summer. This board is a new comer this season – and it’s straight away blown the competition out of the water.
Like the GNU Eco Choice at #2 above, the Proto Type Two has an assymmetrical side cut making it feel more natural on your heel edge – and making switch riding a joy. It’s also a jump machine like the Eco Choice.
Where the Ptoto Type Two wins out is that it’s a better carver and a faster board than the Eco Choice – and if you like to ride the pipe, then you’ve got the sweetest tool to do it on.
