This list is for those that like their snowboarding hard, fast and uncompromising.
I have compiled what I think are the best 6 aggressive all-mountain snowboards currently on the market. This list has been update for the 2019-20 season.
As is tradition here at SnowboardingProfiles.com, each board will receive a rating out of 100.
How these Boards Compared
See how the top 6 compared to the averages in the stats below.

O.k. let’s get into the top 6!
AGGRESSIVE ALL-MOUNTAIN BOARD #6
Board: Capita Supernova
Price: $499
Flex: Medium-Stiff (6.5/10)
Rating: 83.7/100
Starting off the list in #6, we have the Capita Supernova.
The Supernova is great at the things you really want out of an aggressive all-mountain board - speed and carving - but it's also quite versatile outside of that.
It's the best equal in terms of riding powder, from this list, It's also the softest flexing and the lowest priced option on this list.
So, if you want something that's aggressive but want to still have a bit of versatility and want just a bit of a softer flex, and want to save some cash, this should definitely be on your radar.
Score Breakdown for the Supernova
RATING | SCORE WEIGHTING | |
|---|---|---|
CARVING/TURNS | 4.0 | 20/25 |
SPEED | 4.0 | 16/20 |
JUMPS | 3.5 | 10.5/15 |
POWDER | 3.5 | 10.5/15 |
UNEVEN TERRAIN | 3.5 | 7/10 |
PIPE | 3.5 | 7/10 |
SWITCH | 3.5 | 3.5/5 |
TOTAL after normalizing | 83.7/100 |
AGGRESSIVE ALL-MOUNTAIN BOARD #5
Board: Endeavor Alpha
Price: $599
Flex: Stiff (8.5/10)
Rating: 84.3/100
Next is the Endeavor Alpha.
The Alpha is a new addition to the Endeavor line for 2020. Not something you'd want to go in powder more than just an inch or two (very short nose/tail and very subtle uplift nose and tail - the only redeeming feature powder-wise is that it's a little tapered).
But for carving & speed, this is an absolute beast. It's not a do-it-all kind of board, but if you just really want to charge hard all day, then this beast has you covered for sure.

CARVING/TURNS | 5.0 | 25/25 |

AGGRESSIVE ALL-MOUNTAIN BOARD #4
Board: Jones Ultra Mountain Twin
Price: $599
Flex: Stiff (8/10)
Rating: 84.8/100
The second Jones offering in this list, the Ultra Mountain Twin isn't ultra-aggressive in terms of it's camber profile - there's reasonable amount of rocker in the profile, compared to the others on this list.
But there's still no mistaking it's aggressive nature. And that aggression comes from a rather stiff core. Noticeably stiffer and more aggressive than it's little brother, the Mountain Twin.
You can really bomb the mountain on this board and it lays a mean carve. But it's also still pretty good in powder. So, if you're looking for a stiff, aggressive and light-weight ride but still want decent float in pow - the UMT might be a good bet for you.
Score Breakdown for the Ultra Mountain Twin
RATING | SCORE WEIGHTING | |
|---|---|---|
CARVING/TURNS | 4.0 | 20/25 |

PIPE | 3.5 | 7/10 |
SWITCH | 3.5 | 3.5/5 |

AGGRESSIVE ALL-MOUNTAIN BOARD #3
Board: GNU Billy Goat
Price: $599
Flex: Medium-Stiff (7.5/10)
Rating: 86.5/100
Coming in at #3, we have the Billy Goat. The Billy Goat is an awesome option for any hard charging rider.
You want a board that is going to handle on the steepest terrain? Then why not go with a goat! Fast, aggressive and balanced, this deck can handle whatever you throw at it.
Though there is some subtle rocker between the feet in the C3 camber profile on this board, it's barely noticeable. This is a camber dominant ride - and quite stiff too - not for the faint of heart - but if you want a board that can bomb and carve hard, and you're at an advanced level, it can take what you throw at it and will give it back in spades.

AGGRESSIVE ALL-MOUNTAIN BOARD #2
Board: Burton Custom X
Price: $749
Flex: Stiff (9/10)
Rating: 87.1/100
You want power, precision and speed? Then the Custom X should be on your radar.
Burton call this the most aggressive board in their line up (and I agree!) and with a stiff flex, directional shape and a traditional camber profile there’ll be nothing too steep, too fast or too gnarly for this bad boy.
It’s not the cheapest board on the market but you get a lot for the price in terms of tech and toughness.

AGGRESSIVE ALL-MOUNTAIN BOARD #1
Board: Slash ATV
Price: $529
Flex: Medium-Stiff (7.5/10)
Rating: 91.6/100
And the #1 spot goes to the Slash ATV!
This board only knows one way down the mountain – hard and fast. But should you want to do hard and fast airborne or riding switch then the ATV has you covered for that too!
But it's hard and fast without being dead/planky - it's got some real liveliness/spring to it.
It’s got a directional twin shape – which is what helps to make it pretty decent at riding switch – but everything else about this board is super aggressive. It’s super responsive, stiff and features a traditional camber profile with plenty of camber and plenty of pop.
This is all round just a killer deck and I had heaps of fun demoing it. It was one of those boards that I felt I didn’t have to get used to – it was awesome from the very first turn I made on it.

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.
