THE SNOWBOARD GUIDE
2025/26 Season Picks
From hitting pro lines in the park, cruising the whole mountain, or crushing the steepest and deepest, we've narrowed down some of the best boards to make the most out of your day on the snow. Our dedicated team at Boyne Country Sports has selected our favorite boards for this year, and there is something to meet all of your demands. Here are the boards that we put through rigorous testing and have received our full-stoke badge of approval this season.
Freestyle Snowboards
Freestyle boards are perfect for boarders looking to unleash their creativity, whether you're shredding in the park or tackling new terrain features. Twin construction unlocks predictable switch riding and improved balance when hitting rails or throwing down big spins. Built with more durable materials, these boards are begging to be thrown at rails, boxes, and any other man-made objects that are calling your name. If you love riding park and see the mountain as one big playground, these freestyle boards were built for you.
Salomon Huck Knife
Quickly becoming the new standard for freestyle, the Huck Knife is a park destroyer. Packed with features to help you boost even higher and stomp the roughest of landings, this board is equally stable as it is playful. And if you don't want to be tied down to only the park, the Huck Knife is more than capable of taking on the entire mountain; it's no wonder it's become one of our favorites.
ALL MOUNTAIN SNOWBOARDS
Like to shred everything and never want to be tied down? Simple, get an all-mountain board and don't look back. The most dynamic and versatile collection of snowboards, these decks are predictable no matter where you take them. You'll find our favorite picks that include True Twin, Directional Twin, and Directional categories, each with their own unique feel and style, but one common thread--can equally perform at no matter time, place, or terrain.
Burton Custom
Enduring for a reason, the Burton Custom has helped define what an all-mountain board should be. You're just as likely to see this board flying in the terrain park as you are to see it ripping in the glades or a wide-open powder field. A directional twin shape opens up versatility for laps outside the park, and the top-shelf materials mean you'll never be lacking performance. It's always an epic ride that has us coming back for more every time.
FREERIDE SNOWBOARDS
If your idea of a good time equals hauling down the mountain at lightspeed and getting from Point A to Point B as fast as possible, freeride boards are for you. From directional boards to the occasional directional twin, these decks are for riders who like to follow the fall line with purpose. While they can slash and surf powder with the best of all mountain boards, you'll find more power and support as speeds increase. Go wild, explore everything off-trail, and do it without taking your foot off the pedal.
Lib Tech T.Rice Pro
The Lib Tech T.Rice Pro is your loyal companion for any mountain mission, whether it's deep-powder days, slashing through the trees, or hammering through crud when it hasn't snowed in a while. Evolved and, dare we say, perfected over the years, this board is Travis Rice's personal favorite for a reason. Perfectly balanced, it's playful and fun when you're cruising, but holds a powerful edge when you feel the urge to charge. Hand-built in the USA with a focus on eco-friendly materials, it’s a board you can feel good about riding, all day, everywhere.
