Ride
4.7
(11)
"It checks all those boxes."
"It’s an aggressive directional that can carve and it feels like a tank through the crud."
"It’s AMAZING. The edges bite the snow like a rabid dog."
"Ride Twinpig! It does literally everything you’re asking for."
"I love my Warpig."
"Great on groomers and in deep pow."
"It was originally a women’s board but it was such a great design."
"I just bought the Ride mtnpig 162 which is wide enough for my size ten boot."
"You might like the Ride Berserker though and it'll be a lot more versatile than the Stratos."
"I'd look at the Lib Tech Dynamo, K2 Passport, Ride Shadowban, YES Standard, Capita DOA."

"You are built for a Lib Tech Skunk Ape."
"Do it! You’ll thank me later."
"I absolutely love how it rides! Very nice medium stiffness that lets me do butters, boxes, small jumps, and go fast."
"Something from GNU or Lib Tech with magnetraction would probably be nice."
"I'd look at the Lib Tech Dynamo, K2 Passport, Ride Shadowban, YES Standard, Capita DOA."

Jones
4.5

"Nothing ever comes close to the hovercraft. That thing locks in on the lines and floats in the powder."
"It's the best board I've ever ridden, no questions asked."
"If money wasn’t a factor I would go for Jones Solution."
"Jones aviator 2.0"
"Take a look at the Jones Frontier, I think you would get along great with it."
"I(advanced/expert) got a Jones last year and it works well."
"Jones Aviator 2.0"

"K2 antidote all day. In my opinion it’s the best directional twin freeride board."
"All super solid choices"
"Check out brands like Rossignol or K2 for affordable options!"
"I'd look at the Lib Tech Dynamo, K2 Passport, Ride Shadowban, YES Standard, Capita DOA."
"K2 passport is pretty sick all mountain/freeride board."
"Honestly k2 hypnotist, or Salomon huck knife pro."

#5
Salomon
4.0
(7)
"Why not just get a Salomon Dancehaul? It's unisex and comes in like a 137 or 139 iirc."
"This isn't a all mountain board but the Salomon Huck Knife Pro does exceptionally well at carving."
"I ended up getting her the Salomon HuckKnife 125 last season. It’s rad!"
"If you can find a salomon sight for a good price, those boards are beginner friendly."
"Budget(300$) - Salomon Pulse - great pick and definitely a beginner to intermediate board."
"Lib tech t rice pro, Salomon assassin, niche aether, arbor element, capita indoor survival all come to mind."
"Don’t buy. Thats a 2021 salomon super 8, a freeride board thats way too advanced for a beginner."
