Jones
4.6
(16)
"YES! Jones, Amplid(best carving/pow boards).Bataleon if you like 3BT. Stranda."
"On the 1-2 times I've gotten any kind of soft snow, my Jones Flagship has served me well."
"Got my mind expander into powder and trees for the first time today. It's incredible in deep snow."
"Jones mind expander"
"Go for a Jones board. I'm biased, I bought a Mountain Twin last week and rode it at Copper yesterday."
"My go to, for riding trees, is Jones Hovercraft. Haven't tried any of the other boards mentioned here though."
"I also have a Jones Mountain Twin which is more fun when I want to free ride on groom runs."
"Jones hovercraft. Powder shape but it's sneaky good."
"Love my flagship."
"I use a women's board, Jones airheart. Love it."

Burton

"I've been riding Burton Custom Smalls for years."
"For all mountain freestyle I'd recommend the Feelgood."
"My experience is with a 2013 Burton Clash, which is definitely a beginner board."
"Shorter size hometown hero if you wanna look at Burton."
"I definitely prefer my Burton Big Gulp for the trees though."
"This is what the Burton Fish was made for."
"I ride a Burton Deep Thinker 157, although I don’t do park so the Free Thinker (twin version) might be more your thing."
"Burton hometown hero 160."
"I'd recommend the shadow ban because for only 20 days riding."
"The shadowban and Custom are both fine options."

K2
4.5
(13)
"The Excavator is now my daily driver. Excels on groomers and pow, yet there is no place it can’t go."
"+1 for excavator. My favorite board out of the 6 I own."
"Not the comment OP but have to hijack anytime I see an excavator post. Super fun board in all conditions."
"K2 excavator 154 is a powder and volume shifted version of the alchemist."
"K2 Excavator is a great carving board."
"I ride a 2023 K2 Instrument which I far prefer over my previous Burton Custom on Icecoast conditions."
"Yes, but definitely check out the K2 excavator"
"Recently picked up the K2 Excavator and this is a good way to describe the board."
"I'm using a K2 Excavator for exactly this type of riding, only downside is the short tail can wash out on landings a little bit."
"Here is a generic one: K2 Dreamsicle snowboard"

(10)
"Korua Korua Korua"

"I’ve never felt more locked in than when I’m on any of my Korua boards."

Ride
4.1
(8)
"I ride a Ride Deep Fake. It’s an awesome board for steeps and landing cliff drops."
"Something volume shifted like the Ride pig boards work great for this, they float great on powder and the shorter length makes them super nimble through the trees."
"Look into the Ride TWINPIG 151. From other replies, it should be right up your alley."
"Ride also makes some really good all mountainers."
"I've owned and ridden Jones, Ride, and Yes and they're all top quality."
"Last season I bought the ride psychocandy and it might fit your needs."
"Ride makes boards with more size options, like the psycho candy and shadowban."
"Check out the ride psycho candy."

Lib Tech
4.4
(7)
"I got a lib tech double dip for this reason some years ago. It's way better in the trees than my old board was."
"I use the Wayfinder to do just that. It's a better version of the Orca."
"I'm a big gnu and libtech fan."
"Lib Rig"
"The MC Wayfinder by Lib is another good option."
"A bit pricey, but they are made for big dudes."
"They have a few wide boards for guys with your feet size."
#7

4.7
(6)
"Capita Aeronaut is very quick edge to edge and has surprisingly good float."

#8
Nitro
4.2
(6)
"I ride a Nitro Squash 163, and it would 100% do what you want it to do. Carves great, and is equally good in powder."
"Nitro Pantera is a stiff camber board that carves pretty great."
"I have been very pleased with the Pantera."
"I got a Nitro Squash (similar camber to the Pantera, a hair less stiff, very versatile all mountain design."

#9
Rome
4.2

#11
Stranda
4.2
(5)

"There’s also the Weston Backwoods and Stranda Treesurfer."
"Stranda biru!"
"Stranda Shorty."
#12
Thule
4.8
(4)

"I am pretty sure the larger thule boxes can fit four boards if you put them stacked."
"Thule is expensive but they definitely make good boxes that can easily fit 4 boards."
"I have a Thule pulse that does the job. With longer boards it can be a bit of proper placement game but 4 boards with bindings on, fit."

Never Summer

"Neversummer, Signal, Nitro, Capita, Elevated, Battaleon, Jones to name a few."
