I’ve spent 27 years riding the icy slopes of the East Coast and six years working in a board shop. During that time, I have helped a lot of riders look for that one unicorn of a twin snowboard that really does everything they need it to. It’s stable enough to carve and hit jumps but still playful enough to butter and press into a rail when you need it to.
The problem is that most reviews you see online are written by guys who get to ride in perfect conditions every single time they go out. For the rest of us who don’t always get fresh snowfall, that is just not what we see when we go to our local hill. We need snowboards that can hold up in terrible conditions. We need a board that’s able to hold an edge on ice, won’t chatter our teeth out of our skulls when the terrain is frozen solid, and when all is said and done, we need these boards to make it easier for us to learn new tricks.
For 2026, I tested 28 different all-mountain freestyle boards to find the decks that actually handle the whole mountain while staying true to the freestyle fun of it all. I looked for the boards that feel just as good carving at high speeds as they do spinning off a side hit.
The six boards below are my favorites for the year, and I know you will be set with one of the decks on this list.

Board Rating Compared to Other Boards: The Burton Blossom earned a score that was -1.7% (-1.46 points) slightly below the average. - Price: $619.95
- Price Compared: 3% more expensive ($19.98) than the average all-mountain freestyle deck
The Burton Blossom is a true twin all-mountain freestyle snowboard that is known for its versatility. This is a board that has such a familiar feel to it for anyone who is used to riding camber all-mountain boards in the late 90s or early 2000s.
It’s got a camber profile between the feet, which offers enough response and pop to make this a beast of a snappy jump board with the middle-of-the-road flex to make it pressable enough to jib, too.
The Blossom has a higher-end feel to it. Its base has an extremely fast glide, and as you’re riding the board, you will notice that it has a damp, “charge through anything” type of feel to it. Additionally, it’s responsive, lightweight, and designed to be pre-broken in from the first day of riding it. The only downside with the Blossom is that it doesn’t come in any wide sizes. If that’s no issue, the Blossom is certainly a board you’ll want to consider.

The Jones Tweaker is hands down my favorite board in the Jones Snowboard Lineup. I think of it as the “more park-friendly Jones Mountain Twin.” The Tweaker has a twin shape with a centered stance and a camber dominant profile that offers it power for linking your turns and popping you off jumps.
A highlight for me with this board is how well it carves on the East Coast’s icy conditions. Jones added Traction Tech 2.0 (2 extra contact points for grip) into its edges, and the result is a board that feels stable underfoot and can grip to the roughest of conditions.
The Tweaker is also exceptional for park riding. The blunted nose and tail keep the board’s swing weight down, and I love that because I am working on landing my first frontside 720, and it’s making the extra 180 feel very possible. The Tweaker is also perfect for jibbing. The camber profile works to hug rails on boardslides, while the medium 5/10 flex pattern allows the board to still lock into a nose press without feeling like a lifeless, carve-less noodle. It’s a resort ripper and a park prizewinner all in one board.
Of all of the boards on this list, I found the Tweaker to be one of the most approachable yet in-control boards. It’s so stable and in control that it’s perfect for anyone looking to level up their riding.

- Price Compared: 33% more expensive (+$199.98) than the average all-mountain freestyle deck
When I first stood on the Super DOA, I was instantly impressed with how versatile this board was. I’ve always been a fan of the standard Capita DOA, and the Super DOA takes it to the next level. This board can hold an edge, it’s incredibly fast, it can lock into a nose press, and it will launch you off every type of jump.
I was worried this board would be too stiff and catchy for the way I like to ride, but that wasn’t the case at all. It’s actually very approachable and doesn’t feel that much stiffer or aggressive than the regular DOA. It just feels like a higher-quality, damper ride than the regular DOA.
The Super DOA has a very damp, stable feel to it. It’s equally as pressable as the regular DOA, just with a more in-control feel. It’s got a very deep sidecut that allows you to ride it aggressively, a base that just wants to charge, and enough pop to launch you over every jump’s knuckle.
If you’re looking for the pinnacle of all mountain freestyle boards, it’s the Capita Super DOA.

- Price: $599.95
- Price Compared: Is right at the average price for an All Mountain Freestyle deck at the moment, so it’s 0% more expensive (or all of 2 cents above average).
The Capita Spring Break Resort Twin has been my daily driver for the 2024 winter season. I’ve spent a lot of time on this board and loved every second of it.
For me, the Resort Twin’s highlight is that it is a pressable park board with a ton of pop for hitting jumps while still being a phenomenal board for carving all over the resort.
The Resort Twin has an incredibly stable feel to it with a level of grip that locks into turns like a knife cutting through an apple. This is because Capita added in an extra small contact point right between your feet that Capita calls its Deathgrip edge technology. This tech locks into carves without washing out and makes the Resort Twin one of the strongest carving performers on the list.
The Resort Twin is also a phenomenal board for park riding. It locks into presses on features and has carbon v-shaped boosters in the nose and tail that will launch you off any sized jump.
The only downside with the Resort Twin is that it can feel torsionally stiff (from toe to heel), making it more challenging to butter than some of the other boards on this list. The torsional stiffness is a characteristic of the v-shaped carbon boosters Capita added into the nose and tail. However, for what it lacks in its ability to butter easily, it’s the source of this board’s power and pop.
If you’re looking for a resort board that carves well and can also launch you off jumps in the park, check out the Spring Break Resort Twin.

- Price: $549.99
- Price Compared: 8% less expensive (-$49.98) than the average all-mountain freestyle deck
The Lib Tech Off Ramp was one of my favorite all-mountain freestyle boards to demo. This Off Ramp carves exceptionally well. It’s responsive and can make quick, abrupt turns with ease, and it offers a controlled feel with an incredible level edge hold thanks to its Magne Traction edges. The level of grip this board had was its true highlight for me. It made riding Stratton, VT’s icy east coast park, feel a little easier than some of the other boards on this list.
The overall flex of the board I would put at a seven out of ten, which provides a noticeable extra boost of pop for hitting jumps. The Off Ramp was also decent for jibbing. However, I wouldn’t say jibbing is this board’s highlight. It was just a bit too stiff to get really tall nose presses.
All around, the Lib Tech Off Ramp is excellent for East Coast resort riders looking for a board that is phenomenal for carving, can turn on a dime, offers plenty of grip on ice, and has enough pop to launch you into the sky.

- Board Rating Compared to Other Boards: The GNU Money earned a score that was -4.2% (-3.61 points) below the average. The detail to note is that this board is also $208 cheaper than average, so it offers a great value for its price.
- Price: $449.95
- Price Compared: 25% less expensive ($149.98 cheaper) than the average all-mountain freestyle deck
The GNU Money is a beginner friendly twin shaped all mountain freestyle board that radiates value for how much board you get. Right now, you can find this board for $360, and that’s around $250 cheaper than the average deck in this category.
The main summary of this board is that it has a very locked-in, precise feel thanks to its Magne Traction serrated edges. It presses easily and is great for hitting small to medium sized jumps. Overall, I’d say it’s great for a beginner looking for an all mountain carver and pressable park deck. However, if you are an experienced rider, you will find the pop and speed of its base to be a bit lacking.
