The Go-Anywhere & Do-Anything Resort Board

Burton Custom Camber 2026 – Men’s

 

 

 

Burton FeelGood – Women’s

 

 

 

Our Rating: 4.47 / 5

Full Review: Burton Custom Review

Pros

• Extremely versatile resort board – This is a true “one-board quiver” that excels everywhere on the mountain, from groomers to the park.

• Stable and precise yet still easy to ride – A directional twin shape and carbon construction offer a powerful and responsive turning experience, but it’s still a very approachable, easy-to-ride camber board. (It’s a board that makes you a bit more confident underfoot. It’s powerful when you want it to be and laid-back when you need it to be.) 

• Outstanding pop – The traditional camber profile gives you an extra boost of pop for launching off jumps and side hits.

• High-end feel – This feels like a high-end, smooth-riding board. It has a damp feel that absorbs vibrations on rougher terrain.

• Noticeably fast – The Sintered WFO base is durable and provides excellent speed in all conditions. 

 

Cons

• Pricey – This board is on the pricier side compared to other all-mountain options.
  
  
• Not the most beginner-friendly – If you’re just learning to connect your turns, there are easier boards to learn on. This is meant more for the intermediate to advanced rider.
  
  
• Powder performance is okay, but you may want to get a powder-focused board if you get a lot of snowfall. 

 

Sizes Available:  150, 154, 154W, 156, 158, 158W, 162, 162W, 166W, 170W

Flex: Medium 5/10

Bindings to Pair With It: Burton Cartel X EST Snowboard Bindings

Probability of Selling Out Score: 85% – This is a best-selling board that almost always sells out by mid- to late-season. Over the past few years, we’ve seen that a popular graphic can make it disappear even faster, and based on the design for the ’26 season, we expect it to be sold out by late January 2026. So I recommend getting it sooner rather than later to ensure they have your size in this graphic. 

 

For 2026, the Burton Custom Camber ($669.95) is celebrating its 30th birthday as being the best-selling board in the Burton lineup. This makes the Custom Camber the most celebrated board on this list. For three entire decades, this snowboard has been selling out, returning the next year, and earning new tech feature upgrades year after year to ultimately become the versatile beast of a resort board that it is today.

Riders love the Burton Custom Camber because it is an exceptional snowboard for all mountain resort riding. It’s the type of all-mountain board that works well whether you are carving groomers, hitting features in the park, or taking runs through the trees. There just isn’t much this board can’t do, and that’s why it’s celebrating 30 years of production.

The main feature of the Burton Custom Camber is its traditional camber profile. This is what gives the board its turning power, its pop for launching off jumps, and its precise edge control. The camber profile in the Custom Camber gives this board a stable and responsive feel that inspires you to push yourself a little bit harder so you go faster and a little bit bigger. 

In other words, this is a resort board that makes you level up your riding. 

If you were looking at this board on its side, its profile would have a gentle upward arc in the middle that’s shaped like a lowercase ‘n’. (The highest point is between your bindings, and it is lifted off of the snow.) 

A traditional camber profile offers this board a better level of control and grip for carving. It feels more precise as you connect your turns. It also helps give this board an explosive-feeling pop for launching off jumps and side hits. The trade-off, though, is that it can be catchy, so it’s recommended more for someone who is already confident in their ability to carve. 

The Custom Camber features a directional twin shape (directional means there is a difference in the shape of the nose and tail of this snowboard). In this board’s case, the nose is slightly longer by 0.49 inches (or $12.5\text{mm}$) with your stance set back slightly from the center to place you more towards your tail. The longer nose improves carving power and helps the board float better in light powder, without noticeably compromising how the board rides switch.

The Custom Camber was built to last you. Burton gave this board its lightweight Super Fly II™ Core and 45° Carbon Highlights. The core and carbon configuration work well to absorb chatter while you ride while adding in some torsional (from toe to heel) stiffness for a more responsive ride.

To improve this board’s edge hold and carving precision, Burton gave the Custom Camber its Dualzone EGD technology. This means that there are wooden layers strategically laid horizontally underneath your toe and heelside edges. This gives the board a noticeably more responsive feel than many of the other boards on this list where the wooden stringers just run vertically through the core. The Dualzone EGD looks like this third layer in the diagram below. Notice how the wood is laid differently? 

The Custom Camber also features Burton’s Channel Mounting system, so you can fine-tune your stance with more precision than traditional inserts. You aren’t limited to just Burton’s bindings, either. This deck is compatible with any modern snowboard binding.

All in all, if you’re an intermediate-to-advanced rider looking for a high-performance resort board, the Burton Custom Camber is the time-tested choice.

Best All Mountain Snowboards for Hitting Jumps

Capita Defenders Of Awesome (the Doa) 2026

 

 

 

Our Rating: 4.5 / 5

Full Review: Capita DOA Review

Pros

• Pop – The carbon running through this board will launch you.
• Light
• “The go anywhere, do anything freestyle deck.”
• Perfect for intermediate and advanced riders

 

Cons

• Popular / often sold out and likely to see other snowboarders on the mountain with it.
• Flex – to keep this spring loaded for jumps, the center of the board is on the stiffer side. The nose and tail do flex beautifully. You just have to find that sweet spot.

 

What’s New for 2026: There were no technical performance updates added into the 2026 version of this snowboard. 

• New graphics in the 2026 version
• Last major upgrade was in the 2025 version – The Hybrid Holysheet™ fiberglass began to get interwoven with carbon booster rods. This made the 2025 lighter with a more precise feel (but it’s so difficult to notice the difference)

Sizes Available: 148, 150, 151 Wide, 152, 153 Wide, 154, 155 Wide, 156, 157 Wide, 158, 159 Wide, 160, 161 Wide, 162, 163 Wide, 164

 

Flex: Medium 5.5/10

Bindings to Pair With It: Union Force Bindings or Union Strata Bindings 

 

The CAPiTA Defenders Of Awesome Snowboard ($579.95), the DOA, is the most award winning deck in this list. This board has won the Good Wood award for seven years in a row. It is also the best selling board on Capita’s lineup, and a board that I own as part of my own collection. I currently ride the 151 Wide, and you can read my full in-depth Capita DOA review to learn how it feels to ride it.

The DOA is perfect for resort riders who want an all mountain deck that leans a bit more freestyle side to help them launch off jumps. This board has a hybrid profile shape that Capita calls “Resort V1 Profile Camber.

The hybrid profile of the Capita DOA looks like this.

This means that it is a powerful, responsive, and explosively poppy board that’s easier to steer than most other boards with the same shaped camber (lowercase ‘n’-shaped) arc between your feet. The Resort V1 profile gives you the benefits of having the power and pop of traditional camber between your feet with the more forgiving and playful feel of a rocker board in the tips. Altogether, it is an easier-to-ride camber board.

 

So What Makes It Great for Hitting Jumps?

The DOA has carbon fiber booster rods running through the length of the deck to help give it a springboard like pop. If you lean back to pop before you ollie, you can get this board to launch you even on flat ground.

Originally, I bought this deck because I wanted an all mountain deck that leaned more towards being a park board too. I am glad I did because the carbon boosters in this board don’t nterfere with its carving performance or how it feels to hit jib features with. It just gives you a little extra boost when you need it and does its best to stay out of the way when you don’t, and that’s the main highlight here. The DOA is an all mountain board with some snap to it.

Now, if it has been a few years since you’ve considered the DOA, take another look. Three seasons ago it was redesigned with a new wooden core specifically to make it feel lighter. in the 2026 version, Capita is keeping the new lightweight core. The new core is a blend of Poplar and Paulownia wood assembled in a way that makes the board retain its pop and durability while being incredibly lightweight.

So what else should you know about this snowboard?
It does lean more towards the freestyle side, but if you’re looking to butter or press this board, you do still need to put some effort into it. The carbon in this board let you press, but to really get a tall press, you have to put some extra muscle in. 

If you are looking for the best all mountain twin snowboard that will launch you into the air and give you that perfect stomp feeling, then this is the deck you want.

 

Probability of Selling Out Score: 70% – This is a board that sells out in popular sizes like 156-159 while you can usually find the smaller and widest sizes on sale in the off season for around 30% off.

The Best Budget-Friendly All Mountain Freestyle Board

Lib Tech dPr Snowboard 2026

 

 

 

 

Our Rating:  4.41 / 5

Full Review: Lib Tech dPr Review

Pros

• A lot of great board tech at a great price
• Excellent edge hold, especially on ice (Magne-Traction® is incredible)
• Playful and forgiving feel that’s great for learning butters and spins
• Versatile enough for all-mountain and park riding
• Lightweight and durable USA-made construction
• Fantastic value at its price point
• Durable and low-maintenance base

 

Cons

• The extruded TNT base is not the fastest on the market and is a bit slow in the flat sections.
• While it can handle some powder, I’d say it’s best under two-feet of powder. If you’ll be riding deeper snow, you might want a dedicated powder board.

Sizes Available: 152, 154, 156, 158, 159W, 160

Flex: Medium 6/10

Bindings to Pair With It: Bent Metal Transfer Bindings

From the moment I stood on the Lib Tech dPr ($499.99), I noticed that it stood out for 2026 as a versatile budget-friendly board that had everything us East Coast riders need. It can power through ice thanks to its serrated Magne-Traction edges while also being fully capable and ready for the occasional powder day thanks to its directional shape.

For less than $500, it’s a near perfect all-mountain freestyle board with a ton of helpful board tech to help you improve you riding while not dipping too hard into your budget. 

The “dPr” stands for “Developmental Project Realized.” This board was designed for the intermediate rider who is looking for a single board that can handle the entire resort exceptionally well. While the dPr does feature a directional twin shape, it’s also perfect for riding switch. The directional nature comes from the stance being set back by half an inch (1.27 cm), which gives the board extra control, power through turns, and helps it float better than a normal twin board.

One of my favorite features of the dPr is its profile. This board features the Early Rise Camber profile. If you were to look at the board from the side, it would look like this. 

 

It’s basically a catch-free, more forgiving version of a traditional camber profile. It gives you the stability, power, and pop of camber, while the contact points are raised off the snow to give the board a more forgiving, cruisy, and playful ride. It’s the type of profile that helps you build confidence because you can carve aggressively with it, and if you make a mistake, you won’t catch an edge. It’s also really helpful for learning new spin tricks because if you land slightly off-axis, you can just ride away clean.

Graphic-wise, the board might not look like much in the image above, but if you look closely at the top sheet, Lib Tech added all sorts of fun, Easter egg-type little graphics. They have a raised texture that you can see noticeably on a bluebird day, but a product image online just doesn’t do it justice.

The only thing that left me wanting more with this board was its base. To keep the cost low, the base is quick but not the fastest base out there. I’d say it’s more than fast enough for the casual resort rider, but speed demons will likely want a higher-end base from the Lib Tech lineup.

Overall, I was very impressed with the dPr. It’s one board that can handle everything from park laps to icy groomers without breaking the bank. It’s rightfully earned its place on this list.

Best Do-it-all Board for Stability

Jones Mountain Twin 2026

 

 

 

Our Rating: 4.7 / 5

Full Review: Jones Mountain Twin Review

Pros

• One board that can do it all / One board with unmatched versatility.
• Damp / High End Smooth Feel 
• Directional Shape with spoon-like nose and tail helps it float in powder / gives it carving power
• Stance is centered (even though its nose is longer) so it rides like a freestyle twin
• Rides well switch
• Serrated edges to help it grip to ice
• Three-year warranty (two-year warranty with a one free year extension)
• Pre-Broken in – All Jones boards come with “Forever Flex.” A machine was used to mimic extreme riding.

 

Cons

• Flex rating will be too soft for a really aggressive rider
• Not the best board for rails
• Not the most beginner-friendly (Great for more advanced riders)

What’s New for 2026: For 2026, the Jones Mountain Twin was updated to be lighter with more pop and damper thanks to its upgraded core and new BComp Carbon stringers. 

• New Master Core: The core of the Mountain Twin was upgraded to the new Jones Master Core. This is a 50/50 blend of Paulownia and Poplar wood. This new 50/50 ratio makes the board lighter while retaining its durability.
  
  
• BComp Carbon and Flax Stringers Added: The board now includes BComp stringers, an eco-friendly composite made from flax. This adds pop, response, and durability while also smoothing at the ride with some extra dampening.

 

Sizes Available: 149, 151, 156 Wide, 157, 159 Wide, 160, 162 Wide, 163, 165 Wide, 168 Wide

Flex: Medium to Stiff 6/10

Bindings to Pair With It: Jones Mercury Bindings

The Jones Mountain Twin ($579.95) is the best-selling board of the Jones Snowboards lineup because it is one board that can do everything you need it to at the resort. It’s got a directional twin shape that means the nose is longer than the tail by 1 cm (.39 of an inch). The extra length of the nose is such a subtle difference, but it comes with a few key benefits when it pairs with a few of the other features of this board.

• It Gives It Resort Carving Power: The slightly shorter tail concentrates your weight towards the back half of your edge, which lets you drive through the end of your turn with more power and stability. When that’s combined with Jones’ High Traction Tech (the serrated edges they built into this deck), you stay locked into your turns in all types of conditions.
  
  

• It Helps It Float in Powder: The longer nose also pairs well with the spoon-like 3D Contour nose and tail that Jones added into this snowboard to channel snow around the tips rather than piling on top of it (which makes it incredibly difficult to steer). The longer, spoon-like nose acts similarly to a boat’s hull passing through water rather than trying to plow straight through it as a standard flat-based snowboard with the same specs would.

Here’s a pic that shows the curvature of the nose in the Jones Mountain Twin. It’s subtle, but this works so well to help the board float while also giving it easier turn initiation.

 

While this is a board that feels like a cheat code for carving all over the resort, it has some features that make it forgiving and help you in the park, too.

The Mountain Twin has a hybrid camber-rocker profile shape that looks like this.

The profile is designed with camber between your feet and then rocker outside of your bindings in the nose and tail. The benefit is that it gives the board its energetic, powerful feel and pop, all while still being forgiving and even playful. It’s a camber board that’s easier to ride, easy to butter with, and if you land a spin slightly off-axis, you can simply skirt it around and ride away.

The 2026 version is out and available for sale now. This version of the board received two upgrades that give it a damper and lighter feel. Its core is now 50/50 poplar and paulownia, with new BComp Carbon stringer reinforcements added. This gives the board a little extra pop and power while making it feel like a higher-end board with a damper, smoother feel.

Overall, the Mountain Twin feels very stable at both casual and high speeds. Its Traction Tech edges work exceptionally well to give this board an added level of grip when it’s icy out, too. If you’re looking for one board that can be your entire quiver, this would be the one to get.

Also, check out our in-depth Jones Mountain Twin Snowboard Review.

 

 

Pro Tip for Aggressive Carvers: If you’re looking for a stiffer board that you can charge faster and more aggressively with, check out the stiffer version of this board. It’s called the Jones Mountain Twin Pro.

Most Fun-to-Ride Powder Ready All Mountain Snowboard

Lib Tech T.Rice Orca Snowboard 2026

 

 

 

Our Rating: 4.75 / 5

Full Review: Lib Tech Orca Review

Pros

• Outstanding edge hold in all conditions – This board has Magne Traction (edges serrated like a steak knife). It will give you the perfect level of grip to carve in hard pack, ice, or powder.
• Turns well – The rocker hybrid profile will help you connect your turns.
• Volume shifted – You are able to size down by 3 to 6cm from your normal size. This board is wider than the average snowboard. This makes the board feel more agile to steer and get in the air while feeling stable to carve with.
• Lib Tech donates a portion of this snowboard’s sale to support the prevention of the extinction of the Salish Sea’s Killer Whales. The Orca is a solid snowboard that supports a great cause.

 

Cons

• Tail shape can cause some wash out in hardpack and not great for riding switch stance.
• You can feel slight vibrations at speed on harder snow.
• Popular – this has a risk of selling out and not always feeling like a unique board choice.

 

Sizes Available: 138, 144, 147, 150, 153, 156, 159, 162

Flex: Stiff 7/10

Bindings to Pair With It: The upgraded 2026 Union Falcor Bindings

 

The Lib Tech Travis Rice Orca ($699.99) is the most popular board on the Lib Tech line for a very specific reason: It is incredibly fun to ride in all types of conditions. I live in Pennsylvania and ride more ice than powder, and I still have my fun days on hill with this snowboard.

The Orca is a volume-shifted board. That means it runs shorter and wider than most snowboards that are the same length. The benefit to having a wider board is that you can ride this snowboard around 3cm to 6cm shorter than your usual deck. The shorter length makes this board more maneuverable while giving the board a more stable and in-control feel as you carve.

The Travis Rice Orca is built on the same C2X board profile. It looks like this when you look at it from the side.

This board profile is described as having reverse camber between the feet and camber in the nose and tail.

The Lib Tech Orca Snowboard has a 2.5 inch setback stance (6.35cm). This means you stand on this board 2.5 inches closer to the tail which gives the board a longer nose. The longer nose helps this board float better in deeper snow and offers some more power as you carve.

While the Orca’s strength is in the powder, I absolutely love this board as my resort cruiser in most conditions. It’s right at home on groomers, in slush, and the usual ice I get here on the East Coast.

The only thing I’d stay away from with this board is hitting rails that might have sharp burrs on them. The base is fast, but it is also a hair soft, so it’s easy to get a gouge from hitting an unmaintenanced park feature.

With that being said, it’s also one of the easiest snowboard bases to repair. It is all black and holds ptex well, so if you do get a deep scratch you can repair it.

If you are looking for a responsive board that can handle all conditions and float beautifully in powder, then you cannot go wrong with the Lib Tech Orca.

You can read our full review of the Lib Tech Orca to learn how this board performs in icy conditions.

 

Pro Tip: If you won’t mind having last year’s graphic, you can save 30% on this same board. It’s the same board tech-wise, just with the old graphic here.
