The 10 Best Women's Snowboards of 2024
By: Landon Harmon: Data Specialist | September 30, 2023
It’s that time of year when you need to start thinking about a new snowboard purchase. Whether it is your first board or fifth board, we have you covered with the best women’s snowboards of 2023. From Magne-Traction to Grip-Tech, Directional to Twin, or Camber to Rocker, dialing in the perfect options to cater to your riding style will complete the quiver and maximize your days on hill. Traditional camber provides you with the most stability with four main contact points and will be slightly less forgiving when you catch an edge. Rocker provides the most forgiving for slower speeds and playful turns, thanks to contact points that are lifted, preventing you from catching an edge but making it harder to hold an edge.
New This Year:
The 2024 roster of women's snowboards showcases a delightful trend towards fun, all-mountain shapes, encapsulating the spirit of versatility that's reigning supreme this year. The shift towards designs that promise an all-encompassing mountain experience signifies a celebration of the adventurous spirit of women riders. Whether it's carving through groomed runs, exploring off-piste terrains, or playful freestyling, the new lineup is designed to adapt and excel. The mantra 'Versatility is Queen' resonates through each board, ensuring riders don't just conquer the slopes, but do so with a blend of fun and finesse. This year's collection is about encouraging women riders to break free from the bounds of specific riding styles and explore the mountain in its entirety. The 2024 women's snowboards are not just about stepping up the performance but also about amplifying the joy and freedom that comes with every ride.
