All Mountain Snowboards

• All mountain: This is the most versatile type of board, that is suitable for those who want to be able to ski all over the mountain – piste, park, and off-piste. All mountain boards are often characterised by both sides of the board being the same, and the binding is mounted further back on the board. For beginners and those who don't really know which board is best for them, all mountain boards are often the right choice.

• Freeride: Do you mostly snowboard on hilly terrain and off-piste? Then a freeride board is a good option. The board has a so-called “tapered” shape, which means that it is narrower and stiffer at the back. Freeride boards also often feature a rear-mounted binding which, together with the tapered rear section, gives you more stability and makes it easier to cut through snow at higher speeds.

• Freestyle: For a skilled snowboarder with good technique, who spends their days in the park, the freestyle board is a good choice. It is often a little shorter and has a twin-shape, so you can ride both forwards and backwards.

Choosing the right length of board is important to get the most out of your snowboarding. There is a rule of thumb that, if you place the board in front of you, it should reach somewhere between your neck and your eyes. The shorter the board, the easier it is to handle, while you get more stability on the slopes with a longer board.
