The 10 Best Women's Snowboards of 2022-2023

Hi, I’m Tommy from evo, here to talk about the snowboards we’re most excited about for 2023. These days it’s nearly impossible to go completely wrong with a snowboard choice, but there are definitely some you don’t want to miss out on. From versatile all-rounders to more purpose-built tools, these are the boards that are getting the most buzz from riders here at evo. Let’s dive into our picks for the Best Snowboards of 2023! We’re starting this list off with a banger, the K2 Passport. This is an aggressive freeride board made for all the best lines on your mountain. It’s fully directional, with traditional camber for carving on groomers and holding on in those gnarly chutes, but it’s mellowed out by rocker at the nose so it floats really well when you hit pow. The core is light and poppy—with a 5 year warranty—with carbon inside and the fastest base K2 makes. Our big mountain freeriders are hyped on this thing! Our next board is another great all-rounder. Marie-France Roy has been pushing the limits of women’s riding for years, so it’s no surprise that her pro-model - the Arbor Veda Camber - is so great. As you might expect from a pro-model board, this one is a bit on the aggressive side, with a directional shape and plenty of pop from a traditional camber profile. It’s on the eco-friendly train too, with mellow resins and recycled steel edges, so you’ll be helping save the planet while demolishing the mountain. This is an awesome looking board for advanced riders looking to up their freeride game. The Salomon Highpath is another solid all-mountain board. This one is stiff and responsive for getting the most out of what you put into it. It’s also a high-speed charger, designed with a slight taper for maximum float and edge-to-edge quickness. We included this board not only because it rides well, but because it’s also built sustainably. Salomon uses all sorts of eco-friendly and recycled materials here, from beans in the topsheet to bamboo veneers and less toxic resins. We’re all about being earth friendly, so Salomon’s new focus on sustainability is awesome to see. The Highpath is right up our alley! The Super D.O.A. is a true twin freestyle board with a medium stiff flex. It comes with Capita’s “Resort V1” rocker profile, which blends flat, cambered, and rocker sections for a predictable ride. This year the board has been upgraded with Capita’s super lightweight 3D Thermo-polymer SuperCore and a Moonshot Omni-Tune performance stone grind for blazing speed. This board is really smooth and really well-built. It’s a great choice for intermediate to expert snowboarders riding in-bounds The Jones Dream Weaver is pretty much the perfect women’s freeride board. Being a Jones, you know it’s been put through the ringer and tested in all types of conditions. From its shape to its flex and camber profile: the Dream Weaver is directional all the way. You can definitely ride it switch if you want, and a spoon shape along the base helps mellow it out for cruisey park laps. The Jones Dream Weaver inspires confidence wherever you ride. The Salomon Abstract has park riders super excited. It features an awesome graphic that puts you in the mood before you even strap in. This gender-neutral board has a soft flex for butters and presses, along with Royal Rubber sidewall sections that absorb chatter and smooth things out. That means the Abstract is super comfy to ride and easy to set up for tricks. It’s truly a masterpiece for park riders of every shape and size. There you have it: six snowboards we’re hyped to carry for the upcoming season. We also have in-depth reviews on each of these boards, so be sure to check the links below.
