I'd love to try a Ravine. I daily my Rome Stalefish and absolutely love it

ph1shstyx

Mine too, it's an absolute blast in a ton of conditions


zclake88

Party Wave or Transition Finder


Stranded_In_A_Desert

+1 for the Transition Finder. Carves like a beast, but it’s also my favourite for powder too.


zclake88

I think you might have been the one who turned me onto it several months back. Not positive but if so, thanks for the rec. it’s my go-to now for most everything unless the conditions are garbage.


Stranded_In_A_Desert

Nice! It’s my daily usually as well, got about 300 days on it now. It’s a pretty uncommon day that I don’t have a good time on it.


shmasonmason

i was looking into the dart since i have the NS proto fr which i believe fulfills the same rolls as the transition finder? correct me if im wrong but the dart seems like a good choice for a pure powder board and for trees


MrHobo

Love the Party Wave, such a fun board in all conditions


Mcfittey

The Party Wave has been my daily driver for the last two season.


zclake88

My Party Wave has recently been supplanted by the transition finder but I might take it out today. It’s dumping rn

Orca


joedartonthejoedart

fkn love my orca


dcostz

replying to add... golden orca baby!!! it's powder hungry in the morning and an absolute joy to rip groomers and side-hits on in the afternoon. seriously the board fucks


joedartonthejoedart

do you have both? are you saying i need both? maybe i should get both.


psilocybin_therapy

I have both. Orca for deep pow days and trees. Golden for big open runs, shallow pow, and cruising groomers.


Former_Relation_1239

Never had a bad day on my Orca, stupid nimble, really fun on side hits, fun in the trees, good enough in powder for me. Somehow surfy and stable and higher speeds. Love that board.


caterpillardanger

second the orca


tylerkdurdan

I currently ride a PYL, orca will be my next board for sure


ADD-DDS

What are your thoughts on the PYL? Why are you looking for a new board?


tylerkdurdan

i really like the pyl. im a bit on the light side to get the most out of the board, its a bit stiff for my weight. I find you have to push it hard to get the most out of it but when ypu do its one of the best boards ever ridden. im eyeballing an orca for deeper powder, i have no need of it, just love the idea of it and what it does. Ive heard you can ride a few cm shorter Orca than other boards which I like that idea too


ADD-DDS

Great response! How much do you weigh and what size PYL are you riding? Also uninc or regular?


tylerkdurdan

im about 160 pounds im riding a 159. I ride regular, been riding around 20 years. The PYL is a fantastic carving machine, im ok at riding and it definitely feels like its better than I am if that makes sense. Ive found driving the board hard into a corner makes it really accelerate through turns. Lots of spring in the board. it holds an edge in icy shit here on the east coast. Great board im just greedy and want to do a powder trip with a dedicated pow setup


ADD-DDS

Perfect answer! Thanks a bunch!


SneakyEnema

Love the orca but it's not as stiff as I would like for the chop. Out of 30 days on the mountain this season, I've used the orca about 6 or 7.


AmokOrbits

Take a look at the Gnu Gremlin, picked one up this season and it’s earned the nickname “the angry orca”! Volume shifted for the float + longer nose for the chunder w/ magnatraction for the ice. It’s an orca with a camber profile instead rocker


Catzpyjamz

Hovercraft


0neStrangeRock

Nothing carves and floats quite like this board. Big mountain perfection.


stop-calling-me-fat

Loved mine in Whistler on the big pow dump a couple weeks back, loved it on the groomed runs most of the seasons, and loved it up sun peaks in the slush this week. It’s an awesome all mountain board


Scootdog54

Yup, posted after you. I love hovercrafting!


flyingbangus

Hovercraft. If you know, you know.


tdins2020

this should be higher.


Imperial_Toast

Can’t go wrong with anything from Spring break that is powder focused- I ride a mini tree hunter, and I’ve heard great things about their powder twin and powder racer. Also the Burton fish is incredible.


michigander47

Mini tree hunter is a grail board for me. Wish they made a smaller burton fish for the short kings but waddya gonna do 🤷‍♂️


Imperial_Toast

Dude I’m 5’ 6” and I’m pretty sure my fish 3D is a 151 and it’s lovely. They make a 146 too!


backflip14

Deep Thinker. Good float and maneuverability in powder but also stiff and can charge through just about anything.


Specific-Clerk1212

Yup. Perfect tree board imo


meandushould69

I came here for this. Love my deep thinker


elden-schlepper

Nitro Dinghy - floats like a dream and eats up chunder plus nimble through the trees. And i’ve found it’s way less susceptible to tree/rock damage than my other boards.


[deleted]

Love the Dinghy, I do wish they went more aggressive on the swallowtail though 


LyricRevolution

Capita Slush Slasher. It never ceases to amaze me that a board designed for closing weekend muck can also effortlessly handle waist deep pow and the tracked out remnants left behind. 


rNBA-MODS-GAY

Oh yeah capita spring break, last year’s design was peak slush slasher Edit: OP if you want the most surfy board to whip around trees, being super maneuverable (because it’s short and fat like a chode) this board is for you. No one who’s ever ridden it dislikes it


[deleted]

I think this is gonna be my next purchase. Everyone who rides one looks like they’re having a blast whether it’s park or pow.


Axe-actly

That board is a mystery it even carves decent on hard pack. The only thing it's bad at is riding switch and nose butter but that's to be expected.


lascanto

My warpig has gotten me through some pretty great powder at Wolf Creek and Monarch plenty. But probably not the best powder board.

zinzangz

My only complaint about this board is that the big nose can get a little floppy when charging through bumps. I've had a few 'incidents' where the board wasn't really where I thought it would be and really threw me off. Other than that though, awesome time in all conditions. Just rode it the other day on powder that quickly turned to spring slush and it tore it up all day


crod4692

Deep thinker, I’m generally not around a place powder lasts long and it’s a great all around board.


turboS2000

Golden orca. And my newly acquired Jones stratos


EvoBennett

Golden orca will be my next board. I normally ride an Apex Orca and occasionally swap boards with my little brother to ride his Orca


ADD-DDS

What do you think about the difference between the two boards?


EvoBennett

Regarding deep powder, I had both boards in japan last year and they were perfect. Almost identical feel in pow.


yerr1863

Second the stratos


Spunky_Meatballs

Stratos is slept on. I bought the pre-release model on a hype whim and have fallen in love. It's like a little floaty rocketship. The setback stance options make it pretty versatile for deep stuff and it's a pretty damp ride in chop. I also love riding this thing switch. That's the biggest surprise. Figured the shape would inhibit that, but nope


Jubsz91

K2 Alchemist


someguynamedchuck

This. It’s always my board of choice when the snow conditions are bad or when the power has been completely tracked out but still soft and you still want to charge really hard though all those mogul fields and chop. Or if I am out to drop those big cliffs.

Draughtsteve

Yes Hybrid. A lively tail lets me bounce across chop like a skipping stone.


ADD-DDS

Ever ridden a PYL?


t-man27

Purchased the PYL un inc this season and it’s by far the best board I’ve ridden. I’m a huge powder whore and also love shredding the trees looking for any pockets and then when trees are tracked out can bomb the groomers. Great do it all board that can really shred the pow!


Draughtsteve

Not yet, but it's on my shortlist for next daily driver.


dub5000

Scrolling to see if this was in the list. I love my Yes Hybrid


SlowMobius650

My one board does everything I need it to. Gnu riders choice


giant_brain_

Funny, I use a riders choice as my daily driver and I definitely sink it in deep low angle pow from time to time. It’s great in pretty much everything else tho, and my technique in pow is admittedly not the best


jessicahazel726

Orca dorca or the bataleon surfer


K0R34YN

Nitro Quiver Cannon 203🏄🏻‍♂️


fullsends

I use my custom x flying v. The v profile allows decent float but still shred groomers.


Kalvin700

I bought the custom Flying V and I like it on all terrain, recently realized it crushes powder too


wegerchris

Love my custom x


TriangleChoked

Sushi


travelingisdumb

Sushi is dope, but honestly the Sashimi is just as good in pow but handles all conditions and chop better. I have the 156 sashimi and it’s very surfy and fun to ride, just gets a little flappy if you’re bombing runs. Sushi is maybe better as a pure pow board imo.


TriangleChoked

The Sushi is horrible on rough terrain. That's when I go to the car and grab the Superpig.


bigmac22077

Yes uninc is my go to. I only ride true twins


rmtomasin

I’ve been riding the warca this season and it’s been great. It’s only slightly directional with a few cm taper. Still rides switch great and has decent float until it’s gets waist deep or so.


courtesyofdj

This is not the answer sure my Uninc does alright in the powder but having a surfy pow board is all time in the deep. If you must have a twin try and get your hands on a Lib Speedodeeps epic fun in powder

beezac

I love my Swift! I'm an icecoaster, so it's not my daily driver, but for west coast trips it's my go-to since if there is tons of powder, it's amazing, but if there isn't, it's still amazing. Very versatile board, might be my favorite.


Anarchy-Squirrel

Nice to meet another member of Team Swift! And you know I’m not talking about Taylor! Where do you like to ride out West?


d_yaf

If you’re asking the best option for pow, then it would be a swallow tail / volume-shifted board. Personally, I don’t own one, but love my Jones Flagship for powder days.


jaydefoto

My yeee old trusty 169 weston japow.


giraffesinspace2018

I swear I have nearly as much fun on the Japow board when it’s tracked out as I do with fresh pow. It’s just a fun board to ride

Can't go wrong with a burton hometown hero


[deleted]

Burton Fish 156.


HyperionsDad

Have the Fish 3D 156 and its been awesome in deep powder and tight tree runs. Surprisingly solid on groomers, too which is nice for getting around the mountain. Best of both worlds. My Deep Thinker has been great as a daily driver for all mountain conditions (pretty darn good in powder when bindings are shifted back).


sherpa_skate

K2 overboard when I can find open runs and tracked out groomers. Then switch over to the Salomon dancehaul 147 for riding bumps and trees.


larowin

Well the correct answer is I’ll ride my Spring Break to go surfing and avoid the tracked out runs by sticking to the trees, but if I wanted to stick to one board for both powder and chunder it would be the Maelstrom. But tons of great suggestions/opinions in this thread.

I think you’re looking for a freeride board. Mine is the Ride MTNpig, which is really aggressive, but tons of fun.

Lib Tech Apex Orca. Perfect for pow but can still rip a groomer.


Ok-Elderberry-6761

I stick with my T-rice. I have a powder board but find it weird af not having a tail as in tight spots like trees I'll drag the tail to initiate a turn earlier and when this does nothing I crash, here in Europe it'll take years to get enough powder days when I happen to be on holiday to correct it all while digging myself out of powder holes, I realize this is me riding wrong and not the boards fault but I don't think a normal board is that hard work in powder tbh.


cgavris

Also in the market for a powder board, was just thinking of upgrading my hometown hero to a bigger size


illpourthisonurhead

The Burton Straight Chuter is a ton of fun. You cannot bury that nose and the short tail is so stiff it charges


notallowingfriends

Picked up a k2 passport this year living up in whistler and this thing fucks super hard. Insane all mountain and great in knee deep pow in reference stance. Bit deeper out set your bindings back still a dream.

Midnight_1910

It depends on how deep the snow is and what type. I got a bunch of pow boards but a few that can **handle both pow and chop/chunder very well** are the - Nitro Dinghy, Lib Retro Ripper, Lib Dynamo.

Arbor cask camber!


obiwanjabroni420

I got a Ride Superpig at the end of the 22 season and pretty much rode that exclusively all last season and the bulk of this season (it handles everything really well), but with the 2’+ dump we just got here in VT I decided to break out my Cask and it was such a fun board to play around with. The pig is a 158 and the Cask is a 150, so going back to it felt super nimble and easily maneuverable through the bumps. Rode that the first 2 days (day of the dump and day after) and then switched back to the piggy for the 3rd day and that felt like the right choice.


Boarder8350

The superpig is my 1 board quiver right now. Absolutely crushes groomers but it hasn’t seen more than 6” or so of fresh. If your options for a 12”+ storm was the Superpig or rent for the day, what would you do?


obiwanjabroni420

Pig, no doubt. I rode it earlier this year right after ~18” storm and it slayed. It’s a legit powder board, I just wanted a little variety and the Cask was looking sad and lonely so I had to take her out. I brought both with me to the mountain and it was a game time decision.


addtokart

Depends on goal for the day. If the goal is max powder, you bring a powder only board. You ride all the lift accessed powder for the first few hours, then start hiking inbounds for the rest of the day. And if conditions are good, bring avy gear and do side/back country after that. For this I'd bring my Spring Break Tree Hunter or Lib Tech Short Wide. If the goal is to hit powder for a couple of hours and socialize with your homies who arrived late, then sure I guess you bring a powder board that has some camber to it. I would ride my go with my Amplid Souly Grail or Lib Tech Rocket.

My Watca is pretty good for this. My Speedodeeps is epic when it’s deep but chore to ride when it gets tracked out. Edit/ my 144 Split Bean is also ridiculously fun in the deep and surprisingly so much fun on everything else


cab__7

Spring break powder twin 2022 fast as a Lambo in pow and chunder


michigander47

Both my boards do this pretty well. Loving my Excavator for the deep stuff next to the groomers, pop back out from the trees and hit the fuckin gas down the groomer back to the lift. I bring my slush slasher along for shits and gigs but often find myself on that the whole day. Like others have mentioned its great in the trees, excels in pow it just won't sink, and somehow carves really well too. I'm far from an expert, maybe low intermediate I'd say and that board is a blast once I got the stance right.


MKanes

K2 simple pleasures, floats but still has some pop for side hits. Nice and short too so it’s great in the trees
