Who is it for? For riders looking for a classic all-mountain board that can handle pretty much whatever you throw at it. The Custom has been part of Burton’s line since 1996, combining traditional camber with a directional shape and twin flex for a powerful, responsive ride that still feels comfortable riding switch. There’s plenty of pop when you want to hit side hits or take it through the park, while the camber profile gives you the precision and edge control to charge groomers and explore the rest of the mountain. There’s a reason the Custom has stuck around for 30 years – it’s a proper do-it-all snowboard that’s become a genuine classic.

The lightweight poplar core keeps things responsive without making the board demanding, while the symmetrical shape makes riding switch and getting into freestyle more approachable.

Who is it for? For all-mountain riders looking for a powerful, versatile board that can charge hardpack and still float like a dream when the snow gets deep. Travis Rice’s Orca pairs a long, floaty nose with a short, powerful tail, while the tight sidecut and wider platform give you plenty of edge hold and stability when carving. It’s volume-shifted too, so Lib Tech recommends riding it 3–6cm shorter than your regular board, keeping it nimble despite the extra width. From carving around your home resort to deep pow and pillow lines, the Orca is built to take on pretty much whatever the mountain throws at it.

Who is it for? For intermediate to advanced riders looking for a powerful all-mountain board that leans towards the freeride side of things. The Viper Pro pairs a stiff flex with Rome’s Fusion Camber profile, giving you plenty of power and response while keeping things a little more forgiving through the tip and tail. A Directional Diamond 3D nose helps it float through deeper snow and power through choppy conditions, while the Directional Double Kick adds some extra stability and response through the tail. Carbon HotRods and Triax Glass add even more snap and power when you’re riding aggressively, but the directional twin shape keeps it versatile enough for riding switch too. Built for charging groomers, steep terrain and deeper snow, it’s a hard-charging board for riders who like to take on pretty much whatever the mountain puts in front of them.

Its mid-wide shape adds some extra stability and float without turning it into a dedicated pow board, while the twin shape keeps things equally comfortable riding regular or switch. A solid do-it-all option for riders who don’t want to limit themselves to one style of riding.
