Snowboarding is supposed to be fun. When you’re on the wrong snowboard—one that doesn’t jive with your size, skill level, riding style, or the conditions or terrain at hand—fun can devolve into frustration. Luckily for you, our selfless test crew of 13 women sifted through 47 women’s and unisex snowboards at the freeride hub of Kirkwood Mountain Resort and beyond this past spring to bring you the best snowboards for women of 2026.
Even when testers were analyzing snowboards that didn’t wow them or risking high-speed crashes for the sake of data collection, good times were had. As a group, these were the best snowboards we’ve ever had at our annual test, and more often than not, testers loved the boards under their boots. Below, you’ll find the cream of that impressive crop, from versatile all-mountain decks and intermediate-friendly cruisers to buttery jib boards and freeride machines.
