As the snow starts to fall and the mountains call, we're excited to share our top picks for the best snowboards of the 2025 season. We've talked to our expert snowboard buyer, Liam, who has spent decades in the industry and has ridden the latest models to bring you the inside scoop. From all-mountain quiver killers to freeride pow machines, Comor's Top 5 list has something for every type of rider. Here's what our team put together for you!

The Capita Mega Death is a beast. Built for aggressive riders who thrive on high-speed carving and technical terrain, this board combines ultralight construction with enhanced stability. Featuring Capita's Death Grip technology (adds an extra contact point for better edge hold and stability, especially on icy terrain) and a new hybrid camber profile (A mix of camber and rocker, providing both stability for carving and flexibility for floating in powder), it offers precision control in varied conditions. Perfect for big mountain riders seeking the next level of performance.

The Nitro Alternator is designed for riders who want an all-mountain board that excels everywhere. It features Nitro’s Powerlite core (ultralight, high-strength core made from premium poplar wood), delivering a lightweight feel without sacrificing durability. This board also comes with a cam-out camber (Traditional camber with early rise in the nose and tail, offering responsive turns with a forgiving feel) for responsive turns, making it ideal for intermediate to advanced riders who want versatility across groomers, powder, and park.

The Salomon Assassin is a completely new designed, eco-friendly option that blends freestyle flexibility with freeride stability. New this season is a retooled ABC Wrapper (reduced fibreglass by using bamboo in the board’s construction, making it lighter and more eco-friendly) for reduced weight and improved sustainability. The Assassin is ideal for riders who want a do-it-all board that performs equally well on jumps, rails, and powder.

Burton’s Family Tree Alekesam is a new addition to this year’s Family Tree collection. This directional, freeride-focused board is made for deep powder and carving through trees. It features Burton’s FSC™ certified Super Fly II™ core (sustainable wood for a lighter, stronger, and more eco-friendly snowboard), along with their Triax™ fibreglass (enhances flex and torsional strength, offering better control and responsiveness in varied conditions) for added strength. Best for riders seeking powder days and backcountry adventure.

The Lib Tech Golden Orca combines power and precision. With its C2X hybrid camber (A rocker between the feet with camber underfoot, providing a blend of pop, control, and float in all conditions) profile and Horsepower construction (lightweight, eco-friendly build that boosts strength and responsiveness), this board is built for high-energy freestyle riders who want to dominate big mountain lines and deep snow. Lib Tech’s Magne-Traction® edges give superior edge hold, making it a great option for carving in all conditions.
