Hi there! Would greatly appreciate any recs - great info on this forum!
I’m an intermediate (to advanced) rider (5’9, ~160 lbs) and ride mostly groomers but like to carve through trees and take advantage of powder days. I am looking for an all mountain, hybrid profile, single quiver board that can do it all (except park!) - bomb down a mountain and still be able to turn on a dime. I am on the West Coast so I mostly hit the Tahoe resorts. I also want something that I can continue to progress with as I advance.
For some context, my first board was a Gnu B-Nice but grew out of it pretty quickly (felt extremely slow and unstable) and then tried a Burton Feelgood and didn't love the pure camber profile. I've borrowed a friends old Aura a few times which was night and day - I loved the feel of it, but it's since been discontinued.
So far I've narrowed my search down to a few, based on some preliminary research, but am open to recs.
Thanks! Yeah I think I've crossed the PS off the list since doing some more research! It was recommended since I mostly ride resort but heard it wasn't as fun and surfy as the Lady West. I looked hard at the Jones Twin Sister - I know a lot of people really like that board but I figured based on the Dream Catcher might be a better fit based on my riding style and the fact that I dont do park. I don't know that much about the Equalizer (don't know anyone who has ridden it) but I'll definitely look into it!
Thanks! I've seen this one a lot. Looks like a great board - my boyfriend rides Niche but he's more interested in park. My hesitation here is that the magnatraction looked pretty aggressive, which is something I was unsure about because of the GNU B-nice. I also read that it has a pretty loose feel so was concerned that it wouldn't be super stable/more difficult to carve. Have you ridden this one?
I saw this one on Angry Snowboarders Youtube channel as the best All Mountain Women's board this year. Very cool board and good reviews - my hesitation with it was it looked to be more camber / less of a hybrid board than the ones I mentioned. Awesome looking board though!
Thanks - I know a lot of people love a pure camber board. The Dream Catcher seems like a great fit - I think I'm mainly between that one and the NS Lady West at this point, based on what I've read.

20/21 Jones Dream Catcher 148. Practically new. I bought this for my wife for Christmas, but she prefers the more aggressive Magnetraction on her old Rossi Diva....we're an ice coast family. I've ridden men's Jones boards with this same sidecut and think they work great on hard snow and ice, but...
