| Pros | Fantastic all-around board, great in powder | Unmatched pop, great edge hold, supremely stable | Great stability, tons of float | Great for big mountain, cuts through anything, phenomenal for carving | Great value, supremely stable at high speeds |
| Cons | Not the best beginner board | Not the best board for powder | Second-rate pop, so-so playfulness | Heavy, not for anyone who likes softer board | Not as much pop as other boards |
| Bottom Line | This is one of our absolute favorite all-mountain boards | Earning one of the top scores we have seen to date, we highly recommend this board | This stiffer big mountain board is great for carving or for anyone who likes to scream down groomers | The Burton Story Board is a fantastic choice for aggressive, hard-charging freeriders | If you want a top-notch all-mountain board without paying a premium price, the Klassy is the one for you |
