time to buy a new deck but magazines get confusing. what is your fav?

Have a look at the Burton snowboard collection at burton.com. Being a Vermonter, they are my favorite.

Go with a Burton board.

l do not know too much about percific womens boards but good makes to go for are Ride, K2, Forum, Gnu also less fashionable makes like Atomic, Apo and Signal are good. There are probably lots of other good makes also, but im basing my answer on boards that ive ridden. Burton are also good but are overpriced and tend to be ridden by all the gear and no idea types, who buy for the name rather than what is the best board for them.

Check out the Nitro Black Widow or the Jade both rocken boards and best of all not a Burton. The widow is a better all mountain board with the Jade being a pure park and jib girls board, something burton does not have.

any RIDE board or k2
