"The Good Wood test is a men’s and women’s freestyle board test performed in the park at Copper Mountain, Colorado. This year a separate halfpipe test with pipe-specific testers was also added. In total, our 23-person crew of seasoned riders sessioned 25 brands’ top board picks-over 150 boards in a full range of sizes mounted, waxed, and maintained through the week by an army of brand representatives.

The boards were put through the paces on the 2,000-vertical-foot-long run from the top of the American Flyer through wide, butter-friendly groomers, the kids park boxes, the High Point Pocket Park, the Jibberish Pocket Park, and into the massive kicker and transition-filled Catalyst Terrain Park. We pretty much took over Copper Mountain.

Our testers scored each board at the end of every run for variables like pop, turning, stability, flex, buttering, edging, switch performance, rail performance-22 different factors were considered for each board by each tester. At the end of the week, the testers retired to the hot tubs, and we crunched the numbers to find out which boards performed the very best.

We’re confident you’ll find the best board for you in these Good Wood winning boards categories-which should come as a huge relief, because the last time we checked, snowboard shops won’t accept returns on used sticks."
