The folks at TransWorld SNOWboarding have tested and made their recommendations for the best snowboards for the 2012-2013 season. They've categorized the boards -- by gender and by price: over and under $450 -- and provided great tester feedback too, like: “Jeezum crowbars! This thing was amazing! It pops, it carves, it jumps, it has magical saves, and it has more stuff hidden in the fibers of its core than a Swiss army knife.”

See which boards have "more pop than corn and just enough flex" here.
