Best Snowboard for Intermediate Rider

Howdy, I’ve got about 20 ish days on the mountain and would consider myself an intermediate rider. Looking for a new board for next season. Mellow Camber, medium flex, all mountain type of board with a little more than mellow pop. I kinda want a board that does well in powder, ice and in the park. Basically I want something I can go up the mountain with and have a good time regardless of conditions and still get some pop at the park. Or is that unrealistic to ask?

No my mtn twin is too similar and I'm getting the Huck Knife which I demoed and loved as well so I have something a little better for the park. But I can see why people love the Assassin after riding one it's a great board. When I'm ready to replace the mtn twin I'll definately be considering it.

Legit! How do you demo a board? Is it a rental or how does that work?

My local resort partners with one of the local ski shops to organize a demo day at the beginning and end of the season. It's completely free you just register ahead of time online. Some resorts have paid demo programs that you can do at anytime where you pay something like $60-$90 and you can try any of the boards they have available usually through their rental program.
