PTO Review
We know them. Here's how they stack up.
These snowboards span 2 categories (All-Mountain, Park). Scores reflect each snowboard's intended use — direct comparison across all dimensions may be misleading.
Women's Hideaway Flat Top — women early in their snowboarding who want a stable, catch-free board for learning turns on groomers, and riders who mostly ride forward and want a little directional float on soft days. Disaster — park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. Check the radar chart below to see where each one wins.
Each row compares all boards on one dimension. 🏆 marks the highest score.
| Dimension | Women's Hideaway Flat Top | Disaster |
|---|---|---|
| Carving | 4🏆 | 3 |
| Park | 3 | 10🏆 |
| Playfulness | 6 | 7🏆 |
| Forgiveness | 8🏆 | 8🏆 |
| Stability | 5🏆 | 3 |
| Powder | 4🏆 | 2 |
Women early in their snowboarding who want a stable, catch-free board for learning turns on groomers, and riders who mostly ride forward and want a little directional float on soft days.
Riders who already link confident turns and want more range should move up; the Yeasayer Flying V is rated Intermediate with wider All Mountain and Powder bars. Park and switch riders face a 0-30% park bar, a set-back stance and a ranking that warned it is not the easiest board to learn switch on. Riders who want pop and edge bite on firm snow need camber underfoot, such as the Spellbinder's PurePop Camber, and anyone needing a wide length gets none here.
Park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. Riders progressing into park for the first time. Street-style riders. Anyone who wants a dedicated soft-flex park tool.
All-mountain riders who need one board for everything. Speed seekers. Powder riders. Advanced riders who need pop for big kickers — the Disaster is built for small-to-medium features, not boosting 40-footers.
Women's Hideaway Flat Top is best for women early in their snowboarding who want a stable, catch-free board for learning turns on groomers, and riders who mostly ride forward and want a little directional float on soft days. Disaster is best for park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. The right choice depends on your terrain, ability, and riding style.
Burton Women's Hideaway Flat Top has the highest Stability score in this comparison at 5/10. That score compares composure; it does not by itself mean the product is the most versatile choice.
Burton Women's Hideaway Flat Top leads Carving in this comparison with a PTO score of 4/10.
Burton Women's Hideaway Flat Top has the highest Forgiveness score here at 8/10. Forgiveness is one factor in progression, not a claim that every beginner should choose it.
