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 Yeasayer — women who cover the whole mountain in a day and want a twin that stays lively without demanding much, set on the soft side of happy medium by burton's own personality bar.. 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 Yeasayer | Disaster |
|---|---|---|
| Carving | 5🏆 | 3 |
| Park | 4 | 10🏆 |
| Playfulness | 7🏆 | 7🏆 |
| Forgiveness | 7 | 8🏆 |
| Stability | 4🏆 | 3 |
| Powder | 6🏆 | 2 |
Women who cover the whole mountain in a day and want a twin that stays lively without demanding much, set on the soft side of Happy Medium by Burton's own personality bar. It fits riders who can link turns and want to learn switch, since shape, flex and stance are symmetrical, and riders who want an easy-care base.
Park-first riders are on the wrong board; Burton holds the park bar to 0-40%. Powder specialists should pick a directional shape over a centered twin with a 0-60% powder bar, whatever the inherited deep-powder line in Burton's description says. First-day riders are better matched to the Cultivator, whose Easy Bevel Burton builds to lift the edges off the snow.
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 Yeasayer is best for women who cover the whole mountain in a day and want a twin that stays lively without demanding much, set on the soft side of happy medium by burton's own personality bar. 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 Yeasayer has the highest Stability score in this comparison at 4/10. That score compares composure; it does not by itself mean the product is the most versatile choice.
Burton Women's Yeasayer leads Carving in this comparison with a PTO score of 5/10.
Bataleon Disaster has the highest Forgiveness score here at 8/10. Forgiveness is one factor in progression, not a claim that every beginner should choose it.
