					<description><![CDATA[When it comes to deciding the top boards of the season, each magazine defines their own lists and how they collect the results.  For Snowboarder Magazine, it means talking to the industry and shop employees to find out their favorites from the industry on-snow demos.  These on-snow demos were hosted  at a mix of mountains from Vermont to Colorado to Michigan to California in a variety of conditions in last year&#8217;s very wintery winter.  After the demos are done and feedback is given, the top 3 men&#8217;s boards and top 2 women&#8217;s boards are awarded in the Best of Test and the remaining 7 worthy boards are given the Best of the Rest category. Snowboarder&#8217;s Tom Monterosso said, &#8220;The staff of Snowboarder Magazine traveled  all winter long to gather intel from over 500 retailers, buyers, and real riders at on-snow demos from across the country in order to present to you the sticks that rode best-(ahem)-across the board.  These testers have tried a plethora of different rides in varying conditions to provide honest feedback as to how certain snowboards handle in corduroy, ice, pow and slush.&#8221; The Best of Test results this year are noticeably freestyle specific which says a [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Every season the snowboard magazines that hit newstands and mailboxes define in their own way the top boards of the season.  Snowboarder Magazine uses the on-snow industry demos at Mammoth Mountain, Stratton, Mission Ridge, Boyne Mountain, Snowbasin and Keystone to find out which boards rank the highest ranking boards among the shop staffers.   The end result is the top three men&#8217;s boards and the top women&#8217;s boards.
