Burton Mystery Series Day Trader vs GNU Banked Country C3

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain and freeride and powder riding. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Burton Mystery Series Day Trader has a rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the GNU Banked Country C3 uses hybrid (camber/rocker) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The GNU Banked Country C3 is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Burton Mystery Series Day Trader targets advanced riders while the GNU Banked Country C3 is aimed at expert riders.
