Burton Mystery Series Day Trader vs Lib Tech T. Rice Apex Orca

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 Lib Tech T. Rice Apex Orca uses hybrid (camber/rocker) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Lib Tech T. Rice Apex Orca is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
