5’7”, 165 lbs, Size 8 boot

I’ve had the chance to ride the 147 Andrew Miller LTD Storm Chaser all over including Mammoth, Winter Park, Snowbird, Mt. Bachelor, Tahoe, June Mountain, and both the resorts and backcountry in Japan. After about 50 days on this board I can honestly say it’s one of the most fun snowboards I’ve ever owned.

I’ve also spent time on the Never Summer Harpoon, K2 Special Effects, and the Gentemstick Chaser and Rocket Fish. They’re all great boards, but the Storm Chaser shape is something special.

The best way I can describe it is that it feels like a true blend of surfing and snowboarding. Everything about the shape makes you want to slash instead of just point it downhill. It turns on a dime, snakes through tight trees effortlessly, and throws huge powder sprays with almost no effort. It’s one of those boards that has you smiling the entire run because every little terrain feature becomes something to play on.

What really surprised me was how well it rides once the snow isn’t perfect anymore. I’d put its float right up there with my Gentemsticks in deep powder, which is saying a lot. At the same time it has enough backbone that I never feel like I need to put it away once things get tracked out. It stays playful but feels composed enough to keep riding long after the fresh lines are gone.

This isn’t the board I grab when I want to straight line big faces or lay trenches on icy groomers. That’s not what it was built for. It’s for riders who want to slash every bank, weave through trees, hunt for pillows, and make the mountain feel like one big wave.

After riding several of the most popular volume shifted powder boards out there, the Storm Chaser is still my favorite. If your style is more about creativity, flow, and having fun than simply riding as fast as possible, I don’t think you’ll find many boards that do it better.

This is my go to board for ripping powder days in the tight tree runs here in Killington Vermont. Unsinkable float in both dry “cold smoke “pow and the wetter, heavier snow we typically get. Enough stiffness for stability at speed but plenty quick and maneuverable for dodging trees. Holds a decent edge on icy, wind blasted trails for when you’re transitioning from zone to zone as well. Holds speed well on low angle entries and exits too.

top board 2025, très surfy pour la poudreuse mais également pour carver sur pistes grâce au cambre rajouté entre les pieds, un best seller!

Storm Chaser was the perfect name for this board. I've only been on it a couple of times and to say it did the trick is being modest. A big POW day almost became effortless with this stick. I mean you have to work to some small degree right! Love

Elle est super surfy ! c'est un jouet génial 🤙

I added this to my quiver this year, first day I went to feel it out just on groomers and it felt so good and was so fun even in those conditions that it hasn't left my feet. It dumped 3 feet over the next two days and this thing is magic. I'm 6' 185 and I'm glad I got the 157—the bigger the better I think for this one. Doesn't feel too big and all is handles all conditions surprisingly well. I'd highly recommend giving this one a go.

I love the way that the board rolls over on edge and dives into turns with the taper. It took me a day to override all of my muscle memory of riding boards in the powder that you have to really work to keep the tip up—on this one, you almost can't bury the nose and it allows you to much more evenly weight your feet which results in less fatigue less quickly. I haven't ridden it on any ice or anything real technical, but my first impression on the groom is that the edge holds surprisingly well and I wouldn't be surprised if you can push this into pretty technical terrain with the right technique.

Flex feels perfect—responsive, has pop even with the short tail, but not too stiff that you're ever fighting it. You can ride this thing really aggressively and actively or just sit back and cruise. Obviously it's very directional, but I can still ride in switch for short periods of time.

Celebrating my 40th year standing sideways this board brings it full circle - but with 40 years of technology. The Storm Chaser is one of my fav boards of all time for super surfy-flowy-quick turning blower turns as well as surfing groomers. Pro tip - keep it waxed to maximize speed and match it with the Meteorite Surf Series bindings.

Ive had a lot of “good" boards over the course of 21 years of snowboarding, but Im always looking for that Unicorn board thats a cut above. Ive had a few that really stand out for one reason or another. \n I got the 19/20 Mind Expander in a 158, and let me tell you, its a Unicorn for sure! Im 5 8", 180lbs, 10.5 boots. If they had a 156 Id have considered it, but the 158 suits me well. Wouldnt go 154. It is a really good all-mountain board, and if you prefer directional could be your quiver-of-one. \n Float - Amazing! You can stop dead on a mellow slope in 2 deep pow, scootch a bit, and start right back up cruising. It doesnt sink. And the surfy feel you get... Gah! Drool. \n Edge Hold - so good! The mellow mag does such a good job. You wouldnt think a flat/rocker board with this much taper would grip so good, but it has better edge hold than my 160 UMT! If its icy you have to get your front binding set back before the rocker in the nose starts or its a bit washy, but thats ok. Its also surprisingly stable bombing groomers. Flat bases really well. Slows down a little more than a camber board on cat tracks though. \n Speed - dang! Its got one of the fastest bases Ive ever been on, once youve waxed it a few times. \n Edge to Edge - Super nimble. Like, mind-numbingly quick. In the trees and in the open. \n Jumping - its a weak spot if you like spins (that huge nose adds a lot of swing weight) but it pops well for a board with no camber, and the tail is stiff enough for big landings at high speeds. I jump off everything I see and Im quite satisfied. Ive got a UMT for the days I want to just huck jumps and spins, anyways. \n Yeah, cant say enough good things about this board. I have a bit of time on the Ultra Mind Expander as well, and I prefer the softer flex of the Mind Expander over the Ultra. Better for traversing and torsional flex. Now, if they made a softer version of the camber one Id probably have to get that...

Im so happy with my mind expander

thats the best board where i ever had!

Storm Chaser Snowboard

Insanely fun and versatile board. I got the 152cm and im 6'1 size 11 boot 165lbs. Perfect size for me. So easy to turn and has great edge hold on groomers. The rocker nose immediately makes a noticeable difference in powder. Such a surfy feel that is effortless. Also makes staying above chunky snow that gets pushed around later in the day more doable. So fun to slash and whip around all areas of the mountain then charge when you want to. Short tail does well in tight trees. Got it off some jumps which were fun too. I would increase the all-mountain score by a point or two if I were Jones! All in all - get this board. It's a magic stick and wouldnt change a thing.

This was my first powder board and it has been a blast on deep days!

Well it used to be a powder board...but they turned it into a carving board by adding camber....make them longer...and bring back the rocker...softer too...they need to flex....
