Thanks.

Just wanna start this off by saying pls don't hate on the fact I used to ski, it's fun and I liked it.

So last year I skiied for the first time and bought ski's with my own money and decided to ski with my snowboarder friends for a season. It was lots of fun and I actually picked up skiing surprisingly easily and am now what is probably considered a intermediate skier. Now I decided I wanted to try snowboarding so I bought a snowboard and bindings and am gonna do ski bus this year, this means I will be up on the mountains at least once a week.  I'm just looking for a any advice or tips on how to have the most fun and progress fast so I can ride more with my friends.

I recently moved states and left my snowboard behind because I didn’t want to ruin our rental obviously without thinking about the hassle of shipping…. What’s the best way to ship my snowboard? I haven’t found a box nor a good shipping service . My snowboard is 154cm I’m trying to avoid removing my bindings and the burrito method just because someone else is shipping it for me , so any recommendations that won’t break my bank?

Thinking of getting the capita doa as my park board planning to do a lot of jibbing and jumps. Any thoughts on the doa? Good park board? I've seen a lot of hate and a lot of love towards it. I've also heard it's a do it all type of board but also that it's more of a park board

Hey all, going on a trip to Japan soon and wanted to pick up new snowboarding pants. I like mid baggy fits, think 686 Dojo or beyond medals park pants.

Anyone have good quality brands/styles that are harder to get outside of Japan?

I'm a 6'3 190 LBS intermediate snowboarder, I'm looking for something thats all mountain and can do pretty much everything. (All Mountain, 162W, Directional Twin, Medium Flex) But I have no clue what's good or not, two I have saved that I might buy are the 2027 Rome Viper (https://www.evo.com/products/281593-rome-viper-snowboard-2027) or the 2027 Salomon Craft (https://www.evo.com/products/284029-salomon-craft-snowboard-2027). Any advice on what I should pick?

Hi! I’m a Product Design student currently developing an interactive balance training product as part of my Bachelor’s project.

This short survey explores how people train balance, what motivates them to exercise, and their thoughts about an interactive balance training concept.

It takes approximately 3–5 minutes to complete. Thank you for helping with my research!

How much is this used board worth its a 2024 Lib-tech Cold brew with burton bindings?

Do you land on an edge -> but then you slip out
Do you land flat and then take an edge immediately after -> probably catch an edge
any tips?

If youre thinking of learning, check out the video int eh comments. I actually tried to learn here and recorded the whole process,

Just bought this 2023 Arbor Formula on ebay, then later started seeing all the delamination issues people have had with them. Would it be dumb for me to even use this board at all? Have people had luck with getting these warrantied after buying them secondhand?

I finally pulled the trigger and upgraded my setup! The new setup is the first pic and the old setup is the second. Decided to get a Ride Agenda board that actually fits me with Bent Metal bindings that fits my boots. Can’t wait to see the difference on a hybrid board versus a random camber board from 2000 lol

After having an insulated Columbia bib for a while, I'm ready to switch to a shell, as well as experiment with snow pants...

Debating between purchasing the "Men's Burton Reserve 2L Pants" and the "686 SMARTY^® 3-in-1 Cargo Pant". What are people's opinions on both of them? Any personal experience with either of them?

Both are 20k waterproof and priced around the same amount. Thanks!

The two I'm deciding between in Khaki:

Hey everyone!
I’ve been riding rental gear (both board and boots) for the past 6 seasons, and this season I’m finally planning to buy my own setup.
Here’s what I’m currently considering:
● Board: Korua Transition Finder 160
● Bindings: Union Atlas or Union Falcor
● Boots: Ride Trident
I mainly ride groomed resort runs and enjoy riding fast, carving, and making the most of the entire mountain. I’m not really interested in park riding, jumps, or tricks.
I’d love to hear from people who have ridden both the Atlas and the Falcor, especially with a similar riding style.
A few questions:
● How do the Atlas and Falcor compare in terms of response, edge-to-edge transitions, carving performance, and stability at speed?
● Does the Falcor’s more surfy, freestyle-oriented feel offer any real advantages for my riding style, or would the Atlas be the better choice?
● Which binding would you personally pair with the Korua Transition Finder for aggressive resort riding and carving?
● How do they compare in terms of comfort and fatigue over a full day on the mountain?
I’m looking for a setup that feels comfortable and predictable but still lets me push hard, ride fast, and carve confidently.
Any real-world experience or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello everybody,

I've been snowboarding for 4 years now (1-2 Weeks a year) and my Rome board died last year because the service guy fucked it up while waxing. So I went to a store and got a new board (Bataleon Tornado x Beyond Medals). At the store I was introduced to a couple of different Step In Bindings. I don't want to limit myself to specific boots so the Burton were out of discussion from the beginning. They had different Systems in the store I could try with my own boots and the Fase system convinced me instantly. Now I'm looking to get some advice on how to decide for a specific model.

I'd say I mostly ride groomers but I'd like to get into small jumps, grinds and ground-tricks. So far I've used my Rome 390 Boss Bindings and I'm really happy, especially the straps just feel nice.

In the table below I've listed all the fase Models and their flex according to the brands websites.

How do they compare to the 390 Boss and which one would you recommend for me?
And are the flex ratings compareable inbetween brands?

Hey yall. Ok so im born and raised in flat ass Kansas. A buddy if mine just invited me to visit him in Oregon and to go Snowboarding there im like 3 or so months. I did snowboarding once before years ago (like 13-14) and even bk then I was sore for days.

Id love to get my body prepped for a day, or multiple even, of snowboarding. Id love to hear about workouts and ways to keep me from falling on my face constantly.

Any other tips and advice past that is GREATLY appreciated. THANK YOU in advance

I am searching to buy a second hand snowboard and I ran upon this, however through my image search it provided that this board is actually a Burton Clash, am I tripping or is that guy trying to scam me

Hey!

I'm thinking of getting my first pair of snowboard boots for the incoming season. Any reference of brands/models to look for?

(Price up to 200/220)

Hey! I’m a brand new boarder about to do my first season in Revelstoke BC. I’m trying to get all my gear second hand / marketplace to keep costs low. I’ve been on the hunt for a shell as I’ve heard it’s more compatible with layering, changing temps etc., but the only things that are coming up seem to be insulated jackets!! A couple people told me they actually prefer insulated as the mountain gets freezing. It’s hard to decide what’s best for me cos I just don’t know how I’m gonna feel! The one I’m looking at is the North Face Freedom Insulated Jacket. Maybe I’m deeping it too much but it feels like a big decision lol! Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!!

2022 nitro dropout 156. seller says all damage has been properly maintained , but idk, those blemishes look deep. However im also not too knowledgeable when it comes to assessing damage on these, hence why im here.

When i think about buying snow gear i keep focusing on the obvious stuff like jacket, pants and boots. But for people who have been riding for a few seasons was there anything you bought that you initially thought was unnecessary but ended up using constantly? Could be something small like a neck warmer or better gloves or something you completely overlooked when putting your first setup together
