if i get step in bindings from burton do i need step on shoes from burton or can i use step on shoes from a diff brand ?
Suggested this as a joke with my friends when we were up sledding and building snowmen. Then said fuck it and it worked out just as I imagined it, which is always a nice feeling!
I just purchased a 158cm capita doa and wondering if I should return and order a 160cm.

Let me know what yall think.
Last season’s bindings. But new board and boots. Last season rode the shit out of my cheapo facebook marketplace boots and board. So it feels good to have a proper setup. I’m stoked see you fools in VT
All i need for fun on any part of any mountain .
I got by first snowboard and it’s a Salomon bliss. I used the website to get the recommend size, I’m 5’5” and 145 lbs and the board I got is 151. The board seems too big, super stiff and heavy, and at times it feels like and board rides me more than I ride it. Is this just a skill thing or should I go with a bendier, shorter board?
Hit a rock and got it repaired but it didn't hold up, is it worth trying again?
This old sweet black lady went out of her way to get my grandma out of the house, my grandma is 94 so a real mountain is out of the question. My old snow tube was sitting around at my grandmas house so she used that to go down the hill. The old black lady used her sons freestyle 110 board. It worked decent for her. I’m sitting at home, my ankle is sprained from hiking earlier today. I get a call from Destiny my grandmas home health aid that she is sucking on the carrot 🥕 of a snowman some kids built and now they’re traumatized… Is my grandma cooked ?
As title suggests… what’s everyone’s recommendations for powder boards? It doesn’t have to be powder specific or female specific, but pow is my priority
I’m new to snowboarding and just bought the Salomon Lotus 2024 today. I heard this is a good progressive board for beginner-intermediate riders. Does anyone have any experience on this board?
Is there a way to search for a suitable board based on specs and not gender specification? I just want something that will be safe and fun to ride based on my height and weight. How big of a difference is there going to be between a men’s Never Summer Proto, and a Women’s Never Summer Proto, for example? (Or any board, how much does this matter when factoring in weight and size etc?)
Thanks!
Sincerely, someone stoked to buy a new board and hoping to narrow the search down and make a decision.
Hi,
I was looking at the new step on loback that Burton released and I wanted to know if anyone else knows what the difference is between those and just removing the high back from normal step ons?
I want to know whether I should buy a whole extra set of bindings for park days or whether I can just remove the high back from the regular version for the same experience

My wife went snowboarding and called me saying that she can’t find the find kids after she “accidentally” went down a blue and they all can only do a green. She told me to call ski patrol so they can watch them until she’s done for the day.
Will ski patrol do that?
I'm in need of a new snowboarding jacket and it's been 12 years since I've bought mine. Any good deals out there?
In the midst of my normal day riding DBs and DBDs (that’s black diamonds and double black diamonds for those of you uninitiated or moving over from skiing) - I come across a group of 5 kids all asking where their mommy is? I’m like WTF! Who can afford that many passes? Hopefully they got a family discount or fast pack. I only came across all those turds because I got distracted taking a call from my wices BF asking he could spend the night - which of course! But nice of him to ask even though I don’t really get a say in it.
Anyone have any experience paying for groups like that? I assume at least one parent was there, probably a dad, unless the mom just left those kids on the mountain to get her boots fitted.
So I just got a rental for the season, and it was not the best experience ever lol. When I asked about changing the angles of the binding, the guy told me to just remove them... Alright fair enough. The thing is these things are glued so hard I'll have to tear them off in small pieces... Is that absolutely necessary? And if yes, what is the name of that part, can't find replacements on amazon...
Thanks
They said their mom and their siblings were somewhere else on the mountain. Could barely understand them because their lips were blue. Skill patrol has been called and is looking for some dude as well.
I started back 3 seasons ago after a decade+ long hiatus. When I went back I was talked into getting a Burton and of course some channel specific bindings. Now I feel like I’m stuck unless I want to start over, which is expensive. I’ve been wanting to get some step in bindings because I’m getting old but I’m not sure what’s compatible anymore. Can I use Supermatics if I get an adapter disk? Is it safe?
I’m 5’10 170 and want a board for jibbing. I live on the east coast in pittsburgh PA. I don’t care about jumps and want it more for jibbing and buttering. I really only wanna spend $500 max but would be open to other options if it’s really worth the price. I want a board size 152-153-154. With a flex of 4-5. Would love some recommendations!
5 kids with this woman and she puts our kids in the most fucked up situations. She gets guys to fly her and the kids out to ride but this is the first time they've been truly scared. I'm 1000's of miles away and scared for my kids!
