I like the black with a little white design on these Montec bibs, but $240 is a lot for a college kid. Anyone know of any similar dupes? Or should I just bite the bullet and buy them?

I used 21/6 last season and loved it. But I read many forums where some people (soft boot, not hard boot alpine) say they use 30/15. These are old posts so don’t want to stir up the styler pot. Hence my post. Anybody here experimented with posi angles? What are pros and cons of going extreme in Posi-posi? Thanks for tops.

That many of you are going to get lost on your home mountain because google took away some lines on a map. You really should pay more attention to your surroundings so you’re not a liability to your crew.

I am at the high end of an intermediate rider and was wondering which all mountain freeride board I should choose. I am debating between the Capita Mercury, Korua Otto, Capita Aeronaut, and the Yes Standard UNINC. Was looking for a board that can carve, handle pow, and hit jumps or occasional park laps. Help me choose which board to get for the next season. Also open to well priced boot/ binding suggestions. Help appreciated.

Help please so torn can’t pick. Board is 255 ww

I have only previously ever snowboarded in the south east but am going to Colorado for the first time in January. When snowboarding here it gets quite hot some days where I sweat but very cold at night so the jacket I use is something in the middle that I can layer underneath. It has done me well and I have not frozen however I am worried it isn’t enough for out west.

I am wondering if I should go for the a jacket on the extremely warm side as I do get cold easily but I also am afraid of getting too hot when moving a lot. I have considered just a shell with layers but don’t know how well those really work. I want to hear from others who spend time out west and what kind of jacket you find is best.

Picked up a few boards over the years, what do you think?

Im buying this board for 270 with bindings and I thought it was good but then I saw the scratch and I need to know if I should go lower on price or not buy at at all

Trying to decide between these two board. I have a 161 Golden Orca and I’m looking for a short fatty for deep pow and trees. Which board would you recommend?

Planning a trip to Livigno + one good snowpark in another resort in northern italian alps and wanted to know if it will be crowded in 1-9 march 2025.

Like many countries in Europe, in Italy, the most popular periods for ski holidays typically align with school vacations and public holidays, and in this week there's Carnival school holidays (they call it Settimana Bianca or White Week).

I've checked and that region (Lombardy) doesn't have holidays this week. However, many other regions especially in the north seem to have school holidays.

Anyone that went to Livigno or other northern Italy resort that can provide me their experience?

Just bought last year’s Hometown Hero 156W—do the Malavitas, Genesis, Cartels, or Cartel X’s (all EST) make the best pair?

Looking at taking advantage of Ride's Black Friday sale and eyeing a 2024 Algorythm 161 with C8 bindings. I'm 6'2 180lb with size 9.5 boots. I should be fine according to the size chart, but wanted to see some feedback before pulling the trigger. This would be my first board purchase, usually a renter.

I'm a solid intermediate rider and spend most of my time carving blue/black groomers. Closet mountains are Mammoth/BB. Not really interested in park riding, but definitely looking to progress into nailing side hits and maybe even the occasional butter. I've checked out Angry Snowboarder's review but hoping for some more tailored opinions. Cheers

I’m a beginner from the PNW hoping to grow quickly from skate/surf background, and i’m not much into flat or rocker boards. I’m just skiing mainly resort and jumps and not much pipes as well, which also takes flat or rocker out of my question. I understand Camber may be difficult to grow into, but I want to grow into it’s agressive style of boarding. RCR is just fine, but I would prefer Camber recomendations that aren’t too stiff making them a little more forgiving even for someone still growing. I also heard Arbor’s are easiest to learn on, but more specifics would help me a lot. Thank you

Pulled the trigger on a new board. It exceeded my expectations. Super fun and playful. Easy to ride switch and butter and charges hard thru groomers and crud. Holds edges like super glue. Not much open at winter park but still fun to play around. Cannot wait to see what this board does in steep tight trees and deep pow. I'm on the never summer ride and it's my first. Usually go the Jones route but this is a nice change.

Hi everyone, this year i’m going to be instructoring part time at Big Boulder/Jackfrost, and Camelback Mountain in Northeast PA. I’ve never instructed before but have boarded for a few years now and honestly really want the free passes/perks and just to spend more time on the mountain. I was curious what days i should work to maximize money as an instructor. I’m only planning on working two days at both resorts. If anyone has any tips or experiences lmk!

I found online an used 2012 Forum the Spinster with new Nidecker Elle bindings (I think they're from 2010). The set is for 175USD, which I don't suppose (?) is a good deal for a board that old and the bindings don't seem all that good. The board is in good shape, ever so slightly discouloured and a couple of shallow scratches on the back but in general looks almost new. The thing is I absolutely love the design with the cat which is the reason I am seriously considering getting it. It would be my first board, I've been snowboarding for almost 10 years now but have always been renting, at first because I was still growing and later just never got around to actually purchasing one as they're really expensive and I had a 3 year old break. I now wanted to get a used board to cut the costs but wanted to finally have my own board, I do have my own boots tho. I know I could probably get a newer one for the price but it's really the design I can't get over, please let me know if it's a good board and an acceptable deal, from what I've heard the brand was big in the 90s, I don't know if they're still talked about. Also, I ride in Europe and often have icy conditions, I mostly just go down the mountain but sometimes hit the park though I can't really do tricks, I just do jumps but would love to learn more. You can let me know if it would be a good board for me as I don't know a lot about boards, always just rode what they gave me at the rental, any other recommendations would also be appreciated.

Thanks!

Bought a fusion pass on the last day of the first tier (couple weeks ago). I havent gotten it yet but I want to go up this weekend. Anyone know when those come in the mail?

Hey so I bought some North Face Build Up pants for when I go snowboarding and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on them or have had any experience with them. Looking at the reviews, people mentioned wearing a base layer for when they went and I have mens thermal pants. Will that be enough for if I want to go down slopes in Tahoe or Colorado? Any feedback will be helpful, thanks!

Curious if anyone could point me in the right direction here for my Mega Death purchase!!

I’m 6’1” and weigh roughly 175 pounds. 11.5 size boots and I ride with Burton step ons size large. idc about the step on hate, and neither does my nonexistent back pain. : ) thank you for any insight!

Is this board as good as the 1.0? Anybody ridden both? I’m 160# without gear and 6’ and am eyeing the 160cm.

Right now I ride a wide board, that's just what I found on marketplace didn't think much of it.

Found a great deal on a board I really like but it's not the wide version, the width is 25.8 whereas my current board is 26.3

Will I notice a difference? Is this not wide enough?

Is this a good price

My 16 year old son bought himself a season pass to Mt Shasta ski park (his little brother as well). He has snowboarded in the past, but it has been a few years since he had some it with any regularity.

He is a good football and basketball player and a very good track runner, approaching elite). He is 5'7" and 135lbs (going up weekly with weight room work).

He and I are splitting the cost for a snowboard/bindings/boots set-up. He wants to be an all-mountain rider, hitting powder, carving, and park riding.

Can you recommend him a snowboard brand/model and size.

I am looking for a ski resort with housing. Any recs? I have been applying to a bunch of places. Am I too late in the game? I am itching to get out of the east coast this winter and head out west. I have no school or job right now so I figured this is the perfect time.
