I just bought a new Mercury, last seasons model, and this will be my first season riding. I’m trying to figure out what a good starting angle on my bindings would be. Should I duck foot it or set it to somewhere around 15/0. Thanks in advance.

Recently happened to my snowboard wondering if it’s a core shot if so how long could I ride it before getting it fixed

My buddy and I are doing some street for the first time soon and trying to figure out the best way to get speed, we live in the prairies so there’s not much hills here😭 Anyone have any advice?

Been doing this for 12 years only to realize I look like season 1 quagmire.

Giggidy.

Trying to plan a solo trip somewhere for a week in January any opinions and budget friendly. I already have the epic local pass. This would also be my first solo trip.

I found a great deal on a brand-new 2018 DOA for $150 CAD. I’m debating whether to stick with it or spend more for the latest model. Are there significant differences or major technological upgrades between the two?

Hey everyone, first-time poster here. I’m a 5’10”, 150-pound male with size 11 boots. I’ve been riding a 164 snowboard for four seasons now. While I’m very comfortable and fast on it, I’ve started noticing it feels a bit big and hard to be agile.

I’m planning to upgrade to the Lib Tech T-Rice Pro and am debating between the 157 and 159. The 157 seems better suited to my size, but I’m worried it might feel too small compared to what I’m used to. What do you think?”

I’m hoping to reconnect with a "Jess" (or Jes/Jesse)—pronounced like the first part of Jessica. He’s 46, an avid heli-boarder, a Columbia grad, and lives in Chelsea.

We crossed paths recently, and regrettably, I wasn’t able to give him my number at the time. He also happens to have a brother who’s an accomplished snowboarder, featured in a winter sports magazine.

If this sounds familiar, I’d be truly grateful if anyone could help me reconnect. I’d love the chance to continue our conversation about EDM and snowboarding! 🏂

I had about 15 days on snowboard. I can now comfortably cruise down most runs except in some black runs where it is still sketchy and awkward.

I am 181cm 82kg (5'11 180 lb), now on a Hulk Knife 159 (bought this after 2 days on a rental board, friends told me I should have picked a shorter version even I am way over weight for it). I don't plan on doing complicated tricks or enter a park any time soon. I just want to cruise down the groomed runs with good stability maybe do some not too aggressive carving when the conditions allow for it. I do ride switch just for a bit of fun but it only contribute to a small fraction of the total time riding.

We don't have proper backcountry terrains locally, and very rarely we can have a few hours of powder before it's all messed up. 99% it's just groomed piste runs, and when it's windy the piste can be quite icy.

I think considering the resort conditions and my intended style of riding, maybe I should look for a directional all-mountain board with 6-8 stiffness rating? Any specific models? Or a mid flex park board like the Hulk Knife I have is sufficient maybe wait a bit before thinking about a new board?

My friend tells me this outfit I chose was horrible. Thought I’d see what the interwebs thought. What say ye?

PS the sweater also lights up.

I know that most of you guys arent doctors but I just want to know if any of you experienced the same thing and what it was. Today I get off the lift on my first run and felt fine. As soon as I made my first turn on my toes I felt a sharp pain the back of my right heel. It was unbearable at first and I barely made it down the mountain. I took a short break and decided to give it a go again. While now bearable it still hurts a little bit and is just irritating. Does anyone know what it can be?

Anyone found a good tool to carry on your person to scrape ice off the bottom of bindings while riding? Was thinking maybe a little plastic chisel or scraper type thing but curious if anyone does this or has any other ideas. Appreciate you.

Maybe I missed something. But i thought Union bindings are made in Italy. Did they recently change to China?

Figured some of you may have participated in one before. Looking for tips be successful/ not come in last. Always enjoyed watching them, but my kiddos want to do it this year.

Can you wax the bottom?

Hey! I have a 2 year old who has the riglet snowboard by Burton. I need to put boots and bindings on it, he is a size 5.5 in toddler shoes. Any recommendations?

Thanks to everyone who recommended a replacement for my ridden once warpig I didn’t love. Rode the Mercury today for the first time in pretty difficult uneven slushy conditions and although I got bucked around like a 225lb ragdoll, I really enjoyed its flat ground playfulness and performance in the terrain park. Will have to get out on some harder groomer conditions to really lay into some carves but pretty please so far.

I'm in CO and looking for advanced riders who want to give me tips on jibing / buttering. I've been riding over 20 years and feel I'm kind of at a plateau. Would like to get more style under my belt. Looking to go most Fridays, I'll drive!

Hey folks, I’ve recently bought a new board and am looking to upgrade my bindings aswell

I’ve fallen in love with the look of the Bent x Lib Transfers but when I look around online the reviewers cant seem to agree on if it’s a playful medium flex binding that feels great in the park and the groomers, or a stiff hard-charger that’s freeride ready. I’m wondering if anyone here has experience on them and would love to know what your thoughts are and what board you had them on.

For reference my new board is a jones Tweaker, and I’m looking for a mid-flex park binding that I can also take advantage of on the rest of the mountain. My most likely alternative if I don’t go with the Transfers is likely the Union Stratas, although I’m also open to other recommendations.

Thanks!

Hey guys!

I'm relatively new to snowboarding and just started last season for a few days. I loved what I did do and so I got a sundance season pass since I'm in Provo and its close enough to do a ~2hr trip midday without messing my schedule up too much.

My dad taught me the basics, but that basically entailed only heelside. So now I just snowplow my way all the way down the mountain and struggle with manuverability and to get through cat tracks.

I was looking at the sundance website and their snowboarding school is like $450 for a private, which is quite a bit for what I assume are average teachers.

Just curious. Does anyone on here teach or know anyone that could teach me how to figure out toeside, J-turns, and S turns? So far this season I've been using youtube videos to learn, but having someone in-person would be much better.
