I’ll tighten them the night before, ride on them, and by lunchtime, my bindings will be rotating +-3 degrees from center. Has happened to two different bindings on one board, so it’s the boards problem, but everything looks fine? It’s a 2024 model k2, so it’s not age-related. Any thoughts?

Hey, I'm planning to snowboard in Japan next January/February and would like some help narrowing down destinations!

I went to Hakuba this season and enjoyed it, although getting around was annoying (I didn't have a car) and there weren't many areas with easy tree riding (most tree runs were steep and relatively dense, and I'm just getting into tree riding).

The main things I'm looking for are:

1. Affordable accommodation that's walking distance from slopes - i'd rather not have to drive/take a bus in the mornings if possible.
2. A decent amount of terrain for intermediates to advanced. It would be nice if there are some easy tree runs (not the "steep and deep" stuff people usually look for) that don't require backcountry/off-piste experience.
3. A moderately big mountain - I plan to be there for 5-9 days. Could split this up into 2 mountains too i guess.

Nightlife, a bustling town, and proximity of other tourist attractions isn't a priority for me.

So far from my research it seems like I'm looking for a more traditional Japanese resort like Shiga Kogen. If anyone has other suggestions besides that, i'd love to hear them!

Thanks!

Looking for suggestion. Just bought step on Burton boots online and I noticed same boot however different flex. I bought 5 flex and I notice they have same boot but a flex of 4 to 7. Looking for recommendations on what flex I should get for her?

Her skill level is good. All mountain

A friend of mine convinced me to give snowboarding a shot three years ago (well, skiing but I disappointed him and switched), and until now I have had an Epic pass each year.

This year, my brother and I are planning to visit Whitefish Resort, because we both love the Glacier area and the price doesn't seem too awful. I also want to visit Ski Santa Fe, mostly just because my wife and I love that city and go most years anyway; this year I'll just bring my board with me!

Are there any other resorts that you would recommend visiting in the pass-less season? Or am I making a mistake and need to go buy an Ikon pass (that's what my friends are doing htis year) instead of trying to wing it?

Top of a big mountain

Donner tunnels California

just found this one , ok condition. is it a a good board?

From left to right, most pow to least pow needed to ride: cardiff carbon goat, elevated surfcraft goldfish, burton hometown hero, lib tech golden orca, lib tech t rice pro.

I'm wanting to make a move from NC to either CO, Montana, or Utah. anyone got any recommendations on most cost efficient mountains to move near in those areas? Somewhere that's got a decent cost of living, not gonna be stuck in traffic all day trying to get to the resorts, mountains with intermediate to advanced terrain that's not gonna have 30 minute lift lines all season.any suggestions?

5’9” 130 lbs male

Capita outerspace living 152 (all mountain)

Capita mega mercury 153 (groomers)

(Just ordered) Capita ultrafear 147 (trees and park)

Am I thinking of this right? I started with the outerspace and upgraded to a mega merc for stability at speed on faster runs. It does great. But then I noticed how less playful and forgiving it was vs the outerspace and figured to go the other direction and get a reverse camber for when I want to go slower and do tricks with a shorter board. I also think it’ll make tree runs easier, which I like going slower on and being nimble with.

The merc is my camber, the outerspace in the middle and the ultrafear is my rocker.

Thoughts?

New rider but progressing quickly and enjoy doing butters and cruising casually down tree runs and moguls. Just ordered the shorter ultrafear for this purpose.

Feast ur i’s

I hope some one has them both, or at least you have both K2 and Capita boards.

My first powder board is Jones Hovercraft, I have to say it's a great board, floats really well, but it's way to hard, I can not twist it for turn and it's very hard to ollie. And official site says the flex of this board is 7 ...

My second powder board is Korua Dart, great board too, flex is pretty soft and I like it, I can twist my board for small turns, and it can hold me when I was carving. But the down side is, I still can't ollie on it because it basically has no tail. And because of the tail, it's little hard to ride straight on groomer, when I was trying to hit a jump.

I think I started with Hovercraft was a right choice, because I was new to powder, and I don't wanna get stucked in the deep powder. But after few years I think I can ride pretty fast and jump off some small cliffs, so I wanna buy a new board that can ride deep powder and also can do some ollies and jumps in the park.

Had a good time last season in Furano Japan with Dart, the only thing I feel bad is, I can not feel the pop of the tail when I was dropping off some small cliff or jumping from pillow to pillow. So I browse a lot, and I narrow it down to K2-Instrument and Capita-Aeronaut.

The only thing Im afraid of is, Instrument's flex is 7, I know flex scale is different between brands, but I don't wanna get another Hovercraft. So if anyone can tell me, what is K2's 7 equals to Capita's scale, will be great. because I have a capita Scott Stevens Pro, which is flex 5, so I'll have some idea about the flex.

And the only thing Im afraid of Aeronaut is, maybe it's not float enough for deep powder, I know pros ride park board in powder, but I'm not that good. good thing is, this board's flex is 6, compare to my Scott Stevens Pro, I Think I can handle it.

Any advice will be appreciated!

anyone ride both Whistler & Laax and have any estimate of how BUSY Laax is in comparison?

Whistler-Blackcomb gets pretty retarded. curious if Laax is anywhere near the same, still somewhat busy but not that bad, or fairly quiet relatively. (i.e. liftline lengths mornings of pow days, on weekends, how fast pow gets tracked out, etc)

What up shredders! I’m planning to move to Bend by the end of year and looking to get a new pow board for PNW snow. Thinking about mega merc or kazu kokubo pro. Currently have a resort twin as daily driver but definitely want a dedicated pow board. Used regular merc for a season before it was a great all mtn deck but I wasn’t really thrilled with its performance on deep pow. Anyone used both and could share some opinions? Thanks!

Trying to book for Baldface Valhalla next season. Anyone has done it before who wants to share their experiences?

I know they said ability should be advanced to expert. I've done a cat skiing trip in Hokkaido and have ridden waist deep powder a lot. Also comfortable riding trees, chutes and small cliffs. So far I've done 70 days of riding this season regardless of conditions..

Have anybody here been to Ruka Ski Resort in Finland and can give me tips??

Hey everyone, I just was wondering what people think and if any of you have advice for me. I went snowboarding 3 times this season and I INSTANTLY fell in love, by day three I had hit a few small jumps and was starting to feel really good on both of my edges, the overall vibe of everyone and everything was amazing. I wanted to come everyday but there was a couple issues, I lived way to far to commute to my local hill and the hill is not that great. When I looked online at all the amazing mountains around the world I was falling more and more in love with the idea of moving out to one. I live in Canada so I'm being drawn to whistler. I've kind of made up my mind at this point, and the goal is to move out before the end of next season. I'm not wealthy by any means so I'm pretty much gonna be roughing it out there, looking for spare rooms and working as close to the mountain as possible.

If you have what gear do you use that’s the lightest?! Went for the first time yesterday in Tahoe backcountry.. 70 pound bag = death lol

I’m from Nashville, visiting Denver for the week. While at a brewery having drinks and dinner and listening to live music, this lady comes by and hands me a raffle ticket. She says they are going to raffle off some snowboarding gear. Didn’t think much of it until they were drawing tickets and they called my number. I won a collab Never Summer board. It’s freakin sweet! How would you get it home? Ship it or try to carry it on a Southwest flight? It’s just the board in plastic, no bindings. I appreciate your thoughts!

Any of you ever rode the slopes in Andorra? What was the experience like? I havnt heard much about it, it looks incredible
