I’m beginner to intermediate rider they both I feel like fit my riding style the best. I’m 6’2 170lb size 11 boot I ride 156cm but they only make the nitro in 156w should I get the wide or do a 158cm?

Living in Canadian rockies and looking to buy my first powder board.

Currently have a Capita Mercury 159 and K2 Afterblack 157. Keeping both so looking for a powder specific board, don’t care about ‘less than ideal’ conditions as I’ll have the others to ride.

I’m 188 / 6’2 tall and weigh 85 / 185. The only powder board I’ve ever ridden was a 159 Nitro Squash which I loved, but have no real point of comparison.

I’ve been recommended the Nitro Squash and Dinghy but no idea really what I’m looking at. Any recommendations would be appreciated!!

Hi folks, I am from India and plan to learn snowboarding in Gulmarg in February 2025. Seeking help on following:

1. Any good agency contacts, that can handle all bookings as a package.

2. How long should I plan the trip for, to ensure I reach Phase-1 atleast once? I am a fit guy, go to gym often, and also do Yoga sometimes.

Anything else I should know about?

considering buying this board as it’s listed for a great price for never being used but i haven’t heard much in the roxy brand. would love some insight on what you guys think

To anyone out there looking for a last minute board, Ridee just started a huge sale on their website. For instance you can get this ride zero (great begintermediate board) for CHEAP! Just thought I'd let people know

Most of the more popular boards are only available in the smallest or largest sizes only, but there are deals to be had

Heeey, just looking for some advice. Buying a new board this season. Used to be on the Feelgood Burton 142 and spent 4 seasons on it. I’d say I’m an intermediate rider but always chasing the snow. On the west coast and up to Alaska snowboarding. Someone recommended the Hometown Hero board but only comes in a 144. I’ve never rode anything but my FG 142. Think I will feel a lot of difference? Also if any of you have recs on a board or have rode that hometown hero board I’d love to hear your thoughts! Thanks

So I’ve been snowboard once last year and I was out all day. By the end of the day I felt like I was getting the hang of it pretty easily. I could carve, switch edges and do little Ollie’s. It was fun! This was all with a rental setup of course. I’m planning to get into it for real this year and want to get a proper setup. Here is a list i have come up with. Keep in mind I’m not Jeff Bezos and can’t comfortably spend more than 1k

• snowboard: Rome Agent

-bindings: Union strata -boots: ride rook

• helmet: has MIPS

-goggles: smith scout

I saw there was a chamber mount for the bindings for like $20. Do I need to get that as well or can I just use the mounts that come with the bindings themselves? Also do I need anything special to wax my board? And how often should I?

Hello, I have two daughters (8 and 11). This is our second season boarding. They took lessons last year and can do falling leaf great. They can get a lot of speed and can almost go straight down on either side, however, I cannot get them to go toe side consistently.

I'm just curious to know how big of a problem this is and if I should be trying to correct it sooner than later. I feel like they are going to be able to ride switch this season which is something I don't do well or often. I don't think that is a problem but it makes me wonder if I should be trying to get them more confident on their toe side and linking turns.

Anyone else go through this?

Hey, i just found a great deal on a 2023 Nitro T1 158W, at only 170$ (New). Last year was my first season of hitting the park almost every day (and improving a lot) since i got a season pass. My previous board was a 157 Burton Ripcord. Im 16, weigh about 73kg (160lb) and are 182cm (5'11). My shoe size is 44.5 and thats why i think the wide will fit me better. Do you think this board is gonna fit me/is there a different learning curve to camber boards compared to flats? Thanks in advance.

Has anyone purchased from this seller? 5’9” 185 on 159cm

Always give thanks to the ones getting us up there 🤘🏼

Need to buy new boots and different boot suits different ability level (I don't know exactly why though)

Most are beginner or intermediate or advanced-expert

Looking at a pair of advanced-expert but didn't know if I'm good enough/if I should

In my mind I'm knowhere near advanced but looking at the internet advanced feels much lower skill level than I would say. Not counting switch or park because I will never do that I can bomb reda and go down blacks comfortable with some speed but not bomb them, I'm more off piste than on and there's knowhere I would hesitate to go and in my mind my level is "I can ride but I'm not good" but looking at the internet I feel like I might be advanced

Is advanced really that "bad"?

Bonus Q: how are freeride boots when on the piste?

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?

I am torn about travel times now!! Please help…

I have a ticket booked for late Jan to Tokyo. 3weeks backpacker accommodation various locations.

I want to also take a 12yo snowboarding with me there and was thinking mid Feb would be a good time to go with him.

My question I guess is should I change my plans and fly over next week if I can get accommodation for a week or two check it all out get my bearings etc, then go back a second time in Feb with my boy??

Thoughts, tips and advice appreciated in advance

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. Hoping to buy used!

Hey everyone, I have a Capita DOA that is 150cm. Just recently I learned about sizing and weight. The recommended weight for the 150cm DOA is 110 - 150lbs. I weight at 176-180lbs... will I be okay or should I trade it out? This is my 2nd season. I mainly do carving and jumps, a small amount of boxes and hope to get into a lot more lark riding.

so i originally wasn’t going to ask for advice but today i tried skiing for the first time (on a dry slope also) today and it harder than i thought because i literally know nothing about how to ski but by the end i started to get my balance. i think it was just kinda hard for me to control two massive sticks on my feet at the same time 😭 so if anyone has advice for the first time snowboarding on the dry slope that might be helpful pleaseee lmk😭🙏

Hey, I hope some of you guys can give me a little buyers advice on a new snowboard for my sister.
As Black Friday rolls in I am looking for a good deal on a new Snowboard. She never had an own snowboard nor boots/bindings but now after almost 10 years of riding she decided to buy her own stuff. She would say that shes a advanced intermediate Rider (Scale 6 on this website: https://snowboardingprofiles.com/what-are-the-snowboarding-skill-levels-discover-yours) and almost always rides on Ski slopes (I guess she never has been off slope since there was too little snow).
In the moment she really likes the Burton FT Hometown Hero + Step On Bindings (Escapade and Felix Shoes) because of the look. I am also considering the Burton FT Alekesam with same boots and bindings.
Thank you in advance!

A few years ago I went snowboarding for the first time and was instantly hooked. I was underweight and spending hours in the gym every day and it was still pretty tough on my body. I went probably 5-6 times total, then I got pregnant and had a baby so I haven’t gone since. Now I’m overweight and not in shape but recently getting back into the gym. What should I focus on in the gym to help me be strong and in shape for when snowboarding starts in about 6 weeks?

It’s my first time owning a set. I know you mess with the tab or whatever is on the back of the high back to adjust the lean on it. I do like it a little more forward to help bend my knees.

I was mostly seeing if it matters if the snowboard boot heel is touching the binding base? I only tried this with the boot in the binding and noticed it. Since the high back is so forward lean it makes the heel of the boot lift an inch off the base.
