Why Should I Buy a Snowboard?

Investing in a snowboard can significantly enhance your mountain adventures, especially if you're a frequent visitor. Owning your own snowboard grants you the freedom to customize it precisely to your preferences. Selecting the right length, width, and design tailored to your riding style can elevate your snowboarding experience. Additionally, opting to buy allows you the unique opportunity to choose the graphic and design that resonates with you, unlike when renting.

Finding the Perfect Snowboard for You

When it comes to selecting the ideal snowboard, there are four main categories to consider, each optimized for different mountain terrains. Additionally, there are kid-sized options available.

All-Mountain Snowboards

Ideal for versatile performance across various snow conditions and terrains. Offering superior control and grip for carving on groomed trails, with the capability to handle some off-piste adventures. This category is well-suited for beginners and all-around snowboarders.

Freeride Snowboards

Designed for optimal performance in deep powder, while still capable in firmer snow conditions. Typically featuring a directional shape for superior flotation in deep snow, including powder-specific models.

Splitboards

Tailored for off-piste adventures in the backcountry. Splitboards conveniently split in half to function as skis for uphill climbs and seamlessly reconnect for downhill rides. Recommended for experienced riders, requiring special bindings.

Freestyle Snowboards

Also known as park snowboards, perfect for enjoying snowpark features and jibbing. Offering versatility akin to all-mountain boards, typically featuring twin tips and a shorter length for a playful riding experience.
