Snowboard Brands

Snowboards are built for many different types of terrain and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Whether you're a park rat, a big mountain hound, taller or shorter we’ll help you find the right snowboard that fits you and your style of riding. Nothing’s worse than riding a narrow board with a size 14 foot on the best powder day of your life.

Meltdown Tip: Bigger isn’t always better. It's much harder to learn to ride on a longer board than it is on a shorter board. Get a board that fits you and your level of riding. You will progress much quicker this way.

Snowboard bindings are designed to transfer your energy directly into the board. Big mountain riders often choose a stiff binding which limits movement and maintains energy flow during large turns and carves. Freestyle riders often prefer a softer binding that bends and shifts with the movement of the body when performing tricks. Snowboard bindings don't fit all boots; it's a good idea to get a boot and binding combination that compliments each other.

Meltdown Tip: Loosen and slightly rotate the highback so that it runs parallel with the heel edge of your snowboard. This allows for your boot and leg to cover more of the highback, increasing responsiveness.

Snowboard boots are your friends. They are the most important piece of equipment when it comes to putting in a full day on hill. A warn down boot with a lot of movement results in having to work harder to get the board on edge. When this happens fatigue sets in much faster. A new pair of boots will improve your riding and allow you to last a lot longer on the hill.

Meltdown Tip: Unlace your boots down to your ankle when hanging out in the chalet or walking around the village. Excessive walking in tightened boots breaks them down much quicker.
