Reasons to Purchase a Snowboard

Investing in a snowboard can be quite rewarding if you are planning frequent trips to the mountains. It allows you to have the exact type of snowboard you desire. Selecting a board with the ideal length, width, and one that aligns with your riding style can significantly enhance your snowboarding experience. Additionally, you have the advantage of picking the graphic and design on the snowboard, an option unavailable when renting.

Which Snowboard Suits Me?

There are four categories of snowboards available. Each style is crafted for different areas of the mountain. Children's snowboards are also available in appropriate sizes.

All-Mountain Snowboards

These boards perform excellently across a variety of snow conditions and terrains. They offer you complete control and stability while carving on the piste and can tackle some off-piste snow at the edge of the slopes. They serve as a great choice for novices and all-round riders.

Freeride Snowboards

Perfectly suited for deep powder, yet they can manage some firm snow conditions. Typically, they have a directional shape for superior flotation in deep snow. Powder snowboards belong to this category as they share numerous similar traits.

Splitboards

Crafted for off-piste snowboarding adventures in the backcountry, splitboard snowboards split into two and function as skis for ascending uphill, then reconnect for descending. They require specialised bindings and should be used only by skilled riders.

Freestyle Snowboards

These, often called park snowboards, are designed for enjoyment in the snowpark or jibbing at the side of the piste. They offer versatility akin to all-mountain snowboards. Generally featuring twin tips, they tend to be shorter for a more playful sensation.
