How to Choose a Snowboard
Born to surf deep powder snow, snowboards have morphed into supremely versatile winter adventure tools. You'll find them sliding rails at the snow park, ripping descents through fields of pristine powder, carving corduroy at eye-watering speeds or tackling technical lines on the high peaks of the Himalaya. Part of the beauty of the board is the relatively short learning curve. Normally, two to three days is all it takes for a new snowboarder to experience that "ah hah!" moment when you gain a sense of stability and make fun turns. Snowboards are unsurpassed for stability and their ability to float through challenging snow. Their expansive platforms are ideal for enjoying deep snow and wet spring corn. So get on board, get in the fall line and get ready to grin.
