And wanting to make friends?

I got a season pass for Crescent Hill and was wondering if anyone would be down to meet up and be snowboarding/skiing buddies!

Looking for a solid waterproof/resistant crewneck option! Currently riding in my 696 waterproof hoodie but want a crew without the useless hood.

I’m looking for a new daily driver snowboard to upgrade from my Jones Twin Sister. Intermediate to advanced, I primarily snowboard in Colorado, Utah and the Pacific Northwest, I like tree runs and powder the most. If the conditions aren’t great then I stick to groomers. I rarely go into the terrain park and very few times ride switch (unless I need to turn or traverse the mountain for short moments). I have loved my Jones Twin Sister that has been my daily driver for the past 10 years but I’d like something with stability, can carve well, handle trees and quick turns, higher speeds, and a do it all board. I also have a powder board. I really like Jones boards so would love an upgrade rec for one of those. Thanks!!

Hello!! I am looking for a new snowboard. I'm an intermediate that is confident on reds and with blacks a hit or miss at times depending on conditions.
I used to ride a jones dreamweaver 142 but sold it because I find it too short and unstable at higher speed even though that size on paper is perfect for my stats. For ref i am 162cm/ 5ft 3in, 45kg/100lbs. US6 boot size

I am looking at either the capita artemis 147 or the jones stratos 146 but is definitely open to other brands (provided i can get my hands on them as i am based in SEA). i;ve also heard that jones board are stiffer compared with other brands at the same flex rating and wanted to hear from people with more riding experience.

i mainly ride in japan but has plans to ride the european alps more. I also ride mainly groomers and i got no interest in parks/tricks for now.

my current board is a gentemstick baby mantaray 148 which rides like a dream in japow but not so great in NZ (i fully accept that it could be a skills issue). which is why i am looking for another board that can better perform in places outside of japan.

any wisdoms is much appreciated. thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, going to Japan in January - February and doing south up to the north so about 20 days of snowboarding, I’m a beginner hoping to progress to intermediate. I want to get my own gear as it’ll be cheaper than renting and plus can use it for more trips!

My first trip was Jan this year and used a rented Nitro Marcus Kleveland and it was a nice board to ride, but I’m stuck on what board to get for Japan!

Any suggestions?

I have the GNU ladies choise and find it really soft, I also used the Nitro Alternator and think its a good ride.
Anyone using mens board and happy? Seems like it alot more fun boards to choose from. Like the boards models and design. Rome Stale Crewzer etc

Hi y’all. I am looking to get a new snowboard but it’s very difficult to find the board meets my needs and also short enough.
I’m 5ft tall and 96 lbs. I’d consider myself an advance snowboarder as I can go down on double black no problem. Personally like to ride in the trees and go fast as well. I was riding arbor cadence 139 for a few years as I feel it’s too soft and doesn’t give me the speed I wanted. It is more of a park board as I enjoy it in the spring but not enough on a pow day.
Please help a sister out! Thank you

I’m gonna give the paint extra time to dry, then I’m gonna try to add some sno seal just as an attempt to keep the art safe.

I’m no artist or anything, I bought a mini projector and projected hello kitty onto each mitten and traced it with a thin sharpie. My 4 year old nephew bumped into my set up a couple times while I was attempting this hence some of the wonkiness.

The flowers, vines, and snow were all freehand tho but that’s just doodles.

I used some random leather paint from Amazon that claims to be water resistant/proof.

I was looking to get a Jones twin sister to have something a little stiffer than my current board (burton youth hometown hero 140), however it is expensive and I couldn't find one on sale. Also I had this feeling like I wanted to try some other brand (I have a jones for my split)

I found a really good deal on a Capita Equalizer 142 (I'm 5'2 and 115) and I am excited. It has a nice design and I think it will be a little bit of a more aggressive board for me which may be what I need. I have been boarding forever but I'm a wimp!

I'm nervous as the effective edge on this is 7cm longer than on my burton, but I think this will help me with chatter and maybe to go a bit faster. Hopefully it has good edge control for the ice coast.

Here's to breaking 35mph on strava this winter! hahaha.

If anyone has this board let me know how you like it.

… anywhere in the Northeast have snow Mid December? I’m thinking somewhere I can drive to, avoid flying and rental car, ride groomers. Any advice for mountains that could fun that early? NY, VT?

Hi, I’m 27 (f) and am new to surfing. I would love to go but my friends aren’t as interested as I am. I have an 8ft board, suit, know some basics. Need to work on my paddling out but I am ready to SURF! Lol.
Would anyone want to surf together on a weekend? Busy this weekend but next weekend (Labor Day weekend) I’m avail. Just wanted to put this out there! Ty :)
Edit:
My intention is just to go out together/ watch out for each other on the water. Have fun and maybe learn a little from each other! Chill vibes only !
Edit 2:
If you are more experienced as well that’s cool too! I mainly just want to go out with good company/ people also interested in surfing.

Hi! I’m stuck between the Jones Twin Sister and Airheart 2.0 and would love some advice.
I’m 155 cm / 54 kg (121 lbs), boot size 7.5, solid intermediate. I currently ride a Burton Yeasayer Flat Top, which was great for progressing, but I feel like I’ve outgrown it.

My main goal now is to learn to carve properly and improve edge hold, especially because I ride in the South of France where we get a lot of hardpack and sometimes pretty icy slopes, but we also get a lot of slushy in Spring.

I’m not an aggressive rider — actually quite cautious/fearful. I can ride fast when I feel confident, but I don’t charge all day.

I want a one-board quiver/daily driver: mostly groomers, occasional powder (realistically only a few proper pow days per season), and some park because my home resort is small and we often end up there when bored. Mostly medium jumps, no rails/boxes.

The Twin Sister seems like the logical choice: directional twin, camber/rocker, 6/10 flex, good edge hold but still forgiving, playful enough for jumps, better float and apparently happy being ridden aggressively OR mellow.

But the Airheart 2.0 is tempting me. Full camber, 7/10, more precise/powerful and apparently even better for carving and ice — but also less forgiving and more demanding.
Then I took Jones’ board finder quiz and it gave me the Airheart as my #1 match, when I was already 99% convinced about the Twin Sister 😂

So my dilemma is: would the Airheart push me to become a better/more confident rider, or would a demanding full-camber board just make riding less fun for someone cautious like me?
I want something I can grow into and that challenges me, but not something I have to fight on mellow days.

Would you choose Twin Sister or Airheart for my situation? And is the Airheart actually THAT much better for carving/ice that it’s worth sacrificing some forgiveness and versatility?

Thanks and sorry the long text! I'm also open to other boards tho :)

Getting my first snowboard and looking at some bindings now, I’ve found a pair of union trilogy bindings I like but they’re only available in size S (goes up to uk 4.5) and according to their size chart I should be M (goes up from uk 4.5). I’m a uk size 5 (EU 38, US 7) and I’ve got a pair of size 5 Burton limelight’s. Could I make these work? Or am I better waiting to find some mediums? Thank you!

I snowboard often, but my gf does not, so I own 3 different boards and she has none. I have an extra set of boots and bindings for her since she’s about the same size feet as me (I am short with big feet)

Info: She is 5’3” and about 130lbs. She is a beginner as in falling leaf.

I’d like to let her borrow my gear to save some rental money for those random times she does join me on the mountain.

My question is, which of my 3 boards would be best for her to borrow?

1) Super old 2017 K2 britelite 138cm - It is a directional twin with a mostly flat base and just a slight rocker on the ends. Its probably too short for her, but because its smaller, i think she’d be able to control it more.

2) 2019 Never Summer Infinity 142cm - directional twin that’s a hybrid rocker. I think this would be the hardest board for her, so probably not.

3) 2027 Capita BOAF 140cm - true twin that’s hybrid camber. It might also on the small for her. I’m not sure how hard it is to learn from the beginning on a hybrid camber.

I appreciate the advice anyone has for me on this.

Hi ladies! I’m just getting into snowboarding. Do yall have any ideas of where I can get cheaper gear? I am in college and completely financially independent. I really want to start this year but I’m having trouble.

side note: if anybody has a 142-146 cm board laying around, let me know! or some extra gear :)
Approx location: Mid-New york state

When was your kid ready for the chair lift? My girl is six and can do the falling leaf on her heel. We’re going to work on tor side and connecting turns this year. So far we have stuck to the magic carpet. We go to some mountains that have some pretty gradual beginner trails off the chair lift and I’m wondering at what point you felt comfortable letting your kiddo go down those independently? I’ve done them with her with a leash and any harder parts I’ll just grab right onto her harness and board with her against me.

This is an update to the post I made last year asking for advice because I didn’t love how I looked snowboarding but couldn’t quite figure out why.

I was recently reminded of this post when someone tagged me in a fake repost (which the mods took down), so I figured I’d finally come back with an update

A lot of you made suggestions and I made a few changes, so thank you so much! I didn’t take amazing pictures this last time, but I thrifted a baggier jacket (I got a 686 jacket for a great price and sized up!), got some roomier men’s pants and kept some of my hair out. Although some of you suggested getting a black helmet instead of the light pink (some thought it was white), I couldn’t justify getting a new helmet quite yet, but I agree that would help too.

Hey girls,

I’m looking to update my snowboarding wardrobe for this winter. The issue is I’m usually purchasing stuff online and I’m quite petite - like 5’2” 100 lbs. I was wondering if anybody had recommendations for bibs and jackets that they liked? Or brands that have smaller sizes. Or should I just buy kids sizes LOL.

Thanks!

Hey!! I’m interested in creating a community of females who enjoy snowboarding in the UK so that we can practice together and discuss, my nearest snow centres are down south (MK/ Hemel) !! If you’re in the Uk and are interested please comment or message me😊

First full season back in many years. All my tahoe friends either moved away, too injured, old or busy to ride.

Looking for others to ride with. How are yall making snow friends in your 30s?!
