Everything about snowboarding!
As soon as the first snowflakes fall every year, all you can think about is the moment on a snowy mountain in winter? Just thinking about trying it for the first time? Here you will find the necessary equipment and tips!
Snowboard Boots
Snowboard boots provide warmth and comfort to your feet when you're on the board. Choose them carefully based on their size and flexibility.
- If you wear a large size in boots, meaning above 44, choose a wide board for more comfort.
- There are 2 ways to fasten the boot: BOA and regular laces. BOA is a much easier and faster way to tighten your boot compared to regular laces.

Equipment
The right equipment provides you with safety to reduce the risk of any injury.
- We recommend step-on bindings for boots, so you don't have to bend down to tie them after each lift.
- Choose the length of your board based on your height and weight. An easy tip to remember is that the height of the board should reach up to your shoulder. Generally, the shorter the board, the easier it is for beginners!

Snowboard Clothes
Wear the right clothes to keep your body warm and avoid hypothermia. Start with a thermal base layer, then a lightweight inner jacket, and then a jacket with pants or overalls.
Don't forget thick socks and warm gloves!

- Braking is important. Remember that the brake is perpendicular to the downhill. Use your feet to create resistance and stop.
