Don’t Put Away the Boards
There’s still tons of snow left in the mountains, all you snow-loving, winter-avid fans. Don’t put your boards away yet, and hold off on the spring tune-ups for next year. You will want to keep them out for at least another month as the ski season comes to an end. I know for me, I have been up three times this year already, and it’s been a great experience being able to take a break from busy classes. Consider checking out some good deals on snowboards, too. Sleeves, waxes, etc, will all be on sale as spring starts to roll around and new stock comes in. Here is what I would do for the last of the ski season:
- Lookout for deals. They will be all over the place and will offer you a good way to get some nice gear. Online sales are especially good at this point, too.
- Start looking at deals for waxes and edge sharpening services.
- Keep up on the maintenance of your board and start to inspect the bindings and straps. If you have toe and ankle straps, inspect the plastic pieces where they are screwed onto the binding. The constant bending can cause them to snap. I know, trust me.
Besides that, keep looking for clear skies, huge air, and great powder. See you on the slopes!
Here are some good deals I was able to find on bags, bindings, and a snowboard. The snowboard is a freestyle snowboard, so you are looking at tougher and less flexible materials. Definitely semi-pro/intermediate riders. The bindings are men’s LTD Men’s LT250 Snowboard Binding, and would look great with the board. Then you have the standard bag to stuff it all in.
