Find the right length
As a general rule, if you stand a board on its tail, the nose of the board should reach somewhere between your nose and chin. You can use brand size charts and recommended rider weights to get more precise.
Choose between different types of snowboards
The right type of board depends on what type of terrain and snow conditions you plan to ride in. Your choices include all-mountain, freestyle, freeride, powder and splitboards.
Understand camber and rocker
Camber and rocker describe the curve of a snowboard when you look at it from the side. There are many different profiles.
- A cambered board rises up in the waist (midsection) while the contact points rest on the ground near the tail and tip/nose. These grip well on hard snow, provide control at high speeds and deliver a lively, stable ride. Experienced, speed-oriented riders favor cambered boards.
- A rockered board has upturned tips and tails. The design excels in powder or when jibbing or riding rails in the park. They tend to have a surfy feel that offers easy turn initiation, making them popular among novice riders.
Classic skis or skate skis?
- Classic skiing uses a back and forward motion similar to walking.
- Skate skiing resembles the movements of a speed skater.
Get the right ski size
Find the ski length recommended for your body weight. Factor in skill level too. Longer skis tend to be faster. Shorter skis tend to be easier to turn on and control.
Do you want to tour or race?
- Classic touring skis are best for groomed tracks.
- Race and performance classic or skate skis are best for groomed tracks but built for faster skiing than classic touring skis.
- Metal touring skis are made for skiing out-of-track or on steeper terrain.
