How to Get Your Snowboard Ready for This Season

It's that time of year again and you are preparing to make the trek to the mountains. These next few simple steps will make sure your board is ready for gameday!

Things You'll Need

• Snowboard, bindings, stomp pad and a leash.

Instructions

1. 

   Fist off start with the bottom of your board(the side that touches the snow all day). Look to see if there are any major dents or scratches as this will directly impact your speed and peformace on the mountain.

2. If everything looks alright then you are good to go. If you do have large dents and scratches to your board you will need to take your board to a local snowboard shop and have them resurface the bottom of your board. It's worth the money!

3. 

   Now make sure to tighten all the screws that are being used to hold both of your bindings in. Usually long cold rides to the mountain can loosen bolts, so always check right before you ride.

4. Then make sure all the little bolts on your bindings are safely secure and tightened as well.

5. Now its time to make the ultimate decision of the day. What kind of wax to use? This will primarely depend on the conditions of the day. It's always best to ask your local board shop friend to see what they prefer.

6. 

   When waxing your board make sure to wax in circles and to wax the entire board.

7. Now got hit the powder!!!!!!!!!!!

Tips & Warnings

• Have fun and be safe.

• Very important, don't over tigthen the binding bolts that you strip the thread on the screw head.
