After years of hitting the slopes and learning things the hard way, I'm breaking down exactly what you need to pack. The Core Gear Checklist Your riding experience is only as good as your gear prep. Here's what you absolutely can't leave behind: Your Board Setup: Beyond just the board, make sure you've got your bindings properly mounted and tightened. I once showed up to Mammoth Mountain only to realize my binding screws had loosened during travel - rookie mistake that cost me half a day. Boots That Actually Fit: Not your buddy's boots, not your old boots that kind of work - you need boots that fit perfectly. Nothing ruins a pow day faster than feet that are screaming in pain by lunch. Check out the latest snowboards from DC and Anara here Layer Up Like a Pro Here's my tried-and-true layering system: Base Layer: Get yourself moisture-wicking thermals. Cotton is your enemy on the mountain - once it gets wet, you're done. Mid Layer: A good fleece or puffy jacket that you can remove if you get too hot. Outer Layer: Waterproof jacket and pants. Don't cheap out here - being wet and cold is the fastest way to end your day early. Check out the latest snowboards from DC and Anara here The Small Stuff That Makes a Big Difference These are the items most people forget but make a massive impact: Hand and Toe Warmers: Trust me, these are worth their weight in gold on those brutal cold days. Tool Kit: Multi-tool, extra binding screws, and a wax kit. I've saved countless trips - both mine and others' - with these basics. Proper Socks: Specific snowboarding socks. Not your gym socks, not your hiking socks. The right socks prevent blisters and keep you warmer. Check out the latest snowboards from DC and Anara here Protection Isn't Optional Let's get real about safety: Helmet: Non-negotiable. Your brain is kind of important. Wrist Guards: Especially if you're newer to the sport. The most common snowboarding injury is wrist fractures. Impact Shorts: Your tailbone will thank you later. Check out the latest snowboards from DC and Anara here FAQ: Your Burning Questions Answered Q: How many pairs of gloves should I pack? A: Always bring two pairs. One can get wet, and your backup keeps you riding. Q: Do I really need goggles if it's sunny? A: Absolutely. Snow blindness is real, and goggles protect from wind and debris. Q: What's the deal with helmets - can't I just wear a beanie? A: No way. One bad fall can change your life. Helmets are non-negotiable.

The night before your trip: Lay out all your gear Check the weather forecast Charge your phone/camera Pack snacks and water Double-check your checklist Remember, proper packing for your snowboarding trip isn't just about bringing stuff - it's about bringing the right stuff. Pack smart, ride hard, and make memories. Check out the latest snowboards from DC and Anara here   Like Comment Restack   © 2025 the snowboard blog 4800 Baseline Rd, Boulder, CO 80303 Unsubscribe
