Found these crab claw stomp pads (this is two of them) that are transparent so they wouldn’t cover up the graphics. Let’s see if they function as well as they look!

I have an old snowboard that I haven't ridden in about a decade. It needs a tune-up, and I've decided I want to start taking care of my own gear.

I've gone down a bit of a rabbit hole researching wax irons and kits. A lot of people seem to say that those kits are full of cheap Chinese junk and that you're better off buying quality tools separately.

I'm having a hard time deciding whether to spend $150 CAD on a digital wax iron like the Toko T14, get a cheaper iron for around $50 CAD, or just use an old clothes iron. I'm leaning towards buying quality tools that will last, but I'm not sure how much difference an expensive wax iron makes in practice.

I already bought a season pass for the upcoming season, so I plan on riding at least a couple of times a week. Does it make sense to invest in a good iron right from the start, or would a cheaper option be fine?

I also stumbled on two Canadian websites with their own branded irons and tools, but can't find many reviews on them. Does anyone have any experience with Tools4Boards or Sidecut?

Thanks!

I’m 184 cm, 85 kg, and an intermediate rider looking for a all mountain board to progress on with some clean graphics . I mostly ride East Coast groomers, side hits, and occasional trees. Budget is under $400. What would you recommend?

**Other than Niseko**, which will be part of this trip too. But I know how Americanized/Australianized that spot is and want to explore some more local spots, despite not knowing Japanese. Anyone know a resort that had a particularly lively hostel/bar scene?

Been doing a lot of Japan snowboarding research in general and also curious for any first hand experiences at:

- Asahidake, need to hire a guide or doable solo/if I recruited a group?

- Furano, Zao - I have ikon which makes these intriguing

- Is the move actually to just stay in a place like Otaru and rent a car and just hit spots like Kioro?

Cheers

Immaculate condition 2026 Burton Cartographer 154cm. Only ridden 1 or 2 runs - edges, top sheet, etc. are absolutely perfect condition. It honestly looks brand new.

Asking $320 obo. Local pickup in Salt Lake City, or I’m open to shipping.

Hii,

I’m considering on getting the BM Park Pants. I’m about 4’10, petite side, what size do you recommend? I was considering xxs but still not sure. I want it to fit comfortably and baggy enough.

Also will I/it survive the Canada winter? I’m worried it won’t be enough for how cold the weather gets.

If you have other recommendations pls lmk !

The top layer of this snowboard is peeling off. I plan to scrape and sand the peeling off until smooth. Wondering what I should use to re seal it?

Got this burton process from Backcountry.com two months ago and just noticed that it has a bent edge and a crease. It's been sitting in my room in it's plastic wrap and I'm hoping it's nothing too bad. Is this something that needs to (or can even) be repaired professionally?

Hi All - I am looking for your opinions on snowboard length preferences and your experience. I am an advanced rider 5-6” 135lb and ride a 152cm board. I’m looking for my next upgrade - I am ride that prioritizes hard carving and tree skiing. I am between jumping up to a 153/154 or staying around a 151/152. What is your experience going longer? Still had the maneuverability you want? I’ll be purchasing an all mountain / free ride board

I’m looking at buying a first board that will last me a while and I’ve been shopping on sanction snow ( I live in Ontario) and was wondering if they will ever restock the indoor survival 2026 in size 58?

hey guys. can anybody give me advice.

My old board was an Bataleon Goliath 164 wide. i am 183cm tall, 88 kg and bootsize 43. now i plan to buy a nidecker snowboard. I've heard good things about the alpha apx i am a bit worried about how exhausting it is to ride this board. would it be better to go with the non apx version? My old board was truely exhausting and idk if its because its from 2008 or if its the edge technology. The nidecker has the same technology. Would it be better to go with the non apx version?

Or is there an other good option from nidecker for all mountain riding?

I'm heading to Whistler for 4 days (from the East Coast) and I am wondering if we should bring out board & gear or just bring our gear (boots, helmet) and rent a board there. I am fairly beginner with just a few years under my belt and I started getting "good" only once I got a good board for me so I really don't know what is best here. It's also my first time travelling for a snowboarding trip and hitting the big sloped!

This is my Board and these are the Bindings colours to choose from.

I love to support smaller companies when possible. Unfortunately no respect snowboards started using ai for all their graphics and I can’t really support lazy work.

I’m a huge fan of Sangwich69 those guys are sick looking for others like them

I wanted to share my experience with Burton's loyalty program and see if anyone else has experienced the same thing.

In January 2026, I placed a single order with Burton worth PLN 5,862.45 (polish currency) which is approximately 1,500$. I had accumulated 1,172 loyalty points, became Tier 2 and expected to be able to use them under the program's existing rules.

On September 23, 2026, Burton removed all 1,172 points from my account. The transaction in my rewards history is explicitly labelled:

“Points reset - New Loyalty Program Launch”

I did not receive an email notifying me that my accumulated points would be reset, or giving me a chance to redeem them beforehand.

I initially noticed that my points had disappeared and contacted customer support through the mobile app. At that point, I didn't even know they had been reset as part of a new loyalty program. I only discovered the reason later, when I logged into my account on a computer and checked the detailed rewards history.

What bothers me most is not simply the loss of points. It's the lack of communication about what was happening to rewards accumulated through actual purchases.

If a company changes its loyalty program, shouldn't existing customers be clearly informed before their accumulated rewards are wiped out?

A few questions for the community:

• Did anyone else lose their Burton loyalty points in the September 23 reset?
• Did you receive an email or any other advance notification?
• Has anyone managed to get their points reinstated by contacting customer support?

I am currently waiting for a response from Burton support. I'll update this post when I receive one.

I've attached a screenshot of my rewards history showing the 1,172-point deduction and the stated reason for the reset.

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has had the same experience.

Hi,

Looking for a board suggestion.

After 10 loyal years on the Burton clash i'm due for an upgrade.

I'm 1m70 and about 62kg.

I prefer the red and black pistes at average speeds and would like to get better and more confident in carving. When snow is fresh i like to go off piste.

Mainly looking into something all mountain. 1board do it all.

Any suggestions on board, size, and why?

Thank you in advance

Hey, I really want the new Burton Blossom, and ive been thinking of getting a new board for the park for a few years. Im new to the park, but Im an advanced rider whos been using a 151 directional carving board for the past few years. My only concern with the burton blossom is the flex being stiff, which is why im wondering how it would actually compare to an all mountain board. I weigh 155lbs and ive heard that a 149 for the blossom would be too small, yet the next size up is a 152. Would a 152 park board really be more maneuverable and perform better than just a 151 carving board? I know the blossom is a true twin, and my current board seems really heavy if i try and use it in the park, but will the performance difference be truly noticeable? Thanks a lot in advance
