Moosejaw Summer Clearance Sale. Free Shipping on Orders Over $49!

Well the snow has melted and summer is here… some folks may be lucky enough to still be getting turns, still others may be lucky enough to have a trip booked to some exotic summer snowboarding destination, but for the rest of us it is the end for half a year. Somberly, we put our boards to rest knowing only hot unpleasantness awaits.

One question many people have is about ways to properly store their snowboard. While uncommon, improper storage over long periods of time can make your board virtually un-rideable. Not to fear! Here are a few things you can do to keep your snowboard fresh, lively and ready-to-go the second you get the call that the season is on again.

Alpine sports involve a lot of dangers and this is why protective gear is highly recommended by all instructors. Not even “experts” at the field of snowboarding are exempt from needing to wear helmets to protect themselves, because the sport can be quite risky. The parts of your body that need protective equipment covering them from accidents during snowboarding include the head, the wrists, and the tail-bones. Also, the boots are important, so ensure that yours are well fitting and feel good on your feet. Your boots shouldn’t impair any type of movement, but should still fit snugly just below the knee.

Preparation

These are simply tips, you don’t necessarily need to be religious about preparing your board for storage. One thing I recommend is at least waxing your board. Before you wax your board, it’s helpful to either remove or loosen your bindings to keep the inserts from pulling through as the base is heated… put them aside, it’s better to store your board without the pressure of the binding screws. In waxing your board, remember that you are not going to scrape! Leave a nice layer on to seal the pores and keep the base lubricated and protected.

If you live in a particularly moist/humid area or your only storage option is such a location, your steel edges will have the potential to rust over a period of time. Spray some sort of oil, like WD-40, on a napkin and give your edges a good wipe. That will keep them fresh and rust-free.

Program Design
It is important to keep in mind that while there are a lot of cool exercises and workouts that will transfer to your abilities on the slopes, the only way to consistently make progress is to track your workouts and gradually manipulate the training variables (exercise selection, tempo, rest, sets, reps). With the industries explosive growth, athlete with the most talent, most commitment, and best programming are the once that are going to excel both on and off the slopes
