Snowboarder? Welcome home. We’re a team of riders and instructors who were sick of bad advice, so we built this site. Here you’ll find snowboarding tips and detailed gear reviews - all tested by our team. Whether you’re dialing in your first setup or swapping out a well-loved quiver, this side has you covered.
But first, introductions...
Hi, I'm Mike. I’ve spent years working in board shops and watching people buy the wrong gear. I don’t want that for you. I’ll tell you what actually works on snow and what doesn't. If it rides like trash, I’ll say it. I'm also a certified snowboard instructor.
If you’re new here, start with one of these.
1. Get Your Size Dialed
Board too long or too short? I built the calculator after years of watching people buy the wrong length in shops. It takes about 30 seconds and gives you a proper starting point.

2. Find Gear That Works
If I would not ride it, it does not get recommended. I test boards, boots and bindings properly before writing about them.

3. Chase New Lines
I ride a lot of places. I take notes. Then I tell you what was worth it and what wasn’t.

Skier, huh? Fair enough. As shop techs and qualified ski instructors, we’ve seen loads of bad advice online. So we keep things simple here. You’ll find ski size charts, boot fit guides, gear breakdowns and travel notes. Just practical advice from people who spend a lot of time on snow!
But first, introductions...
Hey, I’m Jess. I’ve taught enough lessons to know most ski problems start with the wrong gear. Boots that crush your toes. Skis that fight you every turn. DIN settings set so low they pop off when you don’t want them to. I’ve seen it all. I'm here to provide honest advice so you can find the perfect setup and actually enjoy skiing.
If you’re here, you probably need one of three things. Sizing. Gear. Or ideas for where to ski next.
1. Get Your Ski Length Sorted
Too many people pick ski length off height alone, then wonder why it feels sketchy or dead. The calculator gives you a sensible range fast, then you can tweak from there.

2. Get Boots and Bindings
Most problems on snow start at your feet. I focus on fit first, then what actually changes performance, and what's just marketing.
