Steamboat - Ski Town, U.S.A.®

STEAMBOATCOLORADO, U.S.A.Seven thousand feet up in the Colorado Rockies, nestledquietly below one of the largest resort mountains in NorthAmerica, sits a vibrant community that serves as a constantreminder that the Old West is alive and well.

Whether you're stepping foot into a local pub, one of the charming boutiques, or stepping

off the gondola, the reception is the same: genuine and warm. With 165 trails, 3,668

vertical feet, and nearly 3,000 acres of terrain, Steamboat’s six peaks are filled with world-

class groomed cruisers, bumps, steeps, meadows, legendary trees and four Terrain Parks.

Our obsession with skiing and snowboarding is something we like to share. Known

around the globe for the deep, untouched powder that collects between the tall aspen and

evergreens, It’s so different that the phrase Champagne Powder® snow was coined right

here to describe it. And with more than 10 metres of the deep stuff annually, Steamboat

never has to worry about fresh powder.

After a day on the mountain, take a dip in the Hot Springs and you’ll think you’ve found

the fountain of youth. Enjoy a stroll down Lincoln Avenue where you’re sure to feel the

essence of Steamboat’s down-home western hospitality. Steamboat also boasts a variety of

lodging options and more than 100 bars and restaurants, as well as a great variety of off-

slope activities.

From a pioneering frontier community, Steamboat has grown into a world-class resort,

and having sent more athletes to the winter Olympics than any other town in America,

has earned the moniker Ski Town, U.S.A.®

Get a face-full of Champagne Powder snow, a boatload of western hospitality and

We will also give you 25% off a One Ball Jay Basic Tuning Kit, containing everythingyou will need to keep your board in A1 condition.

This season we have changed the layout of the TSA board section by arranging it in performance category order. This makes it far easier to selectthe right board as you can now compare different boards from different manufacturers without having to shift backwards and forwards throughloads of pages. We have categorised our range in the following way: Jib boards, Freestyle/All Terrain boards, All Terrain boards, Freerideboards, Powder boards and finally Split boards.It’s pretty easy to get bogged down when looking at snowboards, with so many different profiles and technologies to choose from even the mostknowledgeable rider can easily get lost. Worry not though, to help ensure that you get the perfect board for your particular style of riding we havecome up with an easy to follow snowboard selection tool. By rating 5 simple categories to your own personal riding preferences our BoardSelector tool will help you match you with the perfect snowboard. The Board Selector works by giving each category of snowboarding a mark out of 10, these equate to 1 for “I’m not really interested in that”,through to 10 for “that’s all I’ll ever do”. These scores are then shown underneath each board in the catalogue. If you’re after a board that willdo everything then look for scores that are around the same level for each category. The beautyof the Board Selector is that it lets you fine tune your board choice so you can get exactly theboard that you want and that suits your style, ability level and future aspirations.

So let’s find out what sort of riding you’re into:

Step 1: JIBSo how important is jibbing to you? By jibbing we mean riding rails, boxes andjust playing around on the slope. A high scoring jib board will usually be reallysoft flexing and will have a small nose and tail profile and will generally ride alot looser than any other category. These characteristics give the board a higherlevel of control at slower speeds and also give the rider more feel and controlwhen riding boxes and rails as well as helping the rider lock the board into atrick. In terms of specific performance a jib board is probably the mostspecialist of all boards so a very high scoring jib board will usually compromisea lot of performance elsewhere on the mountain. So if you want to ride rails alot of the time, mark Jib high up on your priority list, if you don’t, mark it down.

Step 2: PARKSo what’s the difference between Jib and Park? Well a few years ago it wasnothing but as the sport has progressed the two have gone in separatedirections. By PARK we mean big kicker jumps, big man made stairsets, fastrun-ins and big solid landings. What this means in terms of the board is thatalthough generally still a twin shape like a jib board, the out and out park boardneeds to be a lot more powerful and a lot more solid. In fact the park board hasshifted in its characteristics closer to what we class as an all terrain boardhence the reason that we now have Freestyle/All Terrain as a category of board.The Park board will generally have a bit more power in the tail to give biggerairs, more of a solid feel underfoot to allow you to stomp those landings. Ifyou’re looking for those characteristics score high, if you don’t ever leave theground and only ride in one direction score low.

Step 3: CARVINGYou could class this as “How the board turns” but that is just too simple anexplanation of what carving is. A better way to describe it is “what does theboard do when it’s turning on its edge”. The way a board carves is dictated bynumerous factors but generally it’s the sidecut shape, the torsional flex and theflex through the length of the board. If these all come together you have a boardthat locks onto the edge and then lets the rider really push energy through theturn to release you out into the next turn, almost the snowboard equivalent ofwinding up a watch spring. If you like to ride fast and spend the bulk of yourtime on the piste then pushing up the numbers on carving will really enhance

your riding experience but bear in mind the higher the number the less playfuland less freestyle friendly the board will be.

STEP 4: POWDERProbably the simplest category to describe, it’s how the board works in freshsnow. A pure powder board will have a really long nose and a shallow tail whichhelps it stabilise in deep snow (the nose comes up, the tail goes down). Nowthis is great when you’re in waist deep snow but that shape doesn’t alwaysresult in a board that rides everything else well. So as with all the categories it’sabout finding the balance about how you’re going to ride. If you only want theboard specifically to ride powder then mark it up, the experiences that a boardwith a 10 for powder will give you will create a very special memory for you;but take that same board out on an icy piste then it’ll still give you a very specialmemory but it’ll normally be one that you’ll want to forget. Obviously there area few exceptions to the rules and the selector will show you which powderboards work well in general riding conditions.

STEP 5: PERFORMANCEAs the name says this marks the performance of the board. So a 10 is a highperformance board, a 1 would be a low performance board (There are no 1’s).So what does this mean? If you are new to snowboarding or want somethingthat is soft and forgiving then gravitate towards the lower figures anything froma 3 to a 5 will give a respectable level of performance but will still be forgivingenough for even the most novice rider. As the scores increase so does theperformance, so if you’re an intermediate to good rider you want to be lookingtowards boards in the 6-7 performance range. Once you get into the higherfigures these boards are true high performance snowboards for advanced toexpert riders, these are usually riders with many years experience who havespent a lot of time on snow. With the performance category it’s vital that youare honest about your ability level, high performance boards take a lot ofeffort to ride and they won’t make you a better snowboarder, in fact it willhave the opposite effect and could seriously reduce your enjoyment.

You should now have a set of figures that match your riding perfectly, if youlook through the range you should be able to get pretty close to matching upyour numbers with those of a board. This should give you the optimum boardfor your type of riding. Once you have done this check your weight against thesizing chart and away you go.

The jib board is the loosest and most playful type of snowboard and isdesigned primarily for riding rails and jibbing off obstacles. With this inmind the jib board generally features the softest flex of all snowboard styles,this makes the board more forgiving allowing the rider to lock the board ontoa rail for increased control and feel. Manoeuvrability and control areimportant factors in jib board design so rocker profiles dominate this sectorof the market as do low profile tip and tail twin tips. The pure jib board isgreat for playing around in the park and on rails but can be found somewhatlacking when it comes to more general riding.

In the past freestyle boards would have had a separate section, but over theyears the freestyle board has evolved both in shape and design as well asperformance becoming a lot more versatile as a result and moving moretowards the catch-all All Terrain category. The freestyle board is generally atwin tip in shape which means that the board is the same shape both at thetip and tail. This balanced profile gives the rider increased control in the airand is also more predictable when riding backwards (switch). The bindingposition can either be centred or set back as can the flex depending on howfar the board leans towards being all terrain. The flex pattern on a freestyleboard is generally a little stiffer than a jib board, usually sitting betweenmid soft to mid stiffness. However high end freestyle boards are normallyquite stiff through the length to give extra power off jumps and kickers. Thefreestyle board is a great choice if you want a board that you can take in thepark but still be able to ride over the whole mountain.

ALL TERRAIN

This catch it all category is as thename suggests a series of boardsthat are designed to handle thewhole mountain. Usually the allterrain board differs from thefreestyle/all terrain board in that itleans slightly more to gunningaround the mountain than it doescruising through the park. Althoughversatile enough to still take into thepark it focuses a little bit more onperformance over the rest of themountain, what you could really callgeneral snowboarding. All terrainboards are usually either fullydirectional or directional twin inshape and flex. This shape meansthat the board is optimised to delivermore performance when travelling inone direction although most allterrain boards are still capable ofriding switch. All terrain boards canbe both rockered and cambered or acombination of the two, this isgenerally decided by personalpreference on what kind of ridingcharacteristics the rider wants.

It’s back! For the past few seasons the Customhad jumped onto the rocker bandwagon butother than keeping with trend, did it do anythingelse for snowboarding’s most famous board? Ina word no! In fact what it did was emaciate thesports greatest ever board. For this season theCustom is back in its full unabashed camberedstate which puts it smack bang at the top of thetable again. The camber has well and breathedlife back into the old girl, it begs you to push ithard and really rewards with a truly stunningride.

Freeride boards are designed to deliver performance both on the piste andin deep snow. They are generally fully directional in both shape and flex andthe binding position is normally set back to let the slightly wider nose comeup in powder snow and also give more drive through the stiffer tail of theboard when turning. The freeride board is normally a little stiffer than itsfreestyle counterpart as most freeriders are looking for more performance athigher speeds. Freeride boards, due to the shape, offer more stability athigher speeds and are designed to deliver unrivalled performance whencarving on-piste. Although freeride boards are happy going off jumps, theirshape and profile doesn’t really lend itself to riding rails and boxes. As withfreestyle boards, freeride boards come in rocker, camber and hybrid profilesbut will generally have some form of camber built into the profile to give thatadded bit of performance.

As the name suggests, powder boards are designed to deliver maximumperformance in deep snow. This means that they are generally fullydirectional with a larger and wider nose profile than tail. This allows theboard to float in deep snow whilst the rider’s binding position is set back onthe board to help keep the nose up and reduce fatigue. Powder boards (witha few exceptions) due to their extreme shape and design, are generallycompromised when riding anything other than powder so are normallybought as a second board. Their performance in deep snow is so muchbetter than a normal board and delivers one of the sport’s best eversensations, so they are becoming more and more popular. As float is the keyin powder boards, it is most common for them to feature some form ofdirectional rocker or other kind of profile shaping to help get the nose up.

Split board touring is one of the fastestgrowing parts of the sport. More andmore people want to escape the hustleand bustle of the piste and want toexperience the adventure of going deepinto the backcountry. The split boardrevolution over the past few years hasseen the performance levels of theequipment raise dramatically making itboth easier and more fun to access thebackcountry. Split boards are availablein a wide variety of shapes and designsbut generally they all do similar things.A split board is a snowboard that issplit in half down its length, this allowsthe board to be used as ski’s with skinsattached (to stop the ski slidingbackwards) for ascending andtraversing unrideable terrain. When therider wants to make a descent theboard is then fastened back togetherwith clips at the nose and tail. Splitboards use an interface with thebindings that allow the bindings to beused both as a ski touring binding anda traditional binding. When purchasinga split board you need to buy skins andthe binding Interface although mostbrands now offer everything in acomplete kit.

Backcountry Safety Equipment: Neil McNabOne of the greatest risks we face when riding off piste or out in the backcountry is thatposed by avalanche. The majority of avalanche victims are caught in avalanches thathave been triggered by themselves or their companions. Statistics show that in theevent of an avalanche burial, the buried victim’s greatest chance of survival is to belocated and uncovered within 15 minutes. With the average call out time for an officialsearch and rescue team to arrive on location and begin searching at around 30 to 40minutes it is apparent that the avalanche victim’s greatest chance of survival is throughan efficient and rapid search and rescue operation provided by the victim’s properlyequipped and prepared companions on location.The minimum requirements for riding in the backcountry are a transceiver, shovel andprobe. Don’t venture out there without them!Transceiver. An avalanche Transceiver is a transmitter and receiver set to a commonfrequency of 457kHz. In the hands of an experienced and practiced user an avalanchetransceiver can be a very reliable and efficient method of locating buried avalanchevictims, (also wearing avalanche transceivers) and in the event of an avalanche burialit is by far the victims’ best and often only chance of survival. Modern digitaltransceivers provide information on distance, direction and even identify how manyvictims are buried and where they are individually located. These new models aren’tfool proof however and practice is as always the key. The real event of an avalanche isnot the time to try out your transceiver for the first time. A transceiver is only ever asgood as the person using it. Shovel. Most shovels are collapsible, extendible and fold to a compact stowable size.Always carry your shovel blade and handle inside your backpack. Metal shovels arefar better than plastic. Probe. Probes are easily collapsible and extendable poles used for locating a buriedavalanche victim before the shovelling begins. A practiced probing pattern should beused rather than a random attack of the victim’s signal location. Again, keep your probeinside your backpack and not on the outside!

Travelling In The BackcountryWhilst some nice off piste snow can be found via a quick duck under the boundaryrope, accessing the mountain’s true backcountry terrain is normally slightly moreinvolved and hiking equipment is necessary for either access or exit and probably both.There are currently two options:Snowshoes. In the Alps where above the tree line the mountains are steep and barren,a strong rugged set of snowshoes with good crampons underneath are required. Metalcrampon spikes and rails underneath are essential for climbing steep slopes and fortraversing on an angle and a heel raiser is useful to eliminate calf burn on long ascents.Split Boards. The advantages of the split board are numerous when it comes totouring out into the backcountry. Not carrying your board on your pack when hikingand no need for snowshoes on your back when riding are the most obvious but alsothe ability to slide your feet rather than lift and step when breaking trail through deepuntracked snow make the distances you can cover for less effort a major advantage.The whole set up process for touring or back to riding can be performed withinminutes. The new technology split board is rapidly becoming the backcountryenthusiast’s most essential weapon.Trekking Poles. A pair of collapsible walking poles is essential kit for a day in thebackcountry and often useful for pushing on long easy angled valley exits or shorthikes were snowshoes aren’t needed.Backpack. There are many snowboard specific backpacks on the market designed forthe different aspects of off piste and backcountry riding. My advice is to think simpleand light. Your pack needs to fit your kit inside easily and carry your board effectivelywhilst being snug to your back and comfortable to wear. If you’re going to carry adrinking bladder make sure the tube is well insulated or better still inside the sleeve ofyour backpack shoulder strap. Blow air into the tube after drinking and pay attentionto it in cold extremes.

Black Diamond Avalung II £119.99In an avalanche scenario time is life. The Avalung II provides the user with the potential to breathe fresh air

directly from the snowpack, buying you precious time if buried by an avalanche. Additionally by divertingexhaled air away from your fresh air intake zone the Avalung prevents suffocation through carbon dioxidecontamination, considerably extending the time your partners have to locate you.Code 222522

Choosing a binding generally comes in a distant third whenlooking at new kit. Most people spend an age researching theboard and then the same trying on different boots, after that it’snormally a case of “that will do” for the binding because itmatches the board. But that approach does a huge disservice towhat really is one of the most important parts of a set up. Thereality is, this simple bit of plastic is 100% responsible fordelivering the input from the rider direct to the board, get thiswrong and that input is broken and no matter how careful youwere in choosing the rest of your kit the simple truth is that it isn’tgoing to work properly. When choosing a binding take intoaccount what board it’s going on, how responsive you want it tobe and what type of riding you will be doing. In our descriptionsfor each binding we have a tech spec section, cross referencethis with the technical glossary below to help you understand theperformance characteristics of the binding.

BASEPLATEPolycarbonate: This basic material isgenerally used in bindings that areaimed at riders who want a moreforgiving ride. Polycarbonate canundergo large plastic deformationswithout cracking or breaking.Glass Reinforced Nylon: By combiningshort fibre glass with nylon you cancontrol the stiffness of the baseplate.The % of glass dictates the stiffness.This ranges from 10% to 45% with45% being the stiffest. Anything over45% renders the material too brittle.Carbon Reinforcing: This generallyreplaces the glass fibre content of thebinding with carbon fibres increasingboth response and control.Aluminium Heel Cups: These aregenerally added to bindings where theBaseplate is adjustable for length.Power Ramps: Increase the footprint ofthe binding by sitting underneath thetoe of the boot. Power ramps increasethe response speed by picking up theweight shift of the rider earlier.Footbeds: Are generally formed fromEVA and normally cover the baseplateof the binding under the boot. Theirmain objective is to isolate the bootfrom vibrations coming through thebinding which can cause foot cramps.Baseplate Bushings: Bushingsnormally serve a couple of purposes,the first is to add another level ofvibration dampening whilst the secondis to soften off the edges of the binding

to try and reduce core compression inthe board’s core which can result instructural damage to the board.

HIGHBACKSPlastic Make Up: This is the same as forbaseplates, a polycarbonate highbackwill be soft and forgiving whilst the30%, 45% and carbon reinforcedhighbacks will increase in stiffness.Urethane: Mainly aimed at freestyleriders, urethane highbacks have a reallysoft torsional twist whilst still beingsupportive with direct pressure. Thismakes this material perfect for riderslooking for mobility on rails or in the air.Asymmetric: These highbacks arespecific to the left and right foot. Theyare designed to work more efficientlythan a standard symmetric highback bybeing able to pick up the rider’s energyshifts earlier.

STRAPS3D Straps: By stitching the strap fabricin a specific way you can create a 3dimensional shape. The advantage of3D straps is that they sit over the bootbetter increasing comfort and reducingstrap pressure.Cap Straps: These are designed to sitover the front of the boot, they help pullthe boot back into the binding heelcupand reduce pressure over the front ofthe boot.Combination Straps: These can beused as either a cap strap or atraditional over the top of the toe strap.

There is a saying out there that goes something like this “you can’t reinvent the wheel”.For the past 30 years or so that saying pretty much dictated snowboard binding R&D. Lookat a snowboard binding from 30 years ago and there really isn’t that much difference to asnowboard binding of today. But, out in the deepest backcountry recesses of Canada therewas one man that didn’t take stock of that. Secretly working away in his shed waslegendary snowboarder JF Pelchat, and unknown to anyone was that JF was about tounleash what you could easily describe as the biggest evolutionary step in snowboardbindings since the highback. We could end the story there but we won’t because like allthe best stories this one takes a few more twists and turns. Once JF had his prototypebuilt he took it around all the snowboard brands but door after door was shut in his face,recession here, stock market crash there, no one was willing to commit to something sorevolutionary. It was at this point JF gave up and stashed his revolutionary binding awayin his garage to gather dust. Now this is where our story takes a strange turn. For yearsour hero’s binding sat there alone on a shelf, forgotten. Until one day after a chanceconversation JF’s prototype ended up on the feet of one of the world’s best and well knownriders. That rider took a run on JF’s prototype binding and at that point everythingchanged. Well our mystery super star rider was so blown away by JF’s binding that hegave it to another of the world’s best rider who feeling the same gaveit to another of the world’s best riders and so this wenton and on. In no time at all what was once anabandoned dusty prototype sat on a shelfbecame the most talked about andcelebrated innovation to hitsnowboarding since the beginning ofthe sport. Now at last after all theseyears and after all the blood sweatand tears that went into thedevelopment Mr JF Pelchatpresents what can only bedescribed as the largest step in theperformance of a snowboard binding.The revolutionary NOW ipo.

NOW IPO £250.00

mail order hotline 0844 499 1414page 028

Binding Type: FreerideThe IPO is the single biggest evolution of the snowboard binding since the very beginning of the sport. Designed to work intotal harmony with the rider’s body it optimises weight transfer and shifts energy to the board unlike any other binding on themarket. Built around a revolutionary central kingpin baseplate design the IPO’s innovative design allows the rider to transfer100% of their energy direct to the edge of the board. This massive increase in forces creates a binding that delivers a level ofperformance that is light years ahead of even the stiffest traditional two strap design. In fact the IPO is so efficient that NOWhas had to find a way of reducing the energy transfer as it would make the whole set up too responsive to ride comfortably. Itdoes this by fitting soft dampening pads onto the Baseplate which cushion the foot unlike any other binding; delivering a levelof comfort that up to this point has only been dreamed of. In addition to this the binding is so efficient that the high back isnow redundant so it can be very easily removed for a more surf inspired ride without compromising one bit of performance.The IPO is a totally stunning binding that will revolutionise how we look at snowboard bindings and what we expect them todeliver.

OUTSOLE The outsole is the layer in direct contact with theground. The outsole may comprise a single piece, or may be anassembly of separate pieces of different materials. MIDSOLE The layer in between the outsole and the insole that istypically there for shock absorption. Different companies usedifferent materials for the midsoles of their boots. Some bootsmay not have a midsole at all as the outsole is a single piece ofdampened material.EVA CUSHIONING EVA Is one of the materials popularly knownas expanded rubber or foam rubber. It is used as a shockabsorber in boots.AIR POCKET These are usually cassettes formed by creatingpockets of air and are normally inserted into the heel unit of theboot to offer additional dampening and shock absorption.ARTICULATING CUFF Allowing the upper and lower zones of theboot to flex independently creates fluid forward motion, minimizes

shell distortion, and maximises heel hold and response.BACKSTAY Reinforcement of the spine of the boot, this preventsthe back of the boot collapsing and increases response.ZONAL LACING Allows the upper and lower sections of the bootto be laced independently of one another. Allows for the rider toobtain the optimum fit.INTERNAL HARNESS This is usually in the form of a lace upharness stitched to the inside of the upper and mid part of theboot shell. It helps retain the liner and allows for a moreintegrated fit between the inner and outer parts of the boot.3D TONGUE By forming the outer boot tongue from a variety offabric cuts it is possible to form a 3 dimensional shape, this sitsover the foot better and is also less likely to distort which cancause foot pain.EYESTAYS Lacing eyestays help create optimal leverage as youtighten your laces.

Boots! If you snowboard then you know how important it is to get them right. 8 hours on the hill with footpain is enough to put you off snowboarding for life. If you’re new to snowboarding then this will be yourmost important purchase! Bear these very important guidelines in mind when buying boots:

• Make time for trying on many pairs. Don’t come in 5 minutes before we close and buy thefirst pair you see.

• Different brands will fit differently. Even different models of the same brand can differ inwidth or flex.

• Just because you’re a 9 in your work shoes, it doesn’t mean you’re a 9 in every snowboard boot. When you come into one of our stores we will have a look at the shape of your foot. Is it wide? Do you have a high instep? Ourexperienced staff will give you a head start on which boots to look at first. Remember though, it’s fit first people! Boots arehidden away under bindings, pants and snow most of the time, so they rarely make an appearance anyway. What kind of bootdo you need? You need a boot that reflects your riding and the rest of your set up. A super soft boot inside a super stiff bindingis a mismatch in our opinion. If you’re just learning you may prefer a softer, more forgiving ride. If you ride fast or need moreankle support you may prefer a stiffer boot. But at the end of the day it’s best to have a chat with us, try on different boots andget them expertly fitted to your feet… it makes such a difference! To help you to understand our boot range we have given eachboot a description of its use and also a performance rating, these will help you decide if the boot suits your own riding style andalso give you an idea into how responsive it is. 1 for soft and forgiving 10 for aggressive and responsive.

Boot Type: Freestyle/All Terrain Performance Rating: 5The Aura steps up the performance a few notches from the Encore creating a responsive and dynamic

all terrain boot that will suit any rider who is looking to take their riding to a higher level. The mostobvious difference with the Aura is the use of the Double Boa Closure system. This features 2 Boadials, the first on the side controls the lower section of the boot, and the second on the tonguecontrols the upper section. This dual system allows for independent control of the upper and lower

sections of the boot for optimum fit and comfort. Again using the TriFit X Heat Mouldable Liner withInternal Web Harness the Aura gives superb comfort but with the improved V3 Footbed and theaddition of Sorbathane impact pads in the sole unit and full Instep articulation the Aura not only takes

a step up in performance but also somewhat shifts the goal posts in all day riding comfort. Colour: Black/Black

VANS AURA £210.00

Boot Type: Freestyle/All Terrain Performance Rating: 3The Encore shares much of its construction and performance with the acclaimed Hi Standard; the main

difference though is the use of Boa’s Coiler lace system. This dial closure allows for a super fast andsimple entry and exit which when combined with the TriFit X Heat Mouldable Liner and Internal WebHarness delivers a boot that is not only super fast to get in and out of but which also offers greatcontrol and comfort. Performance wise the Encore delivers a softer and more forgiving feel but like

the Hi Standard it still gives great control and response. This makes it the perfect boot for riders whoare looking to develop their riding skills but who still want a level of performance that you just don’tget with softer entry level boots. (-1 to UK Sizing)

Boot Type: Freestyle/All Terrain Performance Rating: 5/7Want a boot that will handle the gnarliest terrain, the biggest kickers and steepest descents but will still

be able to put it down when you want to do laps through the terrain park? If you do then theAndreas Wiig could just be the boot that you are looking for. This top end boot features Vans’innovative Flex Control System which allows you to choose between a more responsive boot forcharging around or a softer easier going one for more technical riding by simply adding or

removing tongue stiffeners. For this season Vans have introduced a larger flex area in the sidepanels to allow the upper to flex more evenly without distorting; this works in harmony with theQuad X Heat Mouldable Liner and Internal Wrap harness to really lock the foot into the boot for theoptimum control no matter how hard you push it. With the high end V4 footbed you can rest

assured that the Wiig delivers rider comfort like it delivers performance. Colour: Red/Blue

Boot-fitting problems often stem from the foot itself, not the boot. Footbeds eliminate a lot of these issues, dramatically improving the fitand riding performance by supporting the foot structure. This helps muscles to relax and stops them tiring soquickly, meaning there's less movement and rubbing caused by collapsing of the foot. We recommendSidas SUREfit custom footbeds. They provide the support and stability within the boot enablingyour feet to better adapt to the alien environment in which they are placed.

HOW TO PREVENT COMMON BOOT PROBLEMS

SUREfit Custom Snow with Full Finish Stabiliser £87.50This custom footbed provides a medium level of stability and supportthat suits most riders.

SUREfit Custom Snow with Crist'Air Stabiliser £97.50This custom made footbed uses hard foam that is carefully ground and shaped toadd stiffness. It provides a firm level of stability and support to suit riders wantingthe ultimate precision, or for feet that require maximum levels of control.

The jib board is the loosest and mostplayful type of snowboard and isdesigned primarily for riding railsand jibbing off obstacles. With thisin mind the jib board generallyfeatures the softest flex of allsnowboard styles, this makes theboard more forgiving allowing therider to lock the board onto a rail forincreased control and feel.Manoeuvrability and control areimportant factors in jib board designso rocker profiles dominate thissector of the market as do low profiletip and tail twin tips. The pure jibboard is great for playing around inthe park and on rails but can befound somewhat lacking when itcomes to more general riding.

In the past freestyle boards would havehad a separate section, but over theyears the freestyle board has evolvedboth in shape and design as well asperformance becoming a lot moreversatile as a result and moving moretowards the catch all all terraincategory. The freestyle board isgenerally a twin tip in shape whichmeans that the board is the sameshape both at the tip and tail. Thisbalanced profile gives the riderincreased control in the air and is alsomore predictable when ridingbackwards (switch). The bindingposition can either be centred or setback as can the flex depending on howfar the board leans towards being allterrain. The flex pattern on a freestyleboard is generally a little stiffer than ajib board, usually sitting between midsoft to mid stiffness. However highend freestyle boards are normallyquite stiff through the length to giveextra power off jumps and kickers. Thefreestyle board is a great choice if youwant a board that you can take in thepark but still be able to ride over thewhole mountain.

This catch it all category is as thename suggests a series of boardsthat are designed to handle thewhole mountain. Usually the allterrain board differs from thefreestyle/all terrain board in that itleans slightly more to gunningaround the mountain than it doescruising through the park. Althoughversatile enough to still take into thepark it focuses a little bit more onperformance over the rest of themountain, what you could really callgeneral snowboarding. All terrainboards are usually either fullydirectional or directional twin inshape and flex. This shape meansthat the board is optimised to delivermore performance when travelling inone direction although most allterrain boards are still capable ofriding switch. All terrain boards canbe both rockered and cambered or acombination of the two, this isgenerally decided by personalpreference on what kind of ridingcharacteristics the rider wants.

Split board touring is one of the fastestgrowing parts of the sport. More andmore people want to escape the hustleand bustle of the piste and want toexperience the adventure of going deepinto the backcountry. The split boardrevolution over the past few years hasseen the performance levels of theequipment raise dramatically makingit both easier and more fun to accessthe backcountry. Split boards areavailable in a wide variety of shapesand designs but generally they all dosimilar things. A split board is asnowboard that is split in half down itslength, this allows the board to beused as ski’s with skins attached (tostop the ski sliding backwards) forascending and traversing unrideableterrain. When the rider wants to makea descent the board is then fastenedback together with clips at the noseand tail. Split boards use an interfacewith the bindings that allow thebindings to be used both as a skitouring binding and a traditionalbinding. When purchasing a splitboard you need to buy skins and thebinding Interface although most brandsnow offer everything in a complete kit.

SPLITFreeride boards are designed todeliver performance both on thepiste and in deep snow. They aregenerally fully directional in bothshape and flex and the bindingposition is normally set back to letthe slightly wider nose come up inpowder snow and also give moredrive through the stiffer tail of theboard when turning. The freerideboard is normally a little stifferthan its freestyle counterpart asmost freeriders are looking formore performance at higherspeeds. Freeride boards, due tothe shape, offer more stability athigher speeds and are designed todeliver unrivalled performancewhen carving on piste. Althoughfreeride boards are happy goingoff jumps their shape and profiledoesn’t really lend itself to ridingrails and boxes. As with freestyleboards freeride boards come inrocker, camber and hybrid profilesbut will generally have some formof camber built into the profile togive that added bit of performance.

KID’S HARDWARE

Junior boards fall into 2 categories, kid’s boards for small kids andjunior boards for bigger riders. Kid’s boards are generally super softand are designed to make the first steps of snowboarding reallyeasy. They are most commonly bought as a package which comescomplete with bindings and boots although there is now more andmore kid’s boards becoming available that deliver betterperformance for those kids that want to progress their riding. Juniorboards pretty much share much of the DNA of full sized boards justscaled down a little. Therefore there is generally a bigger step upin price when you go to junior boards as they are almost identicalto adult boards.

KID’S HARDWARE

Want to avoid the nightmare of setting up your kids with their first set up? Well lookno further than the K2 Grom Packs. These fantastic set ups contain board, bindingsand boots all in a single box. Each pack is based around a lightweight kid specificboard, either the Mini Turbo for boys or Lil Kandi for girls. These forgiving boardsfeature K2’s catch free rocker to make them super easy to get on with, perfect forkids taking their first steps on the snowboard ladder. Matched to these boards is akid specific binding. These easy-close single ratchet bindings give great footholdwhilst still delivering a soft and forgiving feel. Finally each pack comes with its ownboot, the Mini Turbo for boys and the Lil Kat for girls. Both of these boots are builtaround a soft flexing Boa Closure System upper, thisdial closure system makes it a piece of cake for eventhe youngest kids to fasten up their boots. Both theMini Turbo and the Lil Kat boot features K2’s sizingshims. These ingenious inserts reduce the size ofthe boot so as your kids feet grow just slip out ashim or two and increase the boot by a size, so nowyou don’t have to invest in new boots every year.

a) TSA Easy Ryan £90.00Paying out twice for putting your luggage on a plane really hurts. One payment for your clothesand then another for your board bag, bit of a con really. As tight a**** ourselves we felt we hadto come up with a solution to this rip off practice; so we put our heads together with our bagmanufacturer to see if we could come up with a solution for getting all your snowboard kit andclothing in one bag and keep it all under the dreaded excess baggage weight limits. The Easy Ryanis a super light padded bag that comes in around 5kg lighter than our standard wheelie protectorcase. With super light padding, a lightweight wheel system and a whole new method of bag rigiditywe have created a super light bag that delivers all the protection of a standard padded board bagat a fraction of the weight.Colour: Black Code 803505

b) TSA Global Protector £50.00The Global Protector is our all new great value board bag. It shares much of its design withthe Easy Ryan but thanks to losing the wheels we have managed to shave the price down toalmost half the price of the Easy Ryan. It’s still big enough to get most of your kit in so youshould still be able to get away with taking just one bag. The Global Protector doesn’t skimpon features either, it still has the central pocket for all your extras and we have fitted the basewith skateboard straps so you can instantly turn it into a wheelie bag simply by strapping yourskateboard to the base, we’ve even added a handle so you can drag it along.Colour: Black Code 803504

c) 32 Nimbus Boot Bag £20.00You can now pack your boots up in their very own bag.The Nimbus is a tarpaulin lined waterproof zippered bagthat looks nothing like a ski boot bag.Colour: Camo Code 803502

Once again the TSA is supporting the British Freestyle Snowboard Team, for every TSA board bag that we sell we willdonate a percentage of the price to help train and coach some of the best of Britain’s up and coming freestyle talent.With Slopestyle becoming part of the next winter Olympics the British team are at last in a position to really challengefor medals, with 3 times X Games Slopestyle winner Jenny Jones, ‘wunderkid’ Jamie Nicholls and Aimee Fuller allgoing for Slopestyle we have never had a better chance to take home gold. Add to that Ben Kilner fresh from hisstunning 18th place at the last Olympics and it looks like Sochi 2014 could be historic games for Britain. Howeverwith Government cuts it looks like snowboarding will recieve no money from UK sport, if that is the case we as asport have to raise the funds to help deliver the level of support and coaching that our riders need to fulfil the potentialthat they have. By buying a TSA board bag you will help contribute to supporting our riders for Sochi 2014.

Airhole Facemasks are the best facemasks in the world because they are innovative, practical, and fashionable. Our company is composed of snowboarders makingproducts for snowboarders. Founded by professional snowboarders Kale Stephens and Chris Brown, Airhole Facemasks provide the protection you need from theelements while bringing fashion to your face. Airhole masks are designed to help protect your face from the elements. Winter sports activities bombard your exposedskin with rain, snow, sun and wind. The Airhole mask provides a barrier against these destructive forces using a weather resistant outer shell and a warm soft liningagainst your face. Heat loss from the head is significant and prolonged exposure will result in fatigue. The face is a significant part of the head and is often neglectedwhen dressing for snowboarding. Correct dressing in adverse conditions is essential for health and safety and extends ride time. Cold burns energy, retaining heat retainsenergy. Wear an Airhole, look good, keep warm, prolong time on the snow… simple!

Helmets have become a regular partof equipment for many snowboarders

and as acceptance has grown, improvements in design keepcoming. The ‘cannon ball look’ disappeared years ago, as didthe feeling of sticking your head in a vice! Helmets now arewell ventilated, surprisingly light, extremely comfortable andthey make use of many clever custom-fitting procedures.

They may not be the answer for everybody or provide unlimitedprotection but anyone who wants to maximise their safety onthe hill should consider one. They can make a difference andfor that reason we encourage their use. Come into one of ourstores, talk through the options with our staff and try some on,you might just be surprised how light, comfortable andaffordable they are.

HELMETS Construction Hard Shell Takes place when a durable ABS shell and a lightweight EPSliner are bonded together. This type of helmet tends to have less vents, but they’re greatvalue and very hard-wearing.

Venting More vents will normally equal more powerful cooling, but you should alsoconsider whether the vents can be ‘unplugged’ or, if there is rider controlled venting thatcan be adjusted while riding so you don’t have to take the helmet off.

A tough hard shell construction provides the durability to deal with the knocksand bangs of the park and mountain. Strategic vent placement provides cooling,the liner is removable so a beanie can be worn instead and the faux fur earpadsadd a little bit of luxury.Construction: ABS shell / EPS impact linerVenting: 7 mesh-screened vents,4 open ventsSizing system: StandardExtra features: Removable faux furearpads, pony tail compatible, removablewashable liner, beanie convertibleColour: Raspberry Purple (967)Sizes: XS - MCode 707219

Sizing Apart from the actual sizing, each brand of helmet will have slightly differentshapes, so it is worth trying a few different makes on to see which best fits your ownhead shape. As well as using standard sizes, some manufacturers choose to addlevels of customisation and fine-tuning to each size for extra fit and comfort.Sizing - In Form Fit System The In Form system gives the most comfortable customfit in a snow helmet. An ergo-friendly dial at the base of the helmet provides up to 6cmof adjustment for enhanced comfort and stability. Giro helmets with the In Form fitsystem cover a much larger range of head sizes than a traditional helmet size.

Trying On When you try a helmet on it should fit firmly and snugly on your head.Align the front of the helmet above your eyebrows and tighten the chin strap, make surethere are no unwanted gaps between the helmet lining and your head. In addition, makesure the back of the helmet does not press the back of your neck. The helmet should fitsnugly, when shaking your head it should not move around. It may be worth trying thehelmet with one of your favourite pairs of goggles to make sure they fit well together.To check head size, measure in centimetres around the circumference of yourhead, just above the eyebrows.
