Every Year Snowboard manufacturers push the envelope of what technology goes into their snowboards. This year is no different! You will find that companies like Burton, Rome, Ride, and Nitro are working harder to develop snowboard features that were once thought of as impossibilities. Some of the changes you’ll notice in the newer lines of snowboards are stronger fiberglass, boards especially for women, and lighter snowboards – made possible by utilizing new core materials and compounds.

You have more to consider this year when buying your snowboard than just colors and graphics.
