STEAMBOAT COLORADO, U.S.A.

Seven thousand feet up in the Colorado Rockies, nestled quietly below one of the largest resort mountains in North America, sits a vibrant community that serves as a constant reminder 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 worldclass 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 offslope 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 fantastic holiday packages: visit steamboat.com or call UK toll-free, 0808-101-3798.

UK’S BEST REAL SNOW TRY-BEFORE-YOU-BUY DEMO STORES

Our TSA stores in the UK’s main indoor snow slopes: Tamworth Snowdome, and at Xscape Milton Keynes, Castleford/Leeds and Glasgow Braehead, give you the unique opportunity to test the latest boards and bindings from our extensive range of brands. TSA are official factory test centres for Burton, Bataleon and Artec plus we carry demo fleets from most other brands, so you have the facility to be able to ride just about every board we stock before making that important decision to buy. No other store carries such a complete range of demo equipment as TSA, so if you’re in the market for a new board, then get to one of our slopeside stores and compare and contrast.

DEMO FOR FREE We’ve never made a charge for test equipment used at the indoor slopes, and this season if you demo snowboards at TSA and decide to buy, we will knock the slope session price off the cost of your new set-up. You could say we’re letting you demo for free! (Terms and conditions apply)

CALL OUR REAL SNOW DEMO STORES: Milton Keynes Xscape: 01908 609122 Castleford/Leeds Xscape: 01977 522040

Terms & conditions: All qualifying purchases must be made no later than 1 week after the last demo date. We will reduce the retail price by the cost of a 1 hour session. A stamped and completed demo form with receipt for slope time must be presented to obtain the discount.

The discount can be claimed at any TSA store upon presentation of the completed demo form and receipt. Offer may be withdrawn at any time. Not to be used in conjunction with sale prices or any other offer.

TSA STAFF BOARD TESTING: We see board testing as a crucial part of our staff training. How can shop staff confidently talk to somebody about a board without having had the experience of riding it? That’s why we take our staff away testing boards over the summer. If you want to know more about how a specific board rides then call into a TSA Store and get the lowdown by speaking to a person who has ridden it.

MEN’S SNOWBOARDS

SNOWBOARD TECHNOLOGY

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 select the right board as you can now compare different boards from different manufacturers without having to shift backwards and forwards through loads of pages. We have categorised our range in the following way: Jib boards, Freestyle/All Terrain boards, All Terrain boards, Freeride boards, 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 most knowledgeable rider can easily get lost. Worry not though, to help ensure that you get the perfect board for your particular style of riding we have come up with an easy to follow snowboard selection tool. By rating 5 simple categories to your own personal riding preferences our Board Selector 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 will do everything then look for scores that are around the same level for each category. The beauty JIB PARK CARVE POWDER PERFORMANCE of the Board Selector is that it lets you fine tune your board choice so you can get exactly the 5 5 5 5 5 board 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: JIB So how important is jibbing to you? By jibbing we mean riding rails, boxes and just playing around on the slope. A high scoring jib board will usually be really soft flexing and will have a small nose and tail profile and will generally ride a lot looser than any other category. These characteristics give the board a higher level of control at slower speeds and also give the rider more feel and control when riding boxes and rails as well as helping the rider lock the board into a trick. In terms of specific performance a jib board is probably the most specialist of all boards so a very high scoring jib board will usually compromise a lot of performance elsewhere on the mountain. So if you want to ride rails a lot of the time, mark Jib high up on your priority list, if you don’t, mark it down.

Step 2: PARK So what’s the difference between Jib and Park? Well a few years ago it was nothing but as the sport has progressed the two have gone in separate directions. By PARK we mean big kicker jumps, big man made stairsets, fast run-ins and big solid landings. What this means in terms of the board is that although generally still a twin shape like a jib board, the out and out park board needs to be a lot more powerful and a lot more solid. In fact the park board has shifted in its characteristics closer to what we class as an all terrain board hence 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 bigger airs, more of a solid feel underfoot to allow you to stomp those landings. If you’re looking for those characteristics score high, if you don’t ever leave the ground and only ride in one direction score low.

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

page 006

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

STEP 4: POWDER Probably the simplest category to describe, it’s how the board works in fresh snow. A pure powder board will have a really long nose and a shallow tail which helps it stabilise in deep snow (the nose comes up, the tail goes down). Now this is great when you’re in waist deep snow but that shape doesn’t always result in a board that rides everything else well. So as with all the categories it’s about finding the balance about how you’re going to ride. If you only want the board specifically to ride powder then mark it up, the experiences that a board with 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 special memory but it’ll normally be one that you’ll want to forget. Obviously there are a few exceptions to the rules and the selector will show you which powder boards work well in general riding conditions.

STEP 5: PERFORMANCE As the name says this marks the performance of the board. So a 10 is a high performance 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 something that is soft and forgiving then gravitate towards the lower figures anything from a 3 to a 5 will give a respectable level of performance but will still be forgiving enough for even the most novice rider. As the scores increase so does the performance, so if you’re an intermediate to good rider you want to be looking towards boards in the 6-7 performance range. Once you get into the higher figures these boards are true high performance snowboards for advanced to expert riders, these are usually riders with many years experience who have spent a lot of time on snow. With the performance category it’s vital that you are honest about your ability level, high performance boards take a lot of effort to ride and they won’t make you a better snowboarder, in fact it will have the opposite effect and could seriously reduce your enjoyment.

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

JIB

JIB The jib board is the loosest and most playful type of snowboard and is designed primarily for riding rails and jibbing off obstacles. With this in mind 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 onto a rail for increased control and feel. Manoeuvrability and control are important factors in jib board design so rocker profiles dominate this sector of the market as do low profile tip and tail twin tips. The pure jib board is great for playing around in the park and on rails but can be found somewhat lacking when it comes to more general riding.

YES JACKPOT £370.00

K2 WWW £320.00

BATALEON DISASTER GULLI £315.00

Playful jib stick that can step up to the mountain. The Jackpot is that rarest of beasts, a jib friendly board that can step up to ride the mountain when the park just won’t deliver. Its combination of soft and playful tip and tail with mid flex under the feet create a really smooth ride that you can press and butter all day long, but when you want that extra bit of oomph, the Jackpot is always there for you. This season YES have played around with the spec of the Jackpot and have stepped it up a level. In comes the all new Humps profiling which improves that balance of flex and performance and an all new Tragna Maction edge to improve carving performance without being too hooky. Add all this to the super snappy Pop core and responsive tri-ax glass and you have a board that truly blurs the line between jibbing and all mountain riding.

Sizes: 154 Weight Range: 52 - 75kg 156 Weight Range: 54 - 77kg Quick Link Code 800578

K2’s iconic jib board. The WWW is the board that started the whole jib revolution, originating from the creative genius of K2’s team it ushered in a whole era of snowboarding progression.

Over the intervening years K2 have refined and revised the WWW so even after all these years it still stands out as much as it did in the very beginning. Built around a balanced twin tip shape it features low profile blunt tip and tail to deliver a predictable and controllable board, add to that the jib specific rocker and you have a board that ticks all the boxes for the demands of the modern rail rider. It’s no wonder then that the new WWW is the board of choice for the new generation of jibbers such as Nick Dirks and Jake Kuzyk. Finishing off the WWW you have a tough P-Tex top sheet and an easy repair extruded base.

Icelandic rail slayer Gulli Gudmundsson’s signature board. At long last Icelandic rail slayer Gulli Gudmundsson gets the signature board that he has long deserved. Based on the jib specific Disaster, which is Gulli’s board of choice when it comes to hitting up those urban spots this is the perfect choice for street rail riders and snowdome jibbers. With its jib specific triple base design and bullet proof Tough core construction this is one board that every rail rider should take notice of. That plus Gulli’s own limited edition graphic.

SIGNAL PARK ROCKER LIGHT £285.00

DWD RAT MAET £285.00

SALOMON SALOMONDER £280.00

HEAD DEFY KERS £265.00

The ultimate jib board becomes a lot more versatile. The original Park Rocker was one of the most jib specific boards ever created, it’s 10˚ 3 stage rocker created one of the most playful and buttery shapes ever to grace the park, great as this was on rails it was never going to work that great over the rest of the mountain. Well with the Rocker Light Signal have tweaked the cocker reducing it down to 5˚. This reduction in the angle has transformed the board. It now gives a solid and reassuring feel underfoot so you can blast around the whole mountain without ever worrying that the board is going to let you down, get it in the deep stuff and the float is awesome all this whilst still delivering one of the most predictable and controlled rides on rails and generally jibbing about.

Sizes: 154 Weight Range: 59 - 82kg 156 Weight Range: 52 - 75kg Quick Link Code 800649

The jib board that can step it up a level. Want a jib board that can deliver over the whole mountain? Well your search is over. The Rat Maet takes that proven blunt tip and tail rocker shape and steps up the construction to create a board that can hack it with those jib specific sticks in the park but which can step up when you need that bit extra to take it to the next level. The poplar core gives the Rat that extra power missing from most jib boards but thanks to the bi-ax glass it’s still predictable when locking onto rails. The Rat is a step up from the majority of jib boards on the market both in performance and versatility so if you want to conquer the park whilst still being able to enjoy those deep powder days then the Rat is the board for you.

Jed Anderson and Chris Grenier’s rail destroyer. With the likes of Jed Anderson and Chris Grenier riding the Salomonder it’s nigh on impossible to question its credentials.

Super tech performance jib board. The Defy is the board of choice for Alex Tank and was one of the most raved about snowboards on The Snowboard Test. Built around a twin tip chassis with traditional rocker profile it could easily get lost in the world of twin tip boards. But what makes this something special is the inclusion of Heads advanced KERS technology in both the tip and tail. This unique energy recovery system translates vibrations into electricity which it fires through booster cables running through the tip and tail of the board. This increases snap and power when pushing hard transforming this into one of the most responsive and versatile rocker boards on the market.

MEN’S SNOWBOARDS

FREESTYLE/ALL TERRAIN In the past freestyle boards would have had a separate section, but over the years the freestyle board has evolved both in shape and design as well as performance becoming a lot more versatile as a result and moving more towards the catch-all All Terrain category. The freestyle board is generally a twin tip in shape which means that the board is the same shape both at the tip and tail. This balanced profile gives the rider increased control in the air and is also more predictable when riding backwards (switch). The binding position can either be centred or set back as can the flex depending on how far the board leans towards being all terrain. The flex pattern on a freestyle board is generally a little stiffer than a jib board, usually sitting between mid soft to mid stiffness. However high end freestyle boards are normally quite stiff through the length to give extra power off jumps and kickers. The freestyle board is a great choice if you want a board that you can take in the park but still be able to ride over the whole mountain.

This catch it all category is as the name suggests a series of boards that are designed to handle the whole mountain. Usually the all terrain board differs from the freestyle/all terrain board in that it leans slightly more to gunning around the mountain than it does cruising through the park. Although versatile enough to still take into the park it focuses a little bit more on performance over the rest of the mountain, what you could really call general snowboarding. All terrain boards are usually either fully directional or directional twin in shape and flex. This shape means that the board is optimised to deliver more performance when travelling in one direction although most all terrain boards are still capable of riding switch. All terrain boards can be both rockered and cambered or a combination of the two, this is generally decided by personal preference on what kind of riding characteristics the rider wants.

The wide wide board that doesn’t ride like a tanker. When you have big feet you just have to get used to that super tanker slow edge to edge speed. Well stand up and sing Alleluia because those days are over. With the new Phenom Artec have created a wide board that is big enough for riders with the biggest feet but which reacts and turns like a traditional snowboard. To achieve this they have used the advanced Omega sidecut which straightens up the sidecut at the nose and tail allowing the designers to give a more traditional nose and tail width thereby eliminating that slow edge to edge. The Phenom shares the rest of its design and construction with the acclaimed Novus.

This shared DNA creates a board that combines a smooth easy going flex with the pop and response that will satisfy riders from beginner through to good intermediate.

FREERIDE

FREERIDE Freeride boards are designed to deliver performance both on the piste and in deep snow. They are generally fully directional in both shape and flex and the binding position is normally set back to let the slightly wider nose come up in powder snow and also give more drive through the stiffer tail of the board when turning. The freeride board is normally a little stiffer than its freestyle counterpart as most freeriders are looking for more performance at higher speeds. Freeride boards, due to the shape, offer more stability at higher speeds and are designed to deliver unrivalled performance when carving on-piste. Although freeride boards are happy going off jumps, their shape and profile doesn’t really lend itself to riding rails and boxes. As with freestyle boards, freeride boards come in rocker, camber and hybrid profiles but will generally have some form of camber built into the profile to give that added bit of performance.

JONES FLAGSHIP £470.00

SALOMON MANS BOARD £380.00

BATALEON OMNI £300.00

The King of the castle. When it comes to big mountain snowboarding Jeremy Jones sits on that top step with the legends of our sport.

However what isn’t so well known is when it comes to designing big mountain snowboards Jeremy has no equal. Now the fact that the Flagship is the board of choice for Jeremy puts into perspective just how good this board is.

Obviously this is a powerful board designed to conquer the gnarliest mountains anywhere in the world but it’s also a lot more than that. Get this thing on hardpack and the power and response that it puts down is truly remarkable.

Take it in the pow and it comes up with no effort and begging to be ridden harder and faster. The Flagship is a remarkable board and the obvious choice for any serious freerider.

Bode Merrill’s board, are you man enough?

Whatever you say about Bode Merrill the words small and dainty aren’t going to appear often.

Without doubt one of the world’s gnarliest riders, from career ending stairsets to massive backcountry booters, Bode is at the forefront of that new breed of rider pushing the boundaries of snowboarding. To ride at that level you need a board that surpasses the norm of snowboard design and that’s exactly what the Salomon Mans Board does. Designed to deliver for the most demanding riders this is one board that can put it down in any terrain and any type of riding. Equally at home in the deepest powder as it is stomping the steepest stairset the Mans Board is a truly versatile board that rides everything that the mountain can throw at it.

Hard charging freeride board that defies the price. If there’s one board in the Bataleon line that benefited most from the new shapes and triple base profiles introduced last year, it’s the Omni. This all new technology has stepped up the performance of the board and has created a truly stunning freeride board. Perfect for those riders who are stepping up to their first full on freeride board, it combines supercar levels of performance whilst still maintaining a relatively easy going nature. If riding forward and getting a buzz from high speed is your thing, then the Omni is going to put a big smile on your face, even more so when you see the price.

POWDER

POWDER As the name suggests, powder boards are designed to deliver maximum performance in deep snow. This means that they are generally fully directional with a larger and wider nose profile than tail. This allows the board to float in deep snow whilst the rider’s binding position is set back on the board to help keep the nose up and reduce fatigue. Powder boards (with a few exceptions) due to their extreme shape and design, are generally compromised when riding anything other than powder so are normally bought as a second board. Their performance in deep snow is so much better than a normal board and delivers one of the sport’s best ever sensations, so they are becoming more and more popular. As float is the key in powder boards, it is most common for them to feature some form of directional rocker or other kind of profile shaping to help get the nose up.

YES 420 £410.00

JONES HOVERCRAFT £365.00

BATALEON CAMEL TOE £330.00

DCP’s joy machine. Amazing! Amazing!

Everyone seems to have one this year but no one has one quite like this. The masters of powder riding at YES have been refining their version in the deep snow of Japan, Canada and Alaska and have created one of the most exciting and fun snowboards ever built. The brainchild of DCP the 420 introduces a new short, super fat board that revolutionises the whole powder riding experience. The 420 brings a new sense of freedom and manoeuvrability to the powder experience. Super floaty it can hack it on the faces of Alaska right through to the tree runs of Japan. So just be honest with yourself, what kind of powder board do you want to ride, one created by the best powder riders in the world or one created by some jib kid?

Sizes: 146 Weight Range: 50 - 73kg Quick Link Code 800579

Powder, Power and a big smiling face. Jeremy Jones raves about this, Neil McNab says it’s the funnest board he’s ridden and I can’t print what Ed Leigh said. One thing is for sure the Hovercraft will blow you away by just how much fun it is. Designed to be ridden short, Jeremy built this board to excel in deep snow. Its directional shape, long nose and powder tail give all the float and control you’ll ever need. But the Hovercraft’s secret weapon is that Jeremy sneaked in some DNA of his old race boards and has created a stunning board that will redefine what you have come to expect on the hardpack.

For sure it’s not the kind of board you’ll ride everyday but if you want a second board for those epic days then strap yourself into this and never look back.

Sizes: 156 Weight Range: 65kg + 160 Weight Range: 75kg + Quick Link Code 800550

At last it’s arrived, the powder stick to end all powder sticks? The Camel Toe features an all new, fully directional shape with an all new Powder Triple Base profile. In one fell swoop it has redefined performance for the most eager powder hound out there, and what’s even better is that Bataleon haven’t priced this out of the range of mere mortals. At this price most people can afford to stick one of these in their quiver and experience one of the most amazing riding sensations there is. The new POW TBT features a minimal flat section which allows for aggressive TBT angles to create a bowed nose that just brings the board straight up onto the plane, combine this with the shorter tail TBT and you have an amazing board that just begs for the deep stuff.

SPLIT Split board touring is one of the fastest growing parts of the sport. More and more people want to escape the hustle and bustle of the piste and want to experience the adventure of going deep into the backcountry. The split board revolution over the past few years has seen the performance levels of the equipment raise dramatically making it both easier and more fun to access the backcountry. Split boards are available in a wide variety of shapes and designs but generally they all do similar things.

A split board is a snowboard that is split in half down its length, this allows the board to be used as ski’s with skins attached (to stop the ski sliding backwards) for ascending and traversing unrideable terrain. When the rider wants to make a descent the board is then fastened back together with clips at the nose and tail. Split boards use an interface with the bindings that allow the bindings to be used both as a ski touring binding and a traditional binding. When purchasing a split board you need to buy skins and the binding Interface although most brands now offer everything in a complete kit.

BOARD ONLY £955.00

BOARD ONLY £700.00

BOARD ONLY £650.00

The Veyron of split boarding. With the Solution Carbon, Jones take the standard Solution and replace the glass structural layers with carbon fibre. While the most obvious benefit that this brings is the reduction in weight and an increase in strength, it’s carbon fibre’s structural properties that deliver the biggest difference to this board. Carbon’s ability to return to its flat state faster than glass fibre means the board gains a whole load of pop and power transforming what is a great board into a truly stunning high performance backcountry touring machine. The Solution Carbon redefines the whole touring experience and delivers a level of performance unheard of in this type of board. Super responsive, lively and powerful, the Solution Carbon will blow you away whether ascending or descending the biggest peaks. If you take your split board touring seriously then this is a must.

The sport’s premier split board. The Solution is the board that changed splitboarding. Up until it came out, split boards had always been a bit dead, great for skinning up on, dreadful for riding down on. When the Solution arrived everything changed, at last here was a board that rode as close to a standard board as it was possible to get. Bearing that in mind, don’t confuse the Solution with those split boards costing a lot less, there’s a reason they are so cheap. If you want to take your touring seriously and you want to maximise those descents that you have worked so hard to access, then the Solution is really the only serious choice.

BACKCOUNTRY Backcountry Safety Equipment: Neil McNab One of the greatest risks we face when riding off piste or out in the backcountry is that posed by avalanche. The majority of avalanche victims are caught in avalanches that have been triggered by themselves or their companions. Statistics show that in the event of an avalanche burial, the buried victim’s greatest chance of survival is to be located and uncovered within 15 minutes. With the average call out time for an official search and rescue team to arrive on location and begin searching at around 30 to 40 minutes it is apparent that the avalanche victim’s greatest chance of survival is through an efficient and rapid search and rescue operation provided by the victim’s properly equipped and prepared companions on location.

The minimum requirements for riding in the backcountry are a transceiver, shovel and probe. Don’t venture out there without them!

Transceiver. An avalanche Transceiver is a transmitter and receiver set to a common frequency of 457kHz. In the hands of an experienced and practiced user an avalanche transceiver can be a very reliable and efficient method of locating buried avalanche victims, (also wearing avalanche transceivers) and in the event of an avalanche burial it is by far the victims’ best and often only chance of survival. Modern digital transceivers provide information on distance, direction and even identify how many victims are buried and where they are individually located. These new models aren’t fool proof however and practice is as always the key. The real event of an avalanche is not the time to try out your transceiver for the first time. A transceiver is only ever as good 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 are far better than plastic.

Probe. Probes are easily collapsible and extendable poles used for locating a buried avalanche victim before the shovelling begins. A practiced probing pattern should be used rather than a random attack of the victim’s signal location. Again, keep your probe inside your backpack and not on the outside!

Ortovox 3+ Transceiver £259.99

Black Diamond Expedition Poles - Pair £74.99

The 3+ is a 3-antenna transceiver that is super simple to use and processes information fast. The circular display clearly guides you at each stage of a search promoting fast recoveries even when faced with multiple burials. The 3+ features Smart Antenna technology, which enables the unit to recognise the position it is in and automatically switch to the antenna that offers the best signal for searching transceivers to pick up. All this clever technology is housed in an ergonomic, rubberised case delivering functional performance and a sharp aesthetic.

Colours: Black Phantom (901) or Green Apple (930) Code 298118

Thanks to a three-section design and double FlickLock adjustability, the Expedition poles are easily packed away when not in use. Updated for winter 2012 these classic backcountry poles now feature Black Diamond’s FlickLock Pro adjustment system, revised grips and a sharp new look.

Useable length: 62cm-140cm Code 222120

Black Diamond Avalung II £119.99 In 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 diverting exhaled air away from your fresh air intake zone the Avalung prevents suffocation through carbon dioxide contamination, considerably extending the time your partners have to locate you.

Travelling In The Backcountry Whilst some nice off piste snow can be found via a quick duck under the boundary rope, accessing the mountain’s true backcountry terrain is normally slightly more involved 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. Metal crampon spikes and rails underneath are essential for climbing steep slopes and for traversing 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 to touring out into the backcountry. Not carrying your board on your pack when hiking and no need for snowshoes on your back when riding are the most obvious but also the ability to slide your feet rather than lift and step when breaking trail through deep untracked 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 within minutes. The new technology split board is rapidly becoming the backcountry enthusiast’s most essential weapon.

Trekking Poles. A pair of collapsible walking poles is essential kit for a day in the backcountry and often useful for pushing on long easy angled valley exits or short hikes were snowshoes aren’t needed.

Backpack. There are many snowboard specific backpacks on the market designed for the different aspects of off piste and backcountry riding. My advice is to think simple and light. Your pack needs to fit your kit inside easily and carry your board effectively whilst being snug to your back and comfortable to wear. If you’re going to carry a drinking bladder make sure the tube is well insulated or better still inside the sleeve of your backpack shoulder strap. Blow air into the tube after drinking and pay attention to it in cold extremes.

MEN’S BINDINGS

SNOWBOARD BINDINGS

Choosing a binding generally comes in a distant third when looking at new kit. Most people spend an age researching the board and then the same trying on different boots, after that it’s normally a case of “that will do” for the binding because it matches the board. But that approach does a huge disservice to what really is one of the most important parts of a set up. The reality is, this simple bit of plastic is 100% responsible for delivering the input from the rider direct to the board, get this wrong and that input is broken and no matter how careful you were in choosing the rest of your kit the simple truth is that it isn’t going to work properly. When choosing a binding take into account what board it’s going on, how responsive you want it to be and what type of riding you will be doing. In our descriptions for each binding we have a tech spec section, cross reference this with the technical glossary below to help you understand the performance characteristics of the binding.

BASEPLATE Polycarbonate: This basic material is generally used in bindings that are aimed at riders who want a more forgiving ride. Polycarbonate can undergo large plastic deformations without cracking or breaking.

Glass Reinforced Nylon: By combining short fibre glass with nylon you can control the stiffness of the baseplate.

The % of glass dictates the stiffness.

This ranges from 10% to 45% with 45% being the stiffest. Anything over 45% renders the material too brittle.

Carbon Reinforcing: This generally replaces the glass fibre content of the binding with carbon fibres increasing both response and control.

Aluminium Heel Cups: These are generally added to bindings where the Baseplate is adjustable for length.

Power Ramps: Increase the footprint of the binding by sitting underneath the toe of the boot. Power ramps increase the response speed by picking up the weight shift of the rider earlier.

Footbeds: Are generally formed from EVA and normally cover the baseplate of the binding under the boot. Their main objective is to isolate the boot from vibrations coming through the binding which can cause foot cramps.

Baseplate Bushings: Bushings normally serve a couple of purposes, the first is to add another level of vibration dampening whilst the second is to soften off the edges of the binding

to try and reduce core compression in the board’s core which can result in structural damage to the board.

HIGHBACKS Plastic Make Up: This is the same as for baseplates, a polycarbonate highback will be soft and forgiving whilst the 30%, 45% and carbon reinforced highbacks will increase in stiffness.

Urethane: Mainly aimed at freestyle riders, urethane highbacks have a really soft torsional twist whilst still being supportive with direct pressure. This makes this material perfect for riders looking for mobility on rails or in the air.

Asymmetric: These highbacks are specific to the left and right foot. They are designed to work more efficiently than a standard symmetric highback by being able to pick up the rider’s energy shifts earlier.

STRAPS 3D Straps: By stitching the strap fabric in a specific way you can create a 3 dimensional shape. The advantage of 3D straps is that they sit over the boot better increasing comfort and reducing strap pressure.

Cap Straps: These are designed to sit over the front of the boot, they help pull the boot back into the binding heelcup and reduce pressure over the front of the boot.

Combination Straps: These can be used as either a cap strap or a traditional over the top of the toe strap.

BURTON DIODE REFLEX £315.00

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. Look at a snowboard binding from 30 years ago and there really isn’t that much difference to a snowboard binding of today. But, out in the deepest backcountry recesses of Canada there was one man that didn’t take stock of that. Secretly working away in his shed was legendary snowboarder JF Pelchat, and unknown to anyone was that JF was about to unleash what you could easily describe as the biggest evolutionary step in snowboard bindings since the highback. We could end the story there but we won’t because like all the best stories this one takes a few more twists and turns. Once JF had his prototype built 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 so revolutionary. It was at this point JF gave up and stashed his revolutionary binding away in his garage to gather dust. Now this is where our story takes a strange turn. For years our hero’s binding sat there alone on a shelf, forgotten. Until one day after a chance conversation JF’s prototype ended up on the feet of one of the world’s best and well known riders. That rider took a run on JF’s prototype binding and at that point everything changed. Well our mystery super star rider was so blown away by JF’s binding that he gave it to another of the world’s best rider who feeling the same gave it to another of the world’s best riders and so this went on and on. In no time at all what was once an abandoned dusty prototype sat on a shelf became the most talked about and celebrated innovation to hit snowboarding since the beginning of the sport. Now at last after all these years and after all the blood sweat and tears that went into the development Mr JF Pelchat presents what can only be described as the largest step in the performance of a snowboard binding.

Binding Type: Freeride The IPO is the single biggest evolution of the snowboard binding since the very beginning of the sport. Designed to work in total harmony with the rider’s body it optimises weight transfer and shifts energy to the board unlike any other binding on the market. Built around a revolutionary central kingpin baseplate design the IPO’s innovative design allows the rider to transfer 100% of their energy direct to the edge of the board. This massive increase in forces creates a binding that delivers a level of performance that is light years ahead of even the stiffest traditional two strap design. In fact the IPO is so efficient that NOW has had to find a way of reducing the energy transfer as it would make the whole set up too responsive to ride comfortably. It does this by fitting soft dampening pads onto the Baseplate which cushion the foot unlike any other binding; delivering a level of comfort that up to this point has only been dreamed of. In addition to this the binding is so efficient that the high back is now 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 to deliver. If you want to step your riding up a huge notch then this has to be the binding to strap your feet into.

Boots! If you snowboard then you know how important it is to get them right. 8 hours on the hill with foot pain is enough to put you off snowboarding for life. If you’re new to snowboarding then this will be your most 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 the first pair you see.

• Different brands will fit differently. Even different models of the same brand can differ in width 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? Our experienced staff will give you a head start on which boots to look at first. Remember though, it’s fit first people! Boots are hidden away under bindings, pants and snow most of the time, so they rarely make an appearance anyway. What kind of boot do 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 binding is a mismatch in our opinion. If you’re just learning you may prefer a softer, more forgiving ride. If you ride fast or need more ankle 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 and get them expertly fitted to your feet… it makes such a difference! To help you to understand our boot range we have given each boot a description of its use and also a performance rating, these will help you decide if the boot suits your own riding style and also give you an idea into how responsive it is. 1 for soft and forgiving 10 for aggressive and responsive.

OUTSOLE The outsole is the layer in direct contact with the ground. The outsole may comprise a single piece, or may be an assembly of separate pieces of different materials.

MIDSOLE The layer in between the outsole and the insole that is typically there for shock absorption. Different companies use different materials for the midsoles of their boots. Some boots may not have a midsole at all as the outsole is a single piece of dampened material.

EVA CUSHIONING EVA Is one of the materials popularly known as expanded rubber or foam rubber. It is used as a shock absorber in boots.

AIR POCKET These are usually cassettes formed by creating pockets of air and are normally inserted into the heel unit of the boot to offer additional dampening and shock absorption.

ARTICULATING CUFF Allowing the upper and lower zones of the boot to flex independently creates fluid forward motion, minimizes

NIKE VAPEN £160.00

shell distortion, and maximises heel hold and response.

BACKSTAY Reinforcement of the spine of the boot, this prevents the back of the boot collapsing and increases response.

ZONAL LACING Allows the upper and lower sections of the boot to be laced independently of one another. Allows for the rider to obtain the optimum fit.

INTERNAL HARNESS This is usually in the form of a lace up harness stitched to the inside of the upper and mid part of the boot shell. It helps retain the liner and allows for a more integrated fit between the inner and outer parts of the boot.

3D TONGUE By forming the outer boot tongue from a variety of fabric cuts it is possible to form a 3 dimensional shape, this sits over the foot better and is also less likely to distort which can cause foot pain.

EYESTAYS Lacing eyestays help create optimal leverage as you tighten your laces.

BURTON DRIVER X £290.00 Boot Type: Freeride Performance Rating: 9/10 If riding fast and hard is your thing then the Driver X is definitely the boot for you. It’s the stiffest model in the Burton line and is aimed at freeriders who are looking for the ultimate in high speed response, control and power.

BURTON RULER £195.00

Boot Type: Freestyle Performance Rating: 4 Since its launch the Hail very quickly established itself as the must have freestyle boot, its combination of performance and comfort gave it a reputation that was impossible to ignore. Over the years Burton have refined and redeveloped the Hail so that it still stands out as an exceptional boot all these years later. The secret to the Hail’s success lies in its Articulating Cuff, this allows the boot to flex freely for a smoother delivery of power giving the rider more control and precision; it also prevents the upper bagging out which can result in less response. In addition the upper features special Flex Notches and a Flex Spine Backstay, these allow the boot to flex in a specific way to optimise the performance for freestyle riders. Internally the Hail features a skate inspired Stay-Puft tongue which works in harmony with the new Imprint 3 liner with RadPad, this custom fit liner features a pre-curved panel which dissipates lace pressure to give a super comfortable ride. Finally it all sits on a new freestyle inspired Outsole that features Dual Density EVA cushioning that is specially profiled to allow the foot to roll naturally, reducing fatigue on the joints and muscles but also really allowing you to bone out those tricks.

Boot Type: All Terrain/Freestyle Performance Rating: 6 The Ruler has pretty much established its place at the top of the tree for good intermediate riders who are looking for a performance boot that can ride every type of terrain that the mountain can throw at it. Although it delivers tons of performance the Ruler’s greatest strength is that it isn’t one of those all or nothing top end boots that gets tiring to ride halfway through the day. This makes it the obvious choice for anyone who wants to enjoy their riding but who doesn’t want to ride at 10/10ths all day long. The Ruler features a responsive upper with the Power Spine Backstay and the Speed Zone™ Zonal lacing system to give a responsive flex and rock solid foot hold. For this season Burton has added a new lightweight Outsole which features a 270˚ Airbag cushion. This cushions the foot from both unwanted vibrations and hard impacts making this one of the most comfortable boots available. Now match this with the custom fit imprint 2 liner and you have a boot that delivers great performance but stays comfortable all day long.

Thanks to its super light weight and freestyle specific flex it became an instant hit with park riders and general freestyle snowboarders who were looking for a boot that would deliver all the control and response they could ever need whilst still being able to put it down in the park and on rails. Thanks to its advanced upper construction which features a Crossbone Upper Cuff and Flex Spine Backstay the Rampant delivers a really free flex without compromising lateral support allowing the rider to really press into those butters, kind of like riding with wingbacks but with more mobility. Its traditional lacing gives the ability to get the perfect lace tension something that you just can’t do with a speed lace. The Sole unit of the rampant features Burton’s EST sole technology; this brings the foot closer to the board to give optimum control and feel but thanks to the advanced B3 Gel inserts achieves this without compromising support and impact resistance. Internally the Rampant uses the heat mouldable Imprint 2 Liner with new Lock-Up Cuff and Velcro closure system to give a super comfortable and secure fit.

This isn’t just a jibber’s boot though, that closer contact is great for riders that like to use foot steering to turn the board as that closeness speeds up the response. Another great advantage of the Fusion construction is the reduction in shell size which reduces toe and heel drag on bigger sized boots.

All these years later it’s still redefining the performance levels for riders that want a responsive and powerful freestyle boot for hitting those big park kickers, back country booters and generally charging over the whole mountain. Its super lightweight upper features a traditional lace closure which allows the rider to get the perfect fit and control the flex for optimum response in all types of riding.

As with other high end boots in the 32 line the TM Two uses the lightweight STI Evolution Foam outsole. This offers improved cushioning over a standard rubber outsole as well as dramatically reducing the weight of the boot. To this is added a G2 Gel heel pad which takes hard impacts away from the heel.

Its perfect balance of flex and performance delivers a ride that satisfies jibbers all the way through to freeriders making this the perfect boot for any rider that wants to ride the whole mountain.

Internally it features the Intuition Level 3 mouldable liner, this gives a stunning fit whilst holding the foot securely delivering great performance without compromising comfort. The final key to the Lashed’s popularity lies with the super light STI Evolution Foam Outsole, this unique material provides superior cushioning compared to traditional foam but it also reduces weight by up to 40% compared with traditional rubber ensuring that the Lashed is still one of the lightest boots on the market.

Boot Type: All Terrain/Freestyle Performance Rating: 5 Although priced as an entry level boot the Freedom delivers a level of performance and fit that punches way above its weight. This makes it the perfect choice for first time buyers all the way through to advanced intermediates who are looking for a great performing all terrain boot on a budget. Thanks to its supportive upper with 360˚ heel hold system and Super Lace Zonal closure the Freedom locks the foot into the boot giving the rider increased control and an improved fit. This fit is further enhanced by the heat mouldable TF1 Strobel liner which keeps the foot super stable in the boot making sure that any energy transferred through the feet goes direct to the board rather than wasting it through movement of the foot. Finally the Freedom sits on a super light EVA Outsole, this isolates the foot from unwanted vibrations but still gives great feel and control.

MEN’S BOOTS VANS ANDREAS WIIG £220.00

VANS AURA £210.00

Boot Type: Freestyle/All Terrain Performance Rating: 5/7 Want 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 the Andreas 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 for charging 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 side panels to allow the upper to flex more evenly without distorting; this works in harmony with the Quad X Heat Mouldable Liner and Internal Wrap harness to really lock the foot into the boot for the optimum 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.

VANS ENCORE £170.00

Boot Type: Freestyle/All Terrain Performance Rating: 5 The 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 most obvious difference with the Aura is the use of the Double Boa Closure system. This features 2 Boa dials, the first on the side controls the lower section of the boot, and the second on the tongue controls 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 with Internal Web Harness the Aura gives superb comfort but with the improved V3 Footbed and the addition 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.

VANS HI STANDARD £120.00

Boot Type: Freestyle/All Terrain Performance Rating: 3 The 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 and simple entry and exit which when combined with the TriFit X Heat Mouldable Liner and Internal Web Harness delivers a boot that is not only super fast to get in and out of but which also offers great control 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 who are looking to develop their riding skills but who still want a level of performance that you just don’t get with softer entry level boots. (-1 to UK Sizing) Colour: Black/White Sizes: US 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12 Quick Link Code 801519

Boot Type: Freestyle/All Terrain Performance Rating: 3 The Hi-Standard has been one of the most popular freestyle boots for over 15 years now, its ability to keep reinventing itself and its continuous series of improvements have kept it at the top of the tree ever since its launch. The way it combines a softer more forgiving flex without sacrificing overall performance makes it the perfect boot for both freestyle riders and anyone wanting an easier going snowboard boot. Internally the High Standard uses Vans’ TriFit X Heat Mouldable Liner with Internal Web Harness; this allows the rider to get the perfect fit and helps ensure that the foot is held securely for increased performance and a more comfortable ride. With a whole raft of features the Hi Standard offers superb performance for any rider looking for a great value boot that will allow them to really progress their riding.

HOW TO PREVENT COMMON BOOT PROBLEMS Boot-fitting problems often stem from the foot itself, not the boot. Footbeds eliminate a lot of these issues, dramatically improving the fit and riding performance by supporting the foot structure. This helps muscles to relax and stops them tiring so quickly, meaning there's less movement and rubbing caused by collapsing of the foot. We recommend Sidas SUREfit custom footbeds. They provide the support and stability within the boot enabling your feet to better adapt to the alien environment in which they are placed.

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

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

JIB The jib board is the loosest and most playful type of snowboard and is designed primarily for riding rails and jibbing off obstacles. With this in mind 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 onto a rail for increased control and feel.

Manoeuvrability and control are important factors in jib board design so rocker profiles dominate this sector of the market as do low profile tip and tail twin tips. The pure jib board is great for playing around in the park and on rails but can be found somewhat lacking when it comes to more general riding.

Super fun board that turns the mountain into a playground. Bored of just cruising piste, fed up of waiting for those powder days, then hey your worries are over. The Oh Yeah is one of those boards that makes you just want to jib off everything, butter all over the piste, look for transitions when there aren’t any, in fact it’s one of those boards that just make you smile from cheek to cheek. Thanks to the Pres-Sure rocker the Oh Yeah’s fun side is always there just making you want to jib off everything. However on those days that you just want to cruise around the Oh Yeah is capable of switching its personality. With the advanced Equalizer 3 sidecut profile and snappy aspen strong core you can rest assured that this is one board that isn’t restricted to the park.

However this isn’t just a one trick pony, thanks to great innovations like new Overbite Frostbite edges the Social can still deliver when you want to just ride the whole mountain, granted it’s not going to rip it up like a freeride board but compared to most jib orientated boards it’s going to put it down with no issues. If you want to start exploring the park but still want a board that you can still ride the whole mountain on then the Social should be sitting in your shopping list.

In the past freestyle boards would have had a separate section, but over the years the freestyle board has evolved both in shape and design as well as performance becoming a lot more versatile as a result and moving more towards the catch all all terrain category. The freestyle board is generally a twin tip in shape which means that the board is the same shape both at the tip and tail. This balanced profile gives the rider increased control in the air and is also more predictable when riding backwards (switch). The binding position can either be centred or set back as can the flex depending on how far the board leans towards being all terrain. The flex pattern on a freestyle board is generally a little stiffer than a jib board, usually sitting between mid soft to mid stiffness. However high end freestyle boards are normally quite stiff through the length to give extra power off jumps and kickers. The freestyle board is a great choice if you want a board that you can take in the park but still be able to ride over the whole mountain.

ALL TERRAIN This catch it all category is as the name suggests a series of boards that are designed to handle the whole mountain. Usually the all terrain board differs from the freestyle/all terrain board in that it leans slightly more to gunning around the mountain than it does cruising through the park. Although versatile enough to still take into the park it focuses a little bit more on performance over the rest of the mountain, what you could really call general snowboarding. All terrain boards are usually either fully directional or directional twin in shape and flex. This shape means that the board is optimised to deliver more performance when travelling in one direction although most all terrain boards are still capable of riding switch. All terrain boards can be both rockered and cambered or a combination of the two, this is generally decided by personal preference on what kind of riding characteristics the rider wants.

FREERIDE

SPLIT

Freeride boards are designed to deliver performance both on the piste and in deep snow. They are generally fully directional in both shape and flex and the binding position is normally set back to let the slightly wider nose come up in powder snow and also give more drive through the stiffer tail of the board when turning. The freeride board is normally a little stiffer than its freestyle counterpart as most freeriders are looking for more performance at higher speeds. Freeride boards, due to the shape, offer more stability at higher speeds and are designed to deliver unrivalled performance when carving on piste. Although freeride boards are happy going off jumps their shape and profile doesn’t really lend itself to riding rails and boxes. As with freestyle boards freeride boards come in rocker, camber and hybrid profiles but will generally have some form of camber built into the profile to give that added bit of performance.

Split board touring is one of the fastest growing parts of the sport. More and more people want to escape the hustle and bustle of the piste and want to experience the adventure of going deep into the backcountry. The split board revolution over the past few years has seen the performance levels of the equipment raise dramatically making it both easier and more fun to access the backcountry. Split boards are available in a wide variety of shapes and designs but generally they all do similar things. A split board is a snowboard that is split in half down its length, this allows the board to be used as ski’s with skins attached (to stop the ski sliding backwards) for ascending and traversing unrideable terrain. When the rider wants to make a descent the board is then fastened back together with clips at the nose and tail. Split boards use an interface with the bindings that allow the bindings to be used both as a ski touring binding and a traditional binding. When purchasing a split board you need to buy skins and the binding Interface although most brands now offer everything in a complete kit.

The perfect freestyle big mountain board. The Twin Sister is a versatile freeride board that can handle the steep and deep runs of AK all the way to the terrain parks of Austria. Take it deep into the backcountry and the easy rise nose gives you one of the floatiest rides ever. Get it on piste and the advanced CamRock profile with mellow Magna Traction drives through carves like a hot knife through butter. But what marks this out from other freeride boards is that once you get it into the park or pop a few spins off a kicker this board won’t feel like it’s out of its depth.

Internally it shares the same top end construction as the Mountain Twin, FSC wood core, tri-ax glass with carbon stringers, sintered base, lightweight film top sheet and mellow Magna Traction.

KID’S HARDWARE

KID’S HARDWARE

Junior boards fall into 2 categories, kid’s boards for small kids and junior boards for bigger riders. Kid’s boards are generally super soft and are designed to make the first steps of snowboarding really easy. They are most commonly bought as a package which comes complete with bindings and boots although there is now more and more kid’s boards becoming available that deliver better performance for those kids that want to progress their riding. Junior boards pretty much share much of the DNA of full sized boards just scaled down a little. Therefore there is generally a bigger step up in price when you go to junior boards as they are almost identical to adult boards.

K2 GROM PACK BOY AND GIRL £230.00 Want to avoid the nightmare of setting up your kids with their first set up? Well look no further than the K2 Grom Packs. These fantastic set ups contain board, bindings and boots all in a single box. Each pack is based around a lightweight kid specific board, either the Mini Turbo for boys or Lil Kandi for girls. These forgiving boards feature K2’s catch free rocker to make them super easy to get on with, perfect for kids taking their first steps on the snowboard ladder. Matched to these boards is a kid specific binding. These easy-close single ratchet bindings give great foothold whilst still delivering a soft and forgiving feel. Finally each pack comes with its own boot, the Mini Turbo for boys and the Lil Kat for girls. Both of these boots are built around a soft flexing Boa Closure System upper, this dial closure system makes it a piece of cake for even the youngest kids to fasten up their boots. Both the Mini Turbo and the Lil Kat boot features K2’s sizing shims. These ingenious inserts reduce the size of the boot so as your kids feet grow just slip out a shim or two and increase the boot by a size, so now you don’t have to invest in new boots every year. The Grom Packs are sized in S, M, L.

BURTON CUSTOM SMALL £210.00

BURTON AFTER SCHOOL PACK £175.00

Just because you’re young shouldn’t mean you have to ride a board that doesn’t deliver top end performance; with that in mind Burton have created the Custom Small. Sharing much of the DNA of its bigger brother (the legendary Custom) it delivers a superb ride over the whole mountain for younger riders wanting to step up to their first proper performance snowboard. Built around a twin tip shape it utilises the Flying V profile; this combination of rocker from the centre of the board combined with camber under the feet delivers the perfect combination of pop and playfulness making it perfect for locking down your new tricks without the board punishing every mistake. Inside it uses the lightweight Fly core and a more forgiving Bi-Ax glass to give the perfect flex and performance for lighter riders.

LUGGAGE

Once again the TSA is supporting the British Freestyle Snowboard Team, for every TSA board bag that we sell we will donate 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 challenge for medals, with 3 times X Games Slopestyle winner Jenny Jones, ‘wunderkid’ Jamie Nicholls and Aimee Fuller all going for Slopestyle we have never had a better chance to take home gold. Add to that Ben Kilner fresh from his stunning 18th place at the last Olympics and it looks like Sochi 2014 could be historic games for Britain. However with Government cuts it looks like snowboarding will recieve no money from UK sport, if that is the case we as a sport have to raise the funds to help deliver the level of support and coaching that our riders need to fulfil the potential that they have. By buying a TSA board bag you will help contribute to supporting our riders for Sochi 2014.

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

Colour: Black Code 803505

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

SNOWBOARD CLOTHING WELCOME TO THE NEW CLOTHING LINE UP AT TSA We take clothing seriously here because it doesn’t matter how much you’ve spent on a shiny new hardware set-up, if your clothing sucks, so will your snowboarding day!

Remember that in fabric technology, waterproof is easy, breathable is easy but waterproof & breathable is difficult and the highest performing fabrics cost.

If you spend a lot of time riding deep snow in variable and wet conditions and hike in the backcountry a lot then you need a fabric with a high waterproof & breathable rating.

If your aspirations are less extreme and you rock the resorts a couple of times a season and play on the pistes and lift accessible off piste, then you can rely on any of the clothing in our range to deliver the performance and looks that you’ll want.

SNOWBOARD STYLE WINTER 12/13 There are three looks on parade this winter: 1. Bold colour blocking with large sportswear branding.

2. Classic snowboard solids in pure saturated colours from black to bright green.

3. Industrial & military inspired utility wear showcasing retro outdoor shapes, with natural tones, plaids and camo.

Holden was founded in 2002 by pro snowboarder Mikey LeBlanc and designer Scott Zergebel. They set out to change the look of snowsports outerwear by developing apparel equally suited to wearing on the mountain and on the street. Using tailored fits, clever design and great fabrics Holden fused fashion and function. Over the last ten years Holden have been quietly changing the face of snowsports outerwear both with their influential ‘Holden Fit’ and with their industry leading drive for eco-friendlier products and responsible business practice. All at TSA are really excited to be working with Mikey and his team and we look forward to a long and happy partnership with Holden!

ESSENTIALS - AIRHOLE Airhole Facemasks are the best facemasks in the world because they are innovative, practical, and fashionable. Our company is composed of snowboarders making products for snowboarders. Founded by professional snowboarders Kale Stephens and Chris Brown, Airhole Facemasks provide the protection you need from the elements while bringing fashion to your face. Airhole masks are designed to help protect your face from the elements. Winter sports activities bombard your exposed skin 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 lining against 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 neglected when dressing for snowboarding. Correct dressing in adverse conditions is essential for health and safety and extends ride time. Cold burns energy, retaining heat retains energy. Wear an Airhole, look good, keep warm, prolong time on the snow… simple!
