are step in snowboard bindings any good?

After a bunch of runs over some really fun terrain we can safely say "It works brilliantly!". The Step On system is speedy and responsive, and when you're riding it behaves like a regular high performance binding from Burton. It does what all bits of snowboard technology should do; lets you concentrate on the ride.

Yes, in my opinion, the Brahma boots are quite good in the snow (especially compared to cost). How well they handle the snow is actually one of my sneaky favorite things about these boots (besides the budget-friendly price). They are reasonably warm.

The skate should fit very snug for proper support to enable a good push-off without any movement of your foot inside the skate. And finally, it takes a few wears to break in a new pair of skates.

Wide snowboards usually have a waist width of over 260mm. The waist of the snowboard, where the bindings are attached, is wider than that of a regular snowboard. This prevents the toes from dragging over the edge when a toe side turn is initiated.

The Lib Tech TRS HP has been one of those boards that is always on the recommendation list. While it doesn't do that well in powder it does provide a great board for those who see a lot of hard to icy snow, like to keep it centered, and take a more freestyle approach to the mountain.

Snowboard bindings can fit into three general style categories. As important as it is for binding flex to match your style of riding, you should also determine the amount of binding flex you would want according to the flex of your boot. It would not make sense to have a stiff binding and a soft boot or vice versa.

They are absolutely worth it. They'll be stiffer and have better soles to stick to the pins on a pedal.

Yukon Charlie's Pro-Guide Aluminum Snowshoes are good for what they are designed for: soft snow and gentle terrain. They lack the materials and design needed for steeper more technical terrain. For the average user who plans to snowshoe a few miles a trip a few times each year, these snowshoes are a great value.

Step-In. In this system, a wire bail holds the toe in place while a heel cable with tension lever attaches the crampon to the heel. If the boot/crampon fit is right, this results in a very secure system. This is also the easiest style to put on with gloves and in snowy conditions.

They really are worth it. Mine will be seeing in their 4th winter this year and they still look excellent, with good grips left on soles and still uber snugly! I don't think they last any longer than fake ones (not the really cheap ones but I have some from M&S that are 3 years old and are still looking good!).

How Should Snowboard Boots Fit? Snowboard boots should fit snugly, but not to the point where they cause pain. Most boots need several days of riding for them to pack out and form to their true size, and as a result should be fairly tight when brand new.

All alpine bindings have some adjustability, but the range of adjustment is limited and in some cases, the bindings will have to be remounted to work with a new boot. Adjusting or remounting your ski bindings in these circumstances is not something you should do yourself.

The boots are comfortable to wear with thick socks, but my foot slides around and wearing them becomes uncomfirtable when wearing regular socks. They're very warm, expertly water-proofed, and do well on ice. 4.0 out of 5 stars Very good deal for a sturdy snow boot.

@Afterlight, No, you don't need snow boots, just walking type boots. Nothing special. Pretty much anything will do as long as they're waterproof and have decent grip.

“This system is worth it for the head-turning and jealousy of your mates when you get off the lift and nab the first line of fresh before them. I've been riding the Step-On bindings with the Burton Process and they've worked flawlessly. ... Only downside – if you don't fit a Burton boot you'll struggle….

There are two main types of bindings – strap-in bindings and speed entry bindings (a.k.a Rear Entry Bindings). There are others but they are rear these days and highly specialized. If you want to learn about different types in terms of styles (e.g. freestyle, freeride beginner etc) click the link below.

Well, as you may well realise, a wide snowboard makes it more difficult to initiate an edge change, therefore making it more difficult to turn. So here we must now find the perfect waist width for our board in relation to our feet.
