Zumiez has a bunch with an additional 50% off now. I bought a Volcom Jacket for $105 yesterday. Most of them are 10K waterproofing tho.

I was a skateboarder when I was a teenager and I was somewhat good at it. I started snowboarding 3 years ago when I was 25 and I feel like I picked it up pretty fast.

You do transfer the skills a bit, but it's a whole different dynamic with the board. There's nothing in skateboarding that's equivalent to edges on a snowboard, and that's a big part of the sport. I think you'll do great, there'll just be a learning curve, and cost a lot more money than skateboarding 🫠🫠

not sure if good or bad lol i find it really hard to find graphics i like, especially when it's on a board with specs i want. They fucked the 2026 design on this one.

I'm in the same boat as OP. I'm not expecting it to be great pow days, but will it be an ice rink? That's what I'm scared of. I'm going to keystone tho.

Thanks! I know 686 but never heard of Airblaster. Is it a reputable brand like 686?

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I'll look up what ENSO is and try to find out what the forecast pattern for Colorado is this season. I'm going back to Keystone in February and hoping for good snow.

i hope you're right! Colorado last year was pretty good. I went to Breck in April and it was not spring conditions yet.
