Snowboarding the Deepest Powder in Whistler

[@maximumeffort4237]

I cant be more thankful for your channel man. I started snowboarding at the end of last month and by just watching and slowly applying your instructions on beginner slopes I’m finally hitting jumps and grabs surpassing some my friends. I must admit though skateboarding and free time to be able to snowboard was on my side. Still your teachings are so clear and precise that anyone who can observe then imitate a move almost immediately can learn easily

[@justasnowball]

That's some fast progression my guy, rails are also quite easy on a snowboard

[@maximumeffort4237]

@@justasnowball thank you. They are especially when taking them straight on. Turning for a front or back board slide though is harder.

[@jakewitchel228]

snowboarding is my favorite thing ever

[@lynxone9434]

Welcome to the gang!

[@justasnowball]

Especially when you get confident enough to hit the groomed runs full speed carving. Oh man that is nice. Oh and rails are also fun and quite easy once you get the basics of edge control and turning down. I'd recommend skipping the box rails and start with the normal rails that you don't have to jump on, easiest way to get confident on rails. Just get some speed and stay in a solid position through out. I'd also recommend a back protector, mine has saved my back from breaking atleast 2 times.

Hey dude, I just moved upto ogden, just north of slc. Would you recommend powder mtn or snow basin for a first timer?

[@brendanprice3432]

@@kevinr1051 I’m pretty new to the scene but I would say go for snow basin. I’m from Logan area and Snowbasin seems to be the go to resort. I would download skiutah it’s an app that shows snowfall at each resort so you could see what it looks this year and then use that info for next year.

[@impeanut3505]

Is it okay to start snowboarding without a good board?

[@rtabrizi]

looking at your videos, @Blaine cox, I think it's fair to say your board is fine for a casual/moderate slope in one's backyard. But for both you and @It's Peanuts, I think a solid, secure board is the best when going on legitimate slopes for the sake of both mobility and, most importantly, safety.

[@ellstackeradventures]

Yes

[@eamonshields2754]

Yes

[@akselgulsvik]

Good doesn't have to mean expensive though. You could buy second hand! That's what I did for my first board.

[@th3oryO]

If you have metal edges that's probably good enough. Don't need new/expensive gear to ride, and often beginners can't tell the difference

[@TheSputniikbiet]

Hey Kevin, is the treehunter your favourite powder board? You not really riding the bataleon. HOw does the ultra mind expander compare to the treehunter vs Orca ??? Review Soon?

[@tatnaiburnett]

Which helmet mount are you using? Have a link? Thanks in advance.

[@tahiramerali3983]

Do you have any tips on how to ride in deep powder in treees?

[@CheeseOnEverything]

I noticed u have the gopro max, u know if u use that on your selfie stick but keep it dead straight instead of angling it, you won't see ur stick in the shot. Swap ur 9 to ur helmet cam, turn on 360 mod and use ur max on the stick. It'll make everything look a lot better.

[@rushthezeppelin]

Lucky, wish we would get a storm that big in the Colorado central mountains. Been a bit of a pitiful year so far here. That said I've had a few really good pow laps in places.

Just got into snowboarding. Is it worth buying new gear or should I just get used

[@ianmichael9224]

I would just get used if you can ,except for boots ,I think its better to get new ones so the liner molds to your foot etc. And as far as board sizing I wouldn't get anything to big, smaller is easier to control when you are just getting into it.

[@WantonMyth]

If you're sure you want to do snowboarding for the long haul, I would buy new gear - that is on sale. Shop around, check all the websites - even look at what the other hemisphere is offering. Don't buy the most expensive product in the line. Buy what's comfortable and will last you for a few seasons. Beware the second hand snowboard. Many are old, beaten-up and just not right for you. I would buy your first snowboard from a reputable shop, in person, where they will find a board that is the right size in proportion to your height and weight, and the right flex, and also not too hard on your wallet. Get a board that is easy riding, but won't limit you in your progression. I would recommend an all-mountain board.

[@parker_messick]

@@WantonMyth actually just purchased off of level 9 sports have rented a few times so had a decent size range to pick from felt pretty comfortable on all sizes I got the rossignol angus that was on sale and then level 9s entry level durable but cheap g1 bindings and then rodeo boa boots

@@parker_messick Very well done. Enjoy it :)

@@WantonMyth thanks man! Hoping the boots and bindings last at least 2 seasons I know the board was a good buy but not sure about the package bindings 😬

Good video

[@TimeToRelaxGaming]

recently found this channel and fell in love. Never had the chance or money to snowboard when I was lil due to location and money. Now that I make enough and have a better/steadier source of income. Does anyone have recommendations on starter gear/a budget amount? For example I know not to dump money on the expensive stuff since I wont need it but would it be better to invest like 1k total or 2k total? Thanks for any help/tips :D

[@Globmonster-tk3fb]

1k is fine for now

[@EFakie]

I would suggest doing weeks of research when you first get started. It may be daunting but it will help you tremendously. What type of board to get? What conditions does each board excel in? Do I want softer bindings or harder ones? There a bunch of variables. You can also find some nice starter gear that'll last you a few seasons and you can upgrade a piece or two every season as per what you need/want... and watch hella youtube videos

[@th3oryO]

Don't buy a 2k setup out of the gate man, seriously not worth it. Imho get a good used board/binding setup, clap it out, and then buy new after a couple seasons when you have a better idea of what you want. I myself didn't move to a 2k setup until more than 10 years on the hill lol. Also if you're including outerwear skip the goretex unless you're like Kevin and boarding on the coast, only time I get wet is when it's raining or I forget to clean off the chairlift
