Your Level
|
Snowboarder Beginner to Intermediate | You discover the technique of Back and Front turn. You have mastered the dead leaf and the total stop. You try to control your trajectory, you slalom easily between the other practitioners. You are the Boss on the green and blue slopes but the red and black slopes make you tremble. |
|
Snowboarder Experienced to Expert | You have mastered cut driving. You no longer tremble at the thought of putting your board across a rail. You have already exceeded the speed of sound in a direct trace in the powder. |
Your Practice
|
Versatile or Slopes Snowboarder | You like big turns on groomed slopes. You started with Alpine surfing. Looking for a snowboard that takes you everywhere all day long. You risk yourself off-piste when the conditions are good. You do a few jumps when you feel happy and comfortable. |
|
Freestyle Snowboarder | You are a jumping junkie. You take all the bumps that come in front of you when you ride. You spend your day walking up the Pipe and you spend the rest of the night with a shovel to prepare for the next jump. |
|
Freeride Snowboarder | You can't stand authority. You want to surf where you want, when you want. You are a defender of the free riding. You prefer expanses of powder snow to snow groomer tracks. You surf with a transceiver, a shovel and a probe. |
Snowboard Pack : are the bindings mounted on the Snowboard?
When purchasing a snowboard pack, the bindings are not fitted to the board due to shipping constraints.

Sustainable Development by Valetmont
 |
In order to reduce the ecological impact of skiing, we can try to reduce the use of natural resources necessary for the manufacture of alpine ski equipment. For this it is necessary to make your equipment last as long as possible by maintaining it regularly. For your pair of ski boots, remember to dry them by removing the liner from the shell and then keeping it by closing the hooks so that the plastic does not deform. At the end of the season, you can take the slipper out to wash it, some slippers are machine washable. Replace the inner sole of the liner as soon as it seems damaged to regain comfort immediately. It is also possible to replace the heels of plastic shells which wear out when walking on hard surfaces. When your ski boots are at the end of their life, you can return them to us when purchasing new ski boots. We take care of recycling your ski equipment in partnership with the Tri-Vallées waste reprocessing company. |
