Here’s some helpful advice for novice snowboarders deciding on what equipment and clothing to buy to make their first snowboarding holiday memorable.

Don’t forget to pack……………………..

Wrist Guards

Don’t skimp on cheap solid wrist guards as these can do more damage than good. It is worth spending a bit of money on professional wrist guards that have a bit of flexibility. The problem with solid plastic wrist guards they will transfer all the shock to where the guard finishes up your arm or further up to you elbow. If you opt for a guard with flexibility but also enough solid support this will be a lot safer and distribute the shock evenly. Don’t forget to buy a pair of gloves that fit over them.

Impact Shorts

These padded shorts come with padding around the thigh and hip area and the all important coccyx (tail bone) protector. The coccyx protector stops the shock of a fall travelling up your spine. When you have a pair of these on and you fall backwards, it is surprising how little you feel, even on hard snow. This makes it less temping to put your hands down and possibly breaking your wrist.

Goggles

You can either buy two pairs of goggles or two lenses depending on what you prefer. You will need one pair for bright light and another for dark foggy conditions. It is surprising how much the light can change on the mountain day to day.

Snowboard Clothing

For most first time snowboarders the first holiday is always a massive hit to the bank balance even if you end up renting a board the cost of clothing can add up. If you want to do it on a shoestring you can pick up cheap snowboard jackets during the summer months before the winter season starts.

I usually wear my regular snowboard jacket on cold days or just cloudy days. But when its sunny out it gets really hot and i usually wear a normal hoodie or a shirt with Under Armour under it. But the stuff thats not water proof always gets iced on the bottom and its really annoying.

Any suggestions?
