Snowboard Waxing 101: What to expect at a shop
In this video, we dive deep into the world of snowboard maintenance, focusing specifically on the importance and process of waxing your snowboard.
Regular waxing is not just a luxury for your board; it's a crucial step in prolonging its lifespan and enhancing your on-mountain performance. Our expert from Ski N' See in Sandy, Utah, takes us through each step of the waxing process, sharing valuable insights and tips along the way.
First, Sam emphasizes the preventive aspect of waxing, highlighting how it fills the base's pores to create a protective barrier against wear and tear. This simple maintenance routine can significantly extend the usability of your snowboard, keeping the P-Tex healthy and reducing the risk of edge delamination.
In this comprehensive tutorial, we cover everything from cleaning the board to applying the wax and achieving that smooth, gliding surface. Sam demonstrates the use of specialized snowboard cleaners and clean cloths to ensure a pristine base before waxing.
Using a hand wax and a carefully heated iron, Sam applies the wax evenly, explaining the differences between cold-weather wax and all-season wax for optimal performance in various snow conditions.
After letting the wax cool and solidify, Sam demonstrates the scraping process to remove excess wax, leaving behind a sleek, waxed surface ready for the slopes.
Whether you're a seasoned snowboarder or just starting, this video provides essential knowledge for maintaining your gear and maximizing your riding experience. Don't miss out on these valuable tips from "The Gear Lady"!
For reference, our pricing for hand waxing is $25 and $10 for standard waxing, making it accessible for all snowboarders to invest in the longevity and performance of their boards.

    The only question left is can you use the top choices with your phone or pad or, or do you have to take them off. It gets so windy here some winters and we end up losing power. It gets really boring if we're snowed on in the middle of the day. You(if you wanna) should make a short testing how they do against a phone.

    Taught myself over covid at 47, 3 seasons later I'd consider myself an advanced rider but I gotta be careful doing tricks. I can remember falling day 2 and hitting the ground with my fist frustrated thinking I'll never be able to do this. Now I ride switch, butter, and can do 180s and almost have my 360 dialed in. Great sport. My advice is give it a solid week. I can imagine how hard it would be only going once a month

    Hey! Great review! Your video had two of the ones I love! I ended up returning the Kuhl jacket due to reading reviews about the jacket feeling wet on the outside due to the new technology even though it’s still waterproof on the inside. Did you find the Kuhl repelled the water or felt wet? I love how quiet the Kuhl jacket is though! I love the Patagonia in the colour you got. Did you find yours got dirty easily? Thats my worry haha! Thanks so much 🫶🏻

    I think most people don’t realize that snowboarding really didn’t come on the mainstream scene until the 1980’s so most snowboarders who grew up with are in their 50’s. I am 52 and I board every season. If you are on green trails and not in the terrain park I am sure you will see snowboarders in their 70’s in 10-20 years. I plan to be one.

    Blows my mind, I’ve seen multiple videos of people testing boots and gloves this type of way, that they don’t realize all the heat is escaping out the open end. The glove isn’t open when your hand is in it. It needs to be closed. So you aren’t really measuring how warm they are because ones with a tight cuff is going to lose less heat out the opening vs one that is loose and open.

    I'll represent for the women. I started snowboarding at 29 years old and am now 56 and still at it. I have only recently missed a few seasons due to Covid and moving away from the Tahoe area. My 16 year old has skied since age 4 and I can't get him to come to the dark side ;). Last year for the very first time I started to wonder/worry about this age thing, and if I could imagine myself SNOWBOARDING in my 60's and 70's. It is normal to see men skiing in this age group but I never see women snow boarding at my age. It got me wondering if I had chosen the wrong snow sport. There is a fair amount of being on your ass, sitting or falling, which is just a fact when you push yourself. I don't mind it, it comes with the territory. Luckily I have never been hurt, but I stay on the edge of my skill level and took lots of one on one lessons to speed up my learning curve when I started (and to not let bad habits creep in). I also surfed in the 80's on my high school team in Huntington Beach but stopped when my family moved. Discovering snow boarding was a dream come true. The mountain doesn't move!!! And you don't wait in line for 'your turn'. I am going to continue to do this until something tells me I can't. I just don't do jumps (just little ones when no one is looking) and I don't bomb down the mountain, and I no longer will ski in bad conditions, no ice... I truly enjoy cruising and carving down blues, no longer into blacks. I would say I am upper level intermediate singer directional freestyler gal. I haven't tried to switch. I stick to what I am comfortable with. 3 moms and I took our sons on a Mom/Son trip to Keystone last year. You would have thought they would have been over it being with only 'moms', especially my son who broke his collar bone on a box! But they begged to do it again this year so here we go, it's a new tradition and the dad's are a little jealous! But I am the only mom who snowboards in the group and the other mom's seemed impressed, and that is when Ii realized I was a little bit of a freak of nature, or maybe a unicorn!? And I realized how much MORE physically challenging it is, than skiing, just on the 'up and down', sitting and squatting, cat trails, ski lift, ALL of it is a bit more taxing it seems. BUT, I HAVE DISCOVERED: snowboarding and surfing seem to be the two sports where you only get more 'cred' from the kids the older you are, which cracks me up!!!!

A year later, it fully back to what I was doing in my early 20… How long have you been snowboarding for?
