This post is all about my snowboarding gear: boots, boards, bindings, and mini reviews for each setup I’ve ridden.

If you’re looking for cute snowboarding outfits on any budget, I already have a full post for that right here. But this post? It’s strictly gear. I own three boards (yes, three), and I’ll be breaking each one down in more detail soon on YouTube.

And I won’t be doing it alone, my boyfriend will be joining me for that video. He’s been snowboarding for over 10 years and also happens to be a top-ranked sales pro in the winter sports industry (which, if you didn’t know, is super niche and not easy to sell in). On top of that, he’s got 10+ years of experience in sales in general—he actually got his start in real estate—so he knows more about my boards than I do. Don’t @ me.

That said, I didn’t get into snowboarding because of him. I met him through it. I showed up to learn on my own, and we just clicked. We’ve been inseparable ever since. And yes, he’s taught me a lot (even with a metal rod in his spine, no joke), but only when I asked. I always wanted to learn how to ride, it just so happens I met someone who pushes me to be even better.

Stay tuned though! My boyfriend is going to list out everything he wears, rides, and uses so I can put together a guide for the stray men around here. Or for the women who date them to get an idea as to what your snowboard-loving man might want as a gift.

Height: 5'5" (165 cm)
- I'm 5'5", but I have ridiculously long legs for my height — my inseam is 30" (76 cm), so I ride like someone taller. This impacts how certain boards and stances feel underfoot, especially at higher speeds or deeper carves.
  My proportions lean athletic hourglass: longer legs, defined waist, broader shoulders, and strong legs from years of movement-heavy hobbies. That combo definitely influences what feels stable or responsive under my feet.
Weight: 125-132" lbs (56.7–59.9 kg)
- When I first got started in the sport I would fluctuate between 119-125 lbs, but as of June 2025 I’m 132 lbs. I lose weight quickly, therefore, I fluctuate between 125-132 depending on how much I workout or am sedentary.
Stance Width: TBA | Angles: TBA
- I can’t remember my stance or angles at the top of my head, and I don’t feel like pulling out my board to check at the moment. So check back soon!
Waist to Ground: 41" (104.14 cm)
Hip to Ground: 35" (88.9 cm)
Shoulder Width: 19" (48.26 cm)
Regular Shoe Size: 7
Snowboard Boot Size: 6.5

2023 Kids’ Burton Custom Smalls Camber Snowboard

(145, $349.95)

https://tidd.ly/47pH1bq

My first ever board, bought in June 2023 when things were more on sale since the season was over—plus being a kids' board made it even more budget-friendly. This is MUCH stiffer than my other boards, but honestly it progressed me significantly as a rider. Over time I realized it was too stiff for how I wanted to ride, though it had exactly the control I desired in a board.

The Custom comes out annually with fresh graphics each year, and there's an adult version with identical specs—I'm fun-sized so I fit perfectly within the height and weight range for the kids' 145 size, but it's the same high-quality board just scaled down.

While it wasn't the perfect match for my riding style long-term, it was an excellent foundation board that really helped develop my skills and gave me a solid understanding of what I needed in future setups. I still own it and appreciate what it taught me about board performance.

2024 Women’s Burton Rewind Camber Snowboard

(145, $529.95)

https://tidd.ly/4fy0DvX

Got this for around $300 during a Big Snow sale as my second board, and I still own it with plans to redo the top sheet using stickers from my own shop since the original design isn't my style. The Rewind is another annual release from Burton that comes back each year with fresh graphics, so there are always new designs to choose from.

It's much more playful than my Custom—super soft and flexible rather than stiff, which gives it great speed but lacks the control I need for certain conditions. I struggled with it at Gore Mountain where the snow was packed and icy, though it performed better at Blue Mountain in PA during January. Even after getting it sharpened, it still didn't give me the control I was looking for, and honestly had too much pop for my preference. However, it's fantastic for the terrain park thanks to that soft, playful feel that makes it forgiving for tricks and jumps.

2025 Women’s Ride TwinPig Snowboard

(142, $359.00, original price $569.95)

2025: https://tinyurl.com/2025-RIDE-twinpig

2026: https://tinyurl.com/RIDE-twinpig

Literally my favorite board—I was nervous it wouldn't be a perfect match, but it totally exceeded expectations. It delivers the speed I was craving while offering control I didn't anticipate, letting me launch off blues and recover quickly when I mess up.

My boyfriend's friends have actually said "I tried everything to keep up with her and I can't—she's just so fast!" and my boyfriend always grins because he knows it finally clicked for me.

Everyone is genuinely shocked at how fast I ride on this board compared to my previous setup—the difference is absolutely wild. The TwinPig is a staple that Ride releases annually with fresh graphics each year, so there's always a new look to choose from. I absolutely LOVE MINE! I had a mini thunderbolt on my Burton Custom, so this feels electrifying and kind of like a full circle of growth. In a way.

Snagged this beauty from The Boardroom during their Boxing Day sale, which made the upgrade even sweeter. You can also get this board on Amazon.

2025 TwinPig Amazon | 2026 TwinPig Amazon

The 2025 version is sold out everywhere but Amazon, simply because the graphics change every year. I would highly recommend buying THEE Ride Twinpig from their official website, but if you want the 2025 graphics i linked it.

Burton Women’s Limelight BOA Snowboard Boots

(Size: 6.5, Stout White, $339.95)

https://tidd.ly/4kQ7Zxm

I originally bought a completely different pair of snowboard bootsin size 7—my regular shoe size—but learned the hard way that they packed out and I was given poor sizing advice. Super frustrating to have to buy a whole new pair!

QUICK TIP: always go half a size down and eventually get them heat molded. Boots need to be tight against your toes because if they're too roomy, you'll start flying out of them like I did. Going half a size down will be uncomfortable initially, but it's a short-term sacrifice for long-term performance.

These Limelight BOAs are great overall, though one boot fits perfectly while the other takes about three runs to feel right. The front and side dials let me adjust everything I need, though I typically only use the front adjustment. I've also discovered that sock choice is crucial—I have to wear Stance socks with these boots or I can't focus on my riding. Socks are honestly a huge factor in your entire setup.

Oakley Line Miner Snow Goggles

(Matte Black / Prizm Snow Hi Pink, Medium, $150)

https://mavely.app.link/e/DhwIHVwOgZb

These came with an extra lens for different conditions, though I don't night ride after two bad experiences—my boyfriend feels the same way about it. So I stick with the main Prizm lens all day, even when riding indoors, and they're incredibly comfortable for extended wear.

If you're wondering whether there's a real difference between quality Oakley goggles and cheap Amazon alternatives—absolutely. The big brands have the science and technology behind their optics, while my early cheap goggles created blind spots that made snowboarding frustrating and unsafe.

You can tell who's serious about the sport versus who's just starting out, and while I'm all for beginning where your budget allows, investing in quality goggles will serve you for years. That said, I'm already eyeing an upgrade to magnetic interchangeable lenses for my next pair.

Smith Code MIPS Helmet

(Winter 2023, Matte Black, Medium, $210)

https://tinyurl.com/Smith-mips-helmet

Despite having a pretty tiny head, I actually need a medium because of how helmets are sized—but the adjustable straps and rear dial make it fit perfectly.

The top of this helmet tells the story of my learning curve—it's so banged up and scratched that people are genuinely shocked when they see it. I definitely eat shit out there, but that's exactly why helmets are non-negotiable for me. This one has taken a beating and kept me safe, though I'm probably due for a replacement soon.

Next time around, I'm hoping to find one in white or pink to switch up the look while keeping that same level of protection. Wanna hear the story of the time I get pinned under a chair lift? xD And lived to tell the tale! I could’ve been decapitated!

Women’s Burton Lexa X Re:Flex Snowboard Bindings

(Winter 2023, Black / Stout White / Logo, Medium, $329.95)

https://tidd.ly/4oxEx0S

I picked these up in June 2023 when Big SNOW had limited stock available, so I basically went with whatever was in my size & recommended to me rather than being picky about color. The Lexa X Re:Flex is a solid binding that Burton brings back annually with updated colorways—and they've released some really stunning designs since I got mine. I actually scraped off the original graphics and covered them with kawaii stickers to make them more my style. While these have served me well, I'm already eyeing pink Union bindings for my Ride Twinpig board as my next upgrade.

Burton Gig Snowboard Bag

(Winter 2022, Gray Heather Print, 146, $124.95)

https://tidd.ly/45MQGHK

This has become my go-to storage solution for keeping all three of my snowboards organized in the closet. Two are stored without bindings while one has bindings attached, and the bag keeps them all protected from dust and dings. While I don't use it for travel, it's perfect for home organization and gives me peace of mind that my boards are staying in good condition during the off-season.

Shein Adjustable Snowboard Sleeve Bag

(Black, 145cm, $22.80)

https://mavely.app.link/e/dRZndUKOgZb

This budget find was originally $32.80 but came down with Shein's typical coupon stacking—and honestly, the fact that Shein even HAD snowboard gear is surprising. While it's now sold out everywhere (including a brief stint on Amazon), this sleeve makes transporting my board incredibly convenient. The one-size design accommodates boards from 140-160cm, so it works perfectly for my setup and takes all the hassle out of getting to the mountain or Big SNOW.

adidas Originals Santiago Duffel Bag

($50, Pink)

https://amzn.to/4lrr2gq

This compact duffel has been my go-to for snowboard trips—it perfectly fits my boots, helmet, goggle case, 3 pairs of gloves, a snack pouch, and a packing cube of clothes without any wasted space. Unfortunately, the pink is no longer available, but I've found an excellent alternative in The North Face Base Camp Voyager Duffel (42L, $135 in Pink Moss/White Dune), which I now use for all my travels. The North Face option actually offers more space than a standard carry-on suitcase while maintaining that perfect balance of durability and packability that made the original Santiago such a winner.
