With winter approaching fast, all snowboarders are getting hype. The count down begins to when your local Resort will be opening. A few things to do before the season goes under way. First thing to do is get out all your snowboarding gear and wash it. Make sure there are no mice in your boots from sitting all of off season. Have your board taken to your ski shop or a friend so that it can be sharpened and waxed. This will help bring your board back to brand new from when you tore it up last season. It allows you to carve more and shred down the mountain. Also make sure your bindings are tight and still fit your feet. If not you may need to go out and buy a new set of bindings. With those things on the list done, you will be ready to shred down the mountain in no time at all.
