As with any athletes participating in team sports, snowboarders have things that they must do to prepare for the season, a sort of preseason habit. The most important of these are checking old equipment and buying new accessories to make the upcoming months on the mountain better. N.J. Buying new equipment is a step which has a good psychological effect for the season as well. But the maintenance of old equipment is equally if not more important. This includes buying new outerwear and waxing the base of his snowboard.
Many riders talk about the importance of getting equipment ready for the snowboarding season.
The cost of snowboarding is pricey for equipment alone, but it can get even more expensive when it comes time to buy passes to the mountain. Some riders find a way around this by working at Ski Mountains and getting a free season pass as part of the deal. I'm hoping to be a waiter at the Sugarbush Inn. Of course, taking on a job and being a full-time college student require careful planning of a schedule to fit everything in. Part of setting up an appropriate schedule includes preregistering for classes next semester in the mornings so the afternoons can be spent on the mountain.
