Getting Ready for an Overseas Snowboard Trip
Getting Ready for an Overseas Snowboard Trip
Planning an overseas snowboard trip? Whether you're heading to Japan, Europe, North America or somewhere else, there's a bit more to think about than just booking flights and finding somewhere to ride.
Getting your gear sorted before you leave can make travelling a whole lot easier. Here's a few things worth thinking about before your next trip.
Snowboard Bags
First up, you'll need a way to get your board there. A proper snowboard travel bag helps protect your gear during flights and gives you somewhere to pack some of your other equipment.
Burton snowboard bags have just landed at Whiteroom, with options for getting your setup ready to travel.
Base Layers
Good layering makes a big difference when you're spending full days on the mountain. A decent set of thermal base layers will help keep you warm while still allowing you to move comfortably.
It's worth packing a couple of sets so you've always got something dry to wear.
Jackets & Pants
A good jacket and pair of pants are essential for pretty much any snowboard trip. Conditions can change throughout the day, so having outerwear that can handle different weather is important.

Bindings & Setup
It's worth checking over your snowboard setup before you travel. Make sure your bindings are in good condition, your hardware is sorted and everything is ready to go.
Burton bindings are another recent arrival at Whiteroom.
The Smaller Essentials
It's easy to forget the smaller things when packing for a trip. Make sure you've got the basics covered:
-
Gloves or mitts

Goggles and spare lenses

Neck warmer or balaclava
-
Helmet
-
Spare binding hardware

Get Your Gear Sorted
A bit of preparation before leaving can save you a lot of hassle once you're overseas. Check your airline's snowboard baggage allowance, pack your gear properly and make sure everything is ready before departure.
