There might never have been a better year to run for the hills (or mountaintops). Mountain sports are fun and exhilarating and they keep you outdoors and for the most part socially distanced, too, with that ski lift or gondola being the possible exception. But hey, the mask you wear to stay safe from COVID-19 will handily keep your face warmer, too, to it’s all silver linings over here. Before you can hit the slopes, you will go course need some trusted hardware you can strap to your boots that will help you make the most of the snow.
The best way to enjoy said white stuff is with an elusive deal on a snowboard during the two biggest holiday shopping events, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. While Black Friday might be over there’s still time to snag a great last-minute deal today on Cyber Monday. We’ve highlighted all the sales to make your next snowborading trip pleasantly affordable.

Sure, Cyber Monday deals are all about the money, but getting a great deal on a board that’s all wrong for you is anything but crunchy. If you’re already a seasoned rider, then you know what you’re looking at and let the price tag be the deciding factor. If you’re newer to boarding, you need to take some time to choose the right hardware. If you are all about cruising downhill with a jump or two thrown in once you’re comfy riding, get an all-mountain snowboard, which is designed for slopes, moguls, some woods, and light tricks. If you want to jump off of and slide over everything you see, go with a freestyle board. And if you want to go deep into the backcountry pow and bowls, consider a powder board with a directional shape and plenty of surface area.
Next, make sure you carefully consider the size of your prospective board. Boards are sized based on rider weight, not height, so a few reference points: a 120-pound rider would want about a 150 CM board. A 160-pound guy needs about a 160 CM snowboard. And a 200-pound fellah needs a 165 CM board for proper support and weight displacement. As for width, if you wear a shoe that’s size 11 or bigger, get a wide board. Size 10 and under, a standard width is all good.
Whether you prefer skiing or snowboarding, there’s no need for “busting” down retail shop doors this year; the best snowboard deals for Cyber Monday are all online. Here are five places you’ll definitely want to look for ’em and we’ve highlighted the best snowboarding brands to look out for:
