Top five snowboarding websites

EasyLoungin
A small forum with some of the best discussions on topics from riding techniques to next year’s gear. EasyLoungin also has an active classifieds section to buy and trade snowboarding gear.

Shayboarder
A small blog run through the eyes of a female rider living and working in Mammoth. The author has done some very hard work in the previous years making friends with people in the industry, and the result is some very informative interviews with industry professionals.

GearTrade
While not a website specifically dedicated to snowboarding, Geartrade has a massive assortment of used goods for sale, ranging from boards to outerwear. With some patience and attention to detail, you can easily find some great deals.

YoBeat
A blog-ish website that features a multitude of content, from small reader-submitted video edits, to interviews with pro riders. Its motto is “making fun of snowboarding since 1997.”

R/snowboarding
A section of the main website Reddit, R/snowboarding, a sub-Reddit, is probably the most beginner-friendly place for people with questions. The community has a very varied skill base, and hosts discussion topics for all types of riders.
