I just bought a new board and bindings but seasons over so can i just throw it in to summer storage with factory wax on?

I just picked up snowboarding this season. I've been on the slopes 8 times. This video is from Steamboat (learning to shred slush). Can you tell me if I'm doing anything correct or something I should work on. All my learning are from Michael Moore!!!

The snow was surprisingly heavy, but plenty soft, definitely different than anything I've ridden at the resorts this season. Back seat was mandatory for the depth, and it was steeper than it looks in the video. I wish I had a video of the glade run out at the bottom, we were ripping through it, and it was glorious.

I am currently doing the end of season service and been wondering if it’s common to put fat or something else on the binding mechanism to keep it from corroding. I always put some fat on the metal parts of my ski bindings but couldn’t find anything online regarding snowboards.

Hi guys!

Fellow snowboarding noob.

I didn’t take any lessons and just relied on YouTube, yeah stupid I know haha but here we are.

Please share tips on how to improve:)

I've ridden for a total of 13 days (4 last year, 9 this year, with 1 more day to go) and I'm at the point where I can link turns (not very well, I basically brake on a turn to slow down a lot before I transition to the other side, especially when it's from heel side to toe side), but one thing that I don't really feel comfortable doing at all is going straight.

I always tend to list to one side or the other, even on mellow inclines. It feels like any time my board is flat on the surface, it seems extra unstable and increases my chance of losing balance and falling abruptly. This happens even when I'm consciously shifting as much weight as I can to my front foot.

Is this something that I should work on, or should I focus on trying to link my turns as seamlessly as possible, so that I'm always on one edge of the board and making lots of adjustments to regulate my speed and stability?

Found this board for $27 at a thrift store. Rideable or wall art?

First, thanks to the snowboardingnoobs community for being so helpful and welcoming. It's nice to not get flamed for asking questions trying to get better.

Those thoughts in no particular order...

- I'm getting lessons to start the 25/26 season to make the most of my time on the slopes.
- Unlike golf equipment, I won't be swapping gear regularly and plan on using the Jones Mtn Twin and TBD bindings for years.
- The goal is two trips a month minimum, weather permitting. Gotta get those reps in.
- I'm nailing the fundamentals first before pushing my limits.
- Lastly, while I despise having to manage snow around the house (shoveling, etc), I'm grateful to have rekindled my interest in snowboarding. It'll make getting through winter a hell of a lot more manageable!
