Snowboards come in different lengths, widths, stiffness and design. They are measured in centimeters from tip to tail with the last two numbers sometimes incorporated into the board’s name. Shorter boards are preferred by beginners because they maneuver better. Taller boards are meant for riding big mountain terrain. The width is also a consideration. Too much distance between the feet and the edges makes it difficult to apply pressure to get the board to turn,

Salomon takes these factors into account in the production of Salomon snowboards. They have a collection of boards, boots and bindings for men, women and the young. Choose from versatile mountain designs like the sick stick. What makes the sick stick ride so well is the tapered twin shape. Stance is centered within the effective edge while the tail is pulled in slightly to help with floatation
