2/16/2012 - It's been YEARS since I've updated this. I've been extremely busy and haven't even been on a board in years. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PM me if you have a great site you'd like to share. I'm going to try to keep this more up to date, but I'm gonna need some help. After you PM me with a BRIEF review, then please post a full review here in this thread to share with the whole community. Thanks everyone,

Okay, so I've got a few sites that I know of that I can reccomend from personal experience. Anyone else willing to contribute, please do. I'll update this post with other sites :)


Tactics Board Shop
I've ordered a helmet and goggles from these guys before, and they were decently priced. Only thing I didn't like was that they took a bit more time to ship the stuff off, but it was all the correct stuff and in one piece, so I can't complain.4 out of 5 stars

BuySnow.com
Great reviews from many members of the site! Highly reccommended!

Great Site, not a huge selection but strong customer service and awesome deals
EternalSnow.com
A lot of people recommend this site. I've always gotten my products quickly, and in one piece... but they haven't always been the products I've ordered. I've called them up, and sorted things out quickly and easily, but the original shipment should have my stuff in it!

The House Boardshop
Great site, and highly recommended. Great customer service, and prices. Everything was shipped quickly, and I got lots of free stuff including stickers (I love stickers).

Peter Glenn Ski & Sports
Since 1958 Peter Glenn has been providing exceptional customer service and carrying some of the best outdoor gear available. With our roots in Vermont, we know how important it is to be warm, dry, and comfortable, and how the right outdoor gear can make or break a trip. So come in and look around - we have tons of new products on the site every day.

Steep and Cheap
SAC has some of the best deals on the net, you just have to catch them. Always great shipping and great prices

Ordered a huge package with a friend: few boards, few pairs of bindings, bags & other accessories. The packages came in 4 days, all the way from Austria. Best site for Europe order in my opinion.

My product lineup this year is relatively simple, Smith, Northwave/Drake, Oneballjay, Polarmax, and Sessions. My new brands next season are GNU, Nitro, Oz Snowboards, Unity Snowboards, Donek Snowboards, Dragon, Electric, Spy, Dye, Grenade, and Bon Hiver. I'm going at it hard in the fall and hope I can bring something new to the table. What I really want to do is a consolidation of all the Colorado snowboard brands on my website, so far I have a few guys on page.

here's a update.

I got the boots from snocon, but they were 2 different sizes, so I sent them back, took about 2 weeks to get a refund. :\ nice people, but the refund could have come sooner.

I found the same boots from a site called || RIPTANK - Snow - Wake - Skate ||. They showed up in a couple days, and were perfect. I also called them on the phone before ordering and they were friendly and answered all my questions. I would order from both sites again, but I would go to riptank first.

Overstock.com They have alot of winter gear right now. Clothes, bindings, boards, boots, goggles. I got some incredible new pants for $22.00 including shipping. Some stuff listed isn't exactly top-shelf but some stuff is.

Shipping is only $2.95 and sometimes it is free. They drop the prices around Wednesday or Thursday if an item is selling slowly.


It only take 2 days for items to arrive in the Denver area from Salt Lake City.

Online snowboard retailer

I have purchased a few boards online and have been disappointed but I just bought a board from morrellboards.com and it is awesome! They have so many cool graphics to choose from and you get to pick your core and base. I chose an aspen core (better for freestyle) and a sintered base (faster then extruded) and the board rides better than any board have tried. I love that you can pick a graphic and design the board how you want it.

For the overseas people! Anybody here use WorldPurchases.com to buy things? My schoolmate said that he can get Burton snowboard bindings for cheaper than Australia. They basically take your order and forward the item to you overseas. As a cost comparison Bindings here can cost anywhere up to $400, whereas i've seen the same ones on many U.S. websites for only $130.

You guys in the States are so lucky. :dunno:

True Snowboards - Advanced Snowboard Design and Engineering - snowboards engineered in the uk, imported to canada by yours truly! i can personally attest to the fact that our products are quality & our shipping service is top notch. (because i do it myself!)

oh, and to make things even easier for our American friends, we import the boards to washington state & ship them from there - which means no customs clearing wait times or duties & taxes to pay when your new ride shows up at the door, as we take care of all of that for you.

I'm from Canada and I ordered my snowboard gear from porterstahoe.com and they're awesome. Prices were very good (cheaper more than $200 cheaper than what I would've paid for here... for boots, bindings, and board). They have free shipping for orders over $50 to anywhere in the States so if you're close to the border you can just cross and pick it up at a mail centre (which is what I did). They do ship to Canada as well but for some reason they can't ship certain brands internationally. They explain it in their FAQ... just can't remember it now.

I ordered it on Tuesday, they called and verified information on Wed, shipped it Wed, and it arrived at Blaine on Friday. Very fast. Would definitely shop there again.

Many of the online retailers are starting to receive their 2008 products and more stores than ever are offering free shipping or flat rate shipping on certain orders. When it comes to buying a snowboard online, shipping costs and sales tax are very important things to consider and can almost always be avoided if you play your cards right. The other day I put together a list of online stores with Free Shipping offers, also detailing which states the stores are required to charge sales tax in. If there are any stores you think we should add to the list, let us know.

I've bought some gear off backcountry.com lately and they've been great, picked up a couple pair of gloves from their outlet shop at half off. Everything arives within a week, no problems. Also check gearengine.com for some awesome deals on one-off's and closeouts.
