  • Les skis<\/strong><\/span> :<\/span><\/span>
    Le choix d’un ski de piste s’effectue principalement en fonction de votre niveau de pratique.<\/strong> Vous souhaitez \u00e9largir votre terrain de jeu et avoir des skis plus polyvalents pour vous aventurer hors des pistes ? Il existe des skis All Moutain et des skis d\u00e9di\u00e9s au freeride.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    – Les diff\u00e9rents \u00e9l\u00e9ments d’un ski et \u00e0 leur influence sur son comportement :<\/span>
    The waist<\/strong> is situated amid the ski, where the bindings lay. Its width<\/strong> goes from 68 mm for the racing skis to 80 mm for the most accessible alpine skis.
    The tip,<\/strong>in front ofthe ski<\/strong>, is softer on the accessible skis. It often has a soft rocker (progressive tip) for more versatility on powder.
    The tail,<\/strong>cut and stiff on the racing skis for an agressive edging, it's softer for the skis for beginners in order to facilitate the turns
    The ski coating<\/strong> is the situated under the ski<\/strong>When the range is higher, you can find more performant, quality and lasting ski-coating.<\/p>\n

    – Le comportement d’un ski est influenc\u00e9 par ses caract\u00e9ristiques<\/span> :<\/span>
    <\/span>The dimension lines : <\/strong>it's the shape of the ski. The dimension lines are given by the width of the tip, the waist and the tail<\/strong> These three measurements are given in millimeters.
    The size :<\/strong> on the slopes choose skis between -15cm and -5cm compared to your height.<\/strong> Short skis will be manoeuvrable and appreciated by beginners while long skis will be more stable at high speed.
    The stiffness :<\/strong> we can distinguish the stiffness in the tip, the waist and the tail. A flexible tip absorbs shocks better than a rigid tip, which helps grip in hard snow. The stiffness of the waist will depend on your size and your technical level.<\/strong> The more you will use your skis, the more you will have to choose a rigid ski. Finally, the rigidity at the tail will condition the behavior of the ski when exiting a curve: catchy (rigid) or tolerant (flexible).
    The ray :<\/strong> the ray is the natural turn of a ski.<\/strong> A short ray (between 12 and 15m) facilitates small turns, while a long ray (18 to 22m) is better if you ski in large curves.
    The camber :<\/strong> it's the curvature <\/strong>of the ski, visible through the space between the sole and the snow in the middle of the ski when you put it on the ground. A marked camber is generally synonymous with nervous skiing.
    The weight :<\/strong> if the weight of an alpine ski is less than a ski touring, a light pair of skis will be more maneuverable at low speed and easier to carry.<\/p>\n

    – choisir un ski adapt\u00e9 \u00e0 son niveau :<\/span>
    The skis of accessible ranges are intended for beginners<\/strong> who want to enjoy snow and mountains, without looking for the perfect turn.<\/p>\n

    They are wide<\/strong> to facilitate the stability<\/strong> (about 75-80mm for the waist) and soft. <\/strong>A round tail will facilitate the turns<\/strong> en sortie de virage. Un skieur d\u00e9butant les choisira courts (-15cm par rapport \u00e0 sa taille) pour tourner facilement.<\/p>\n

    Les skis de piste performance :<\/span>
    Vous pourrez aller vite et avoir des prises de carres franches Orientez-vous vers des skis de la gamme performance. Ils vous accompagneront de mani\u00e8re plus ou moins sportive selon vos objectifs et votre niveau technique.<\/p>\n

    Les skis de comp\u00e9tition :<\/span><\/strong>
    Reserved for the elite of skiers, competition skis are rarely available for sale in stores. Each ski corresponds to a discipline of alpine skiing: slalom, giant, super-g and downhill.
    These skis are mostly narrow<\/strong> to facilitate the edge<\/strong> and thehook<\/strong> in curve. The transition from edge to edge is also facilitated to quickly link turns.
    With these stiff skis ,<\/strong> you will be able to stay on the edges even in the steep and icy parts of the most difficult tracks. Choose an adapted ray<\/strong> to your technique with small turns or big curves
    Very narrow and extremely stiff<\/strong> their sidecuts and size are established for the purpose of racing performance.
    They are without compromise<\/strong> and mastering them from top to bottom of a slope will be a challenge for many skiers!<\/p>\n

    Snowbord bindings<\/strong> sont en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral vendues en pack avec les skis pour les gammes piste. Elles sont alors mont\u00e9es sur un rail. voir rubrique plus bas.<\/p>\n

    • Les Chaussures<\/strong><\/span> :
      C’est un \u00e9l\u00e9ment essentiel, \u00e0 ne surtout pas n\u00e9gliger. Le choix de votre paire de chaussures de ski est d\u00e9terminant pour skier sur les pistes comme dans la poudreuse sans vous soucier de vos pieds. Nous allons donc d\u00e9velopper plus amplement cette rubrique. Interface essentielle avec vos skis, vos chaussures doivent vous apporter comfort,<\/strong> et maintien du pied.
      Finding the right model means making wise choices among various parameters such as size, flex, shell and collar shape as well as options such as walking position.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Ski boots for men<\/strong> and women<\/strong> have an ergonomics adapted to the various morphologies<\/strong>, especially in the calf which is inserted lower in women. women<\/strong> have a collar <\/strong>(high part of the boot) lower<\/strong>, more flared and with a cutout at the back to conform to the shape of the calf. The blood circulation and venous return being more sensitive in women, the slippers are generally warmer.<\/p>\n

      Le flex
      Another important data when choosing a ski boot: the flex<\/strong>. It'sthe index of the stifness of the boot<\/strong>, between 60 and 150. The choice of the flex of a ski boot is linked to the level of the skier and his morphology<\/strong>. The higher its level, the more rigidity it will need to transmit its pressure to the skis. For the same ski level, a strong build will also need a higher flex.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • For beginners<\/strong> : flex compris entre 60 et 90 chez les hommes, entre 60 et 70 chez les femmes<\/li>\n
      • Intermediate skier<\/strong> : flex entre 90 et 110 chez les hommes, 70 \u00e0 90 chez les femmes<\/li>\n
      • Expert skier<\/strong> : flex de 110 et plus chez les hommes, 90 et plus chez les femmes<\/li>\n
      • Les chaussures les plus rigides<\/strong> sont r\u00e9serv\u00e9es aux comp\u00e9titeurs de haut niveau et ont un flex de 140 \u00e0 150.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        ATTENTION, the flex index is not standardized. So there are stiffness differences between brands with equal flex<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

        You can adjust the stiffness of your shoe by adjusting the tightening of the collar: loosen the top hooks a little if you want to gain flexibility.<\/p>\n

        Choosing the right size<\/strong><\/span>
        – Lenght<\/span>
        The size of a ski boot<\/strong> is given in \"mondopoint\" and corresponds exactly to the lenght in centimeters of your foot<\/strong> . Contrary to a city shoe, a ski boot is chosen for the exact size of the foot<\/strong> of the skier. It is estimated that 75% of skiers choose one or two sizes too big!<\/p>\n

        How to measure the size of your feet<\/strong> and deduce your size in mondopoint? It's very simple :<\/p>\n

          \n
        • place a sheet of paper against a wall<\/li>\n
        • place your foot on this sheet with the heel against the wall<\/li>\n
        • do a slight flexion and mark the front of your foot with a pencil<\/li>\n
        • repeat the operation with your second foot<\/li>\n
        • measure the longest length shown on the sheet: this is your size in mondopoint<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Ski boots are generally available in half sizes. If your foot size is between two sizes, anticipate the packing of the liner by choosing the half-size below.<\/strong><\/p>\n

          – Width<\/span>
          The width of a ski boot<\/strong> is given LAST<\/strong> (width of the foot measured at the 5th metatarsus) which corresponds to the larger part of the foot<\/strong>. It can be easily measured by plotting the outline of the foot on a sheet of paper.<\/p>\n

          The width of the boot is chosen according to the skier's need for precision:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • 92 mm<\/strong> : very narrow. Reserved for competitors.<\/li>\n
          • 96 – 98 mm<\/strong> : narrow. For thin feet or skiers looking for precision at the expense of comfort.<\/li>\n
          • 100 mm<\/strong> : medium width suitable for most skiers.<\/li>\n
          • 102 mm <\/strong>: for wide foot.<\/li>\n
          • 104 mm<\/strong> : for very wide foot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Choosing a shoe the same width as your foot allows you to combine comfort and ski control<\/strong>. If you want to focus on precision<\/strong>, choose a narrow shoe<\/strong>. In a shoe that is too wide, your foot will not be supported which will make the control of your skis uncertain.<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Ski poles<\/strong><\/span> :\n
              \n

              Pour le choix de la taille, en tenant le b\u00e2ton \u00e0 l\u2019envers, la main sous la rondelle, on doit avoir le coude \u00e0 90\u00b0. En ski hors-piste et en freeride, on peut prendre une taille de b\u00e2tons un peu plus longue car ils s’enfoncent plus dans la neige profonde. Il en existe pour tous les budgets, du plus basique ou plus technique.
              The right size and adapted to your practice, they are a great help for move and balance<\/strong> whether on slopes or in powder snow. There are also height adjustable poles, they will be more versatile but heavier.
              <\/span><\/p>\n

              In addition to size and color, there are several things to consider when choosing your pair of ski poles:<\/strong><\/p>\n

                \n
              • The size of the washers<\/strong> : un petit diam\u00e8tre est suffisant en piste et de grosses rondelles permettent de moins s’enfoncer dans la neige en hors-piste. Des rondelles interm\u00e9diaires sont passe-partout.<\/li>\n
              • The handles<\/strong> : Des designs de poign\u00e9e plus ergonomiques permettent une meilleure prise en main sur les mod\u00e8les hauts de gamme. \u00c0 noter que les poign\u00e9es sont g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement de plus petit diam\u00e8tre sur les mod\u00e8les de b\u00e2tons femme et enfant.<\/li>\n
              • The straps<\/strong> : essentielles pour une bonne prise en main, les dragonnes sont plus ou moins ergonomique et parfois accompagn\u00e9es d’un syst\u00e8me d\u00e9tachable pour faciliter leur utilisation. Sur certains mod\u00e8les de b\u00e2tons, les dragonnes se d\u00e9tachent automatiquement en cas de chute pour plus de s\u00e9curit\u00e9. En hors-piste, il est cependant conseill\u00e9 d’enlever vos dragonnes pour pouvoir vous d\u00e9barrasser des b\u00e2tons en cas d\u2019accident.<\/li>\n
              • The tube<\/strong> : souvent en aluminium et parfois en fibre composite ou en carbone sur les b\u00e2tons hauts de gamme, il est de plus gros diam\u00e8tre lorsqu’on cherche plus de solidit\u00e9 comme en freeride. Les b\u00e2tons courb\u00e9s sont r\u00e9serv\u00e9s aux comp\u00e9titeurs des disciplines de vitesse.<\/li>\n
              • Protections<\/strong> aussi appel\u00e9es \u00ab\u00a0pole guards\u00a0\u00bb prot\u00e8gent les mains des slalomeurs contre les impacts avec les piquets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                 <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

              • Snowbord bindings
                <\/strong><\/span>Les skis peuvent \u00eatre vendus nus, sans fixation, ou avec une plaque d\u00e9j\u00e0 fix\u00e9e au ski et dans laquelle il suffit de faire glisser la fixation propos\u00e9e par le fabricant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                \n

                Les skis de piste et all-mountain  sont g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement \u00e9quip\u00e9s d’une plaque et vendus en pack avec une fixation.
                You have a leisure practice on slopes <\/strong>You need tolerance<\/strong> and comfort,<\/strong> with soft bindings and <\/strong>and easy to put on,<\/strong>made of plastic
                You ski<\/strong> on a slope in a committed way<\/strong> with sharp curves at high speed, you will need a precise binding<\/strong> and powerful<\/strong>, which procures a good grip under your feet<\/strong>. For this, it will integrate metal parts in steel or aluminum. These bindings will be solid<\/strong> and will withstand the constant forces you will exert on it. Your ski boot will be tilted slightly forward and high on the snow to facilitate edging.<\/p>\n

                The essential safety element on a ski binding is the release or more precisely the release threshold of the latter.<\/strong> It is this trigger in the event of a fall that prevents a large number of injuries, especially to the knees.<\/p>\n

                The key is to choose a binding that is suitable for your level and your weight. In order to adapt this triggering threshold to each skier, there is a standard setting<\/strong> to be performed on the heel piece and on the toe piece. This is called the DIN setting<\/strong> generally between 1 and 13. To find out your DIN, there are tables or smartphone applications. These tools allow d\u00e9finir le r\u00e9glage de vos fixations selon 5 crit\u00e8res<\/strong> your weight, your age, your size, your level and the lenght of the sole of your ski boots.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                This type of board is suitable for novice or occasional riders. They are generally more flexible and more forgiving than more high-end models. They are suitable for you if you are not yet completely comfortable on a snowboard. If you have edged errors, if you mostly ride on piste but still hesitate when you are on top of a red, you can consider yourself to be beginner-intermediate.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                You ride regularly, one to two weeks a month. You have the technical bases and you are comfortable both on slopes and off piste. Edges errors are rare and you are able to pick up speed without hesitation. You know you have room for improvement, but you want a board that is a bit forgiving so you don't break your legs. So you are intermediate-confirmed.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                The mountains have no more secrets for you. Edges errors are a distant memory and you go everywhere. Slopes, powder, you don't hesitate on the park modules or the runs in the forest. You need a precise, responsive board that holds up well at high speeds.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Choosing a well suited board will not only make the experience better, but allows you to progress faster. In addition, it is not uncommon to see experienced riders using beginner boards, they are very playful and perfect for fun. However, a confirmed board will be less tolerant and could slow down your progress or even worse, make you disgusted with snowboarding!<\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                Quel sera mon terrain de snowboard privil\u00e9gi\u00e9 ?<\/b><\/p>

                Selon le type de terrain on distinguera quatre grandes familles, cinq avec les splitboards mais c’est une cat\u00e9gorie un peu particuli\u00e8re. Il y a :<\/div>
                \u00a0<\/div>
                – les planches all-mountain ou planches polyvalentes
                – les planches freeride
                – les planches 100% poudreuse
                – les planches freestyle<\/b><\/div>

                A l\u2019int\u00e9rieur de cette derni\u00e8re cat\u00e9gorie, on distingue deux sous-familles, polyvalent freestyle (FS all-mountain) et polyvalent freeride (FR all-mountain). Bien entendu, vous pouvez utiliser n\u2019importe quelle planche sur n\u2019importe quel terrain. Acheter une board freestyle ne veut pas dire que vous \u00eates condamn\u00e9s \u00e0 rester dans le park pour l\u2019\u00e9ternit\u00e9 et une board freeride ne vous bloquera pas l\u2019acc\u00e8s aux pistes.

                Versatile Snowboard or All-mountain<\/b><\/p>

                Freestyle snowboards<\/b> are the most versatile boards, able to move from one terrain to another without any problem. Groomed snow, powder, ice, you can even do sessions in the park with friends. They offer the right balance between grip, maneuverability and flotation for optimal behavior anywhere in the mountains.\u00a0<\/div>
                \u00a0<\/div>
                Freestyle snowboards <\/b>are generally the preferred choice of the majority of snowboarders due to their versatility. If you buy your first snowboard<\/b> and you don't really know what to buy, an all-mountain board is an excellent choice.\u00a0<\/div>
                \u00a0<\/div>

                Freeride Snowboard<\/b><\/p>

                Freeride snowboards are made for the lovers of freeriding.<\/b>They have a stiffer construction and are a bit longer than standard boards. This allows them to be more stable and more powerful when crossing rough terrain.\u00a0<\/div>
                \u00a0<\/div>
                Often equipped with a directional profile and a rocker<\/b>, they allow to better floating in powder with a flexible and intuitive handling while offering optimal grip on hard snow.\u00a0<\/div>
                \u00a0<\/div>
                Indeed, if you associate freeride boards with off-piste, they are also excellent carvers on the piste. The turns<\/b> are precise and cross references powerful. Freeride boards are generally high performance, high end boards. They are well suited to those who ride fast and hard.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

                Snowboard 100% Powder<\/b><\/p>

                This is a relatively recent board category and yet it is also the one that goes back to the origins of the discipline. At first, there were no groomed slopes, no camber, no rockers, we wanted to surf the pow pow like we surf Californian waves.\u00a0<\/div>
                \u00a0<\/div>
                Manufacturers are bringing these boards up to date using more modern technologies. They are easily identifiable by their directional shape<\/b>. Usually shorter and wider than normal, they often have a oversized<\/strong> nose<\/strong> with an huge rocker.<\/b>You can sometimes find a swallow tail <\/b>(in the shape of a magpie tail) which offers more maneuverability. They are agile and very pleasant boards but be careful, they do not like hard snow!\u00a0<\/div>
                \u00a0<\/div>
                If you want to have a board like this we strongly advise you to have a more versatile one. You will take this one out on days of rough conditions but it is a 2nd board, a bonus board, we cannot be satisfied with it for everyday use.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                Freestyle and Park snowboard<\/b><\/p>

                Freestyle boards<\/b> often have a twin-tip<\/strong> profile, meaning symmetrical<\/strong> to ride in both directions (regular or switch). They are also perfectly balanced which is useful in rail, box or ledge, this is called jib<\/b>. Freestyle boards are also shorter, which makes them easier to handle and more playful. Maneuverability is very important since it will allow you to link modules together quickly.\u00a0<\/div>
                \u00a0<\/div>
                Generally speaking, a freestyle board<\/b> is playful and responsive, just like a skateboard. The jib boards will be softer and playful, that's what it takes to do great nose presses. Half-pipe or\u00a0big air <\/b>boards will be much more rigid and therefore more powerful, but less playful. They are designed to hang a lot on the frozen walls of the pipe.\u00a0<\/div>
                \u00a0<\/div>
                Finally, if you are interested in freestyle but want something less exclusive, go for the versatile freestyle variant. These snowboards are a good compromise as they offer the playability of pure freestyle with the versatility of all-mountain.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

                Splitboard<\/b><\/p>

                Finally, the splitboards. This program brings together a very specific type of board that deserves to be studied closely. Relatively new to the world of snowboarding, splitboards<\/b> are designed for lovers of wide open spaces and nature. These are boards equipped with a freeride construction and profile, but with a very special detail, they split to form a pair of skis. There are several systems, splitboard in two or four parts, kit Voil\u00e9<\/b> or Karakoram bindings<\/b>, the world of splitboarding is technical. The important thing to remember is that a splitboard will allow you to climb like cross-country skiing, with a pair of skis and skins<\/b>, then back down on a snowboard as if nothing had happened.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                Quelle taille choisir pour mon snowboard ?<\/b><\/p>

                Choosing the right size for your snowboard is essential. A too long board<\/b> will be more difficult and less intituive to direct. Contrary, a too small board<\/b> will be less stable and much less versatile. It is therefore a question of finding the right balance in relation to your height, but also in relation to your weight, your level and your discipline<\/b>. You've probably heard that the board has to come to your chin to get it the right size. This is not completely true. Snowboarding has evolved a lot, the board profiles too and this information needs to be qualified.<\/div>
                \u00a0<\/div>
                If you go on a jib board and you are rather light, you will have to go on a rather short board. You will be able to launch rotations more easily and you will have less trouble chaining the modules. If on the other hand you want to eat powder in freeride and you are the beefy type, you will need a longer snowboard, it will offer more lift and more support in soft snow. We have developed a calculator that will allow you to find the length that suits you.<\/div>
                \u00a0<\/div>
                Keep in mind that this data is indicative, do not get stuck on it. You also have to take your personal preferences into account, it's a matter of feeling. Some riders prefer boards shorter than the recommended length.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

                Quelle largeur pour ma planche de snow ?<\/b><\/p>

                If you choose the length of your board carefully, you often tend to forget the width and yet this is an important criterion!<\/div>
                On a too narrow board your boots will protrude either at the heels or at the toes. Either way, you're going to be hampered when taking the edges. The boots will scratch the snow and in the best case you will be slowed down and out of balance, in the worst case it is the fall or the injury.<\/div>
                On a board that is too wide, your heels and \/ or your toes will be too far from the edge to exert sufficient pressure. The leverage will be too weak and you will have difficulty initiating and maintaining a turn. It is therefore important to choose a snowboard that has a width adapted to your size.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                Understand the cambers<\/strong><\/p>

                Camber gives the snowboard specific characteristics of handling, grip or pop. In addition to the terrain and the level, it is a very important factor in choosing a snowboard. While each brand is constantly working to establish new profiles, we find recurring problems with all manufacturers:<\/p>

                Cambre Classique :
                <\/strong>Classic camber refers to the arc formed between the nose and tail when the board is on the ground. This is what will define the properties of the board: its nerve, its pop and its grip. Disadvantages of classic camber: its uncompromising side which may quickly discourage novices and less experienced riders but will be perfect for a carving board.<\/p>

                Cambre Invers\u00e9 :
                <\/strong>The nose and tail have no contact with the ground. What you look for with inverted arches is better powder riding and greater tolerance for mistakes and hesitation when learning to snowboard. Boards with inverted arches are more easily oriented towards freestyle because of their playful side. They facilitate jib and flat maneuvers, but remain the partners of choice for having fun in powder. The price to pay for such versatility, a loss of stability and grip, especially at high speed.<\/p>

                Cambre Plat :
                <\/strong>Flat camber forgives mistakes more easily than conventional camber while remaining more stable than reverse camber. It is flat between the legs and inverted in nose and tail to gain forgiveness, but also in lift-off and lift in powder. A good compromise for those who are not 100% sure.<\/p>

                W Rocker :
                <\/strong>The W Rocker, or associated camber, is a mix between several arches, which forms an undulation of the board when viewed from the side, hence its name \"W\". A rocker between the feet, which becomes classic later, and becomes inverted again in nose and tail. The idea is to combine the qualities of classic camber (pop, grip, dynamism) and those of reverse camber (ease of downforce, tolerance and lift in powder). In our opinion, the associated camber corresponds to the camber that can satisfy the greatest number of riders today.<\/p>

                Cambre Rocker :
                <\/strong>Cambre Rocker comes in the form of a classic camber between the feet and a rocker in the nose and tail. This allows for the best possible blend of the grip and pop qualities of classic camber while adding the playfulness and powdery lift of tip rockers.<\/p>

                Freeride :
                <\/strong>A classic camber between the feet and a big rocker in the nose. This configuration gives pride of place to grip on the track and power to maintain control even at high speeds, while the rocker is there to magnify the behavior of the board in powder with easier lift-off and improved handling.<\/p>

                What's a rocker ?
                <\/strong>If the snowboard was strongly inspired by the ski to draw the bases of its construction, it is the reverse that it is about when one speaks about rocker and the snowboard was the first to use it for improve cornering and powder performance. Characterized by a progressive tip rise, the rocker is now omnipresent on boards and especially freeride boards.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                Les boots de snowboard<\/strong><\/p>

                If they are very different from ski boots, snowboard boots share with them two important criteria: The flex and the morphology of your foot, which will determine, for many, the choice of your model.<\/p>

                Find your ideal flex : <\/strong><\/p>

                – En fonction de votre niveau :<\/p>

                Expert : Technique parfaite et aisance en toutes conditions : le snowboard n\u2019a plus de secret pour vous !<\/p>

                D\u00e9butant ou d\u00e9brouill\u00e9, vous avez besoin de confort et d\u2019un mat\u00e9riel de snow tol\u00e9rant.

Confirm\u00e9 ou Expert, vous pr\u00e9f\u00e9rerez des boots that are stiff<\/strong> which bring you stability and optimal transmission of downforce.<\/p>

                – En fonction de votre type de pratique :<\/p>

                Who says jumps, says landings, and as many solicitations of the collar of your boots to absorb shocks, or on the contrary to obtain the necessary impetus before you take off. So in park or freestyle, we prefer soft flex snow boots<\/strong>, notamment sur le haut du collier, pour \u00e9pargner les tibias et bien profiter du pop de la planche. Les riders All Mountain, quand \u00e0 eux, trouveront satisfaction dans des boots de snowboard au flex medium permettant une progression sur piste comme en neige fra\u00eeche.<\/p>

                Although they do not require the same technique, Freeride and Carving will instead use boots with medium or even hard flex, to ensure good support and optimize the transmission of downforce.<\/p>

                Respect the morphology of your feet :<\/strong><\/p>

                Good snow boots are first and foremost boots that you feel good in. There are as many foot shapes as there are riders, so trying on is a must before deciding whether a snow boot is right for you or not. Opt for thermoformable slippers, which will bring you maximum comfort by perfectly matching the morphology of your foot. The size should be chosen slightly above your usual shoe size, especially to accept thick socks, but you should keep a feeling of support. Note that the foam of the liner settles over time: be careful not to take too big or you will end up swimming in your boots!<\/p>

                The 5 lacing systems:<\/strong><\/p>

                – le syst\u00e8me BOA
                Composed of thin steel cables and a small wheel, the BOA system<\/strong> allows a quick tightening of the shoe: put your foot on, turn the knob until you feel the support you need, and you're ready to go. Appeared in 1996, this system was first fitted to snowboarding, then golf and cycling boots ... and is now even found on some running shoes.<\/p>

                – Le syst\u00e8me Focus BOA
                Adapted from the previous version, it is a double BOA device that allows even more precise tightening on the top but also on the bottom of the boots.<\/p>

                – Le la\u00e7age hybride :
                BOA System and traditional lacing<\/strong> to very precisely adjust the tightening.<\/p>

                – Le syst\u00e8me Speed Zone :
                A small handle placed on the outside of the snowboard boots allows quick tightening in one movement: pull the handle to tighten the laces. As with the Focus Boa system, the Speed \u200b\u200bZone tightening can affect two different parts of the shoe.<\/p>

                – Le syst\u00e8me Traditionnel :
                The \"old-fashioned\" lacing, which has its share of drawbacks, in particular the need sometimes to remove the gloves, but which remains a system allowing excellent precision in the tightening of your boots. Traditional lacing, through its manual action, takes into account all the specifics of your foot: you can leave one area looser than another, which further increases your comfort.<\/p>

                More information :
                <\/strong>Contrary to what has long been the black point of ski boots, snowboard boots do not hinder walking, and their basketball look is nothing to lie about: comfort and flexibility are there, to facilitate in particular progress on the flat. Some models offer removable slippers, very practical for drying and maintaining your snow boots.<\/p>

                Advice :
                <\/strong>Try on your boots with special technical ski \/ snowboard socks, you will avoid unpleasant surprises when you get on your board. When trying on, stand in a standing position: your big toe should brush against the front of the shoe. Then, position yourself in forward bending (gliding position), check that your foot moves back slightly at the same time as your shins press on the collar. Always keep a feeling of good support: a heel that seems very mobile to you most likely means that the boots are too big.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                Les fixations de snowboard :<\/strong><\/p>

                On distingue deux grandes familles de fixations de snowboard<\/strong>. Les entr\u00e9es arri\u00e8re, et les classiques. Il n\u2019y a pas de mieux ou de moins bien, c\u2019est en fonction des pr\u00e9f\u00e9rences de chacun. L\u2019entr\u00e9e arri\u00e8re est tr\u00e8s pratique et vous permet de chausser aussi vite que les skieurs. La marque Flow f\u00fbt pionni\u00e8re en la mati\u00e8re. La classique permettra un ajustement un peu plus personnalis\u00e9.
                We often tend to downplay the importance of a snowboard binding<\/strong>. Yet she is the only link between the board and the rider. It's kind of the steering wheel of the car, it's the car that lets you steer the snowboard and stop if needed. So don't neglect it! If they are very similar to each other, they all have marked differences. A good binding<\/strong> should bring you three essential things : comfort,<\/strong>some precision<\/strong>and must be functional<\/strong>. The more you go upmarket, the more the binding will use high-performance, comfortable, strong and light materials. From the thickness of the strap to the responsive carbon frame, set your priorities. Your style will influence your choice of course. Freestylers will look for a flexible and comfortable fix when freeriders orient themselves on stiff and responsive material. While comfort and performance generally go hand in hand with a budget, functionality does not. By functionality we mean the ease of use, the straps, and especially the fitting system, classic or rear. Once your selection is made, all you have to do is adjust them to your snowboard<\/strong>.<\/p>

                I) Comment r\u00e9gler ses fixations de snowboard ?
                <\/strong>A la diff\u00e9rence du ski, les fixations de snow sont sans d\u00e9clenchement : vos pieds ne d\u00e9chausseront pas en cas de probl\u00e8me. Pour \u00e9viter des blessures importantes notamment aux genoux, il faut les r\u00e9gler minutieusement et ce r\u00e9glage se fait en plusieurs \u00e9tapes :<\/p>

                1) Conna\u00eetre son pied d\u2019appel : Goofy ou Regular ?
                If you have never snowboarded, a very simple little test can help you determine which foot should be in the front to evolve as naturally as possible: ask someone to push you (slightly!) In the back: the foot that you will step forward first to keep your balance is your takeoff foot. You will be \u201cGoofy\u201d if your right foot is forward, and \u201cRegular\u201d if your left foot is forward.<\/p>

                2) Choisir sa position en fonction de sa pratique :
                There are 3 positions :<\/p>

                a) The position \u00ab \/ \/ \u00bb
                The two feet are parallel, but oriented towards the slope. A position adopted by those who favor pure speed and alpine practice.<\/p>

                b) The position \u00ab | \/ \u00bb
                The front foot is oriented 15 \u00b0 forward while the rear foot remains at 0 \u00b0. A position recommended for beginner riders or anyone who does not have a committed ride and predefined terrain.<\/p>

                c) The position \u00ab \\ \/ \u00bb
                Duckstance or \u201ccanard\u201d position in French. Recommended for novices to promote learning and appreciated by freestylers, it offers a better position for rotations, jumps and fakie.<\/p>

                3) Les r\u00e9glages :
                a) The stance (distance between bindings)
                This is an essential parameter to improve the control of the board. To calculate the stance, you need to:<\/p>

                    • your height (cm) x 0.32 = X for a man (+\/- 2 cm)<\/li>
                    • your height (cm) x 0.3 = X for a woman (+\/- 2 cm)<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>

                      If the board is your size, more often than not the ideal stance will simply be the central position of the inserts. But this setting is of course at your convenience.<\/p>

                      b) The angle of the bindings
                      The angle of the rear foot is always smaller than that of the front foot (about half). The stronger the angle, the sharper and more precise the passages from edge to edge will be. However, it remains difficult to give an ideal standard position. Each rider refines their settings over time. If you are new to snowboarding, 15 \u00b0 -21 \u00b0 at the front foot and 0 \u00b0 at the rear foot seem to be the best settings. Then come settings depending on the chosen terrain:<\/p>

                          • Freestyle \/ park: front 15 \u00b0 to 18 \u00b0 \/ rear -9 \u00b0 to 15 \u00b0 \/ bindings centered on the board<\/li>
                          • Freeride \/ powder: front 18 \u00b0 to 30 \u00b0 \/ rear 5 \u00b0 to 15 \u00b0 \/ bindings shifted back<\/li>
                          • Versatility: front 15 \u00b0 to 21 \u00b0 \/ rear -5 \u00b0 to 5 \u00b0 \/ fixings centered on the inserts.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>

                            c) Position on the board
                            The bindings are not necessarily symmetrical in relation to the center of the board. A further rearward shift will optimize its behavior in powder with easier lift-off, while more centered bindings will favor freestyle maneuvers. To choose the fix retraction:<\/p>

                              • 0 to 1 cm behind in freestyle<\/li>
                              • 1 to 4 cm behind in freeride<\/li>
                              • 0 to 2 cm behind for alpine<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>

                                \u00a0<\/p>

                                II) Quelques conseils :<\/strong><\/p>

                                • All these adjustments which are there to improve your performances, depend on your feelings and will evolve according to your level and your program.<\/li>
                                • Beware of extreme positions, often uncomfortable and sometimes even dangerous for your joints.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
