Jo
“As women are seriously underrepresented in our sport I want to make sure that when they do pick up a board, they absolutely fall in love with it, so I think the work we do at Powderstuff is super important.. The hardest lesson I have learned in snowboarding is that there is always someone at the back of the pack, and when it’s you, it can feel demoralising. But don’t quit, keep pushing, its all about the journey.. and the first pint at the apres after a long day is just the best”
Jo’s set up – Bataleon Feelbetter + Union Legacy Bindings
Andrew
“I avoided starting snowboarding at one point as I knew it would take over my life, now along with my wife Jo I run several snowboard related business’ and the work I do riding for Powderstuff is just the cherry on the top”
Andrew’s set up – Capita Mercury + Union Ultra Bindings
Jon
“I’m a self-confessed Adrenalin junkie, so me starting snowboarding (albeit in my 30’s) was probably inevitable. I also love the outdoors, so to experience such an extreme environment whilst doing something genuinely thrilling, is the ultimate for me. I absolutely love the culture and scene in general, having boarded across Europe at various resorts, the one constant is the people. Snowsports brings people together, in an environment that is just made for fun. Do yourself a favour; buy that kit, book that trip – there will never be any regrets”
Jon’s set up – Capita Super DOA + Union Force Bindings
Ben
“Nottingham U.K. born and bred, I swapped my skateboard for a snowboard a long time ago and never looked back. You’ll usually find me overreaching my talent across the Three Valleys – with Méribel holding a special place in my heart (and Lé Rond Point as my go-to for an après pint). I’d say I’m an all-mountain rider as i love to explore but wherever you find me you can be sure i’ll be cocking about trying to pull of something stupid, and failing usually!”
Ben’s set up – Yes. Libre – SP Semi Step in Bindings
Olly
“As a lifelong boarder i’ve been through tonnes of different setups of both equipment and clothing.. this stuff costs a fortune so knowing ahead of time you are definitely making the right decision is vital. Although i think that these days you struggle to find bad products.. a set up that’s perfect for your style can be the difference between someone who sticks with the sport and doesn’t”
Olly’s set up – Bataleon whatever + Union Strata bindings
Flor
“As an Argentine girl who has lived all over the world and a former skier, i fell int snowboarding because of a guy. the guy’s gone but the relaxed and playful vibe of the snowboarding culture is always with me. I do occasionally heel edge it a bit too fast down a slope as looking back up the mountain still seems weird to me but old habits die hard”
Flors set up – Nitro Alternator + Nitro Team pro bindings
Craig
“As a U.K. boarder every moment on a real slope is awesome.. fortunately working with Powderstuff gives me all the opportunities to get out and ride hard. My own personal opinion about board setups… if you only have one, it almost doesn’t matter what it is, sure maybe you’d go faster or ollie higher on something else but who cares.. just get out and have fun”
Craigs set up – Burton Custom + Burton Step-ons
