I can not get over how much fun I have on this board. It’s smooth, it’s fast, it turns so easily and it’s epic for any conditions the Northeast can throw at you (yes even icy runs). Now let’s get to the technical aspect, how does it ride? I am not exaggerating when I say this is the BEST snowboard I have ever ridden.
All wood bi-product is reclaimed and upcycled. Their production line is solar powered and they use a closed system that captures, filters and reuses all water. Arbor works with highly renewable wood and bamboo materials obtained from well-managed forests and other sustainable supply. I had heard tons of great things about Arbor snowboards and when I started reading up on the brand I realized they have a variety of sustainable production methods and materials. Honestly I wasn’t actually thinking of sustainability when I started looking for a new snowboard. I also got the Nordic headband to wear under my helmet. I got them as gifts for a bunch of people and they all loved it. They are so perfect for any winter activities and there are tons of cute prints. It’s a woman-owned Vermont based company and the Alpine neckwarmers are also made in Vermont. The fleece lining is really soft and warm. You probably recognize Skida by now because I have been living in these since I discovered the brand a few months ago. I went with a size 7 which gives me a little extra room above my fingertips. Hestra owns their factories and are one of the few environmentally certified manufacturing companies in the ski and outdoor world. Hestra’s approach to sustainability is making a high quality long life product that reduces consumption of raw materials. I really like the Gauntlet mittens because they have an elastic strap that goes around your wrist so you can easily take your mittens on and off without worrying about dropping them. I am so glad I did they are crazy warm and amazing quality. I’ve been eyeing Hestra mittens for YEARS and I finally decided to give them a try. Craig got these pants and he said they’re great for skiing and snowboarding. I probably could have done a small but I like my snowboarding stuff a little baggie so it works for me. Most reviews said to size up so I went with a medium in the jacket and bibs. I got the Seattle Insulated Bib Pant (warm, waterproof, breathable) and the Kate Jacket. Currently they used organic cotton, recycled polyester and reused materials for their technical fabrics. They are dedicated to sustainability in their materials and manufacturing and have future plans to close the loop in production by using bio-recycling processes to make new products from used ones. My bibs and jacket are from a brand called Picture Organic. Sustainable Snowboard and Winter Gear picure organic Snowboard Bibs & Jacket You can see how they look on in this post and this post. I have them in the Jadeite Heather in size small. I am not exaggerating when I say I LIVE in these leggings they are SO comfortable.

Read on for all the details on my sustainable snowboard and winter gear. Getting out on the mountain and spending time outdoors makes me so happy. My goal for 2021 is to do more things that bring me joy. I did a ton of research (Craig helped me with the snowboard stuff) and after using my gear on the mountain a few times I am SO happy with it.
They have a great selection of gear and apparel for winter activities like skiing, snowboarding, cross country skiing and more. I knew I wanted to find brands with a focus on sustainability and I have discovered some amazing companies on Backcountry. Before buying the house in Vermont we just never got up to the mountains enough for me to justify it and Rhode Island winters are not that snowy. It has been YEARS since I got any new snowboarding gear.
Thank you for supporting my brand partnerships. This post is sponsored by Backcountry and Shopstyle.
