After you’ve finished ramming all your gear into your board bag you’ll still have to fit a few clothes for the evening in as well. This clever technique above will guarantee you’ll be able to fit in all the apres/chilling outfits you could ever want for a week away!

There’s nothing worse than a smelly boot stinking out your board bag and/or chalet. Bring a couple of tea bags out with you stashed in your boot and they’ll absorb all but the worst of smells (just don’t drink the tea afterwards).

Atiq Massan off of the Facebook reckons that using a cigarette instead a tea bag works “99% better”. We trust his scientific research.

We’ve all been there… No matter how tech your goggles are a good slam will always leave them steamed up and getting all hot and angry just makes the situation worse. Never fear, the solution is easy:

Don’t risk scratching your lenses or rubbing the coating off by rubbing them, simply head to the nearest on-slope bathroom and stick them under the hand dryer for a minute. Then head out to enjoy some crystal clear powder – easy!

Forget duct tape, that’s old news. A snowboarder’s new best friend is the cable tie. A couple of these stuffed in your pocket will do wonders. Use them to:

– Fix broken bindings
– Temporarily hold together boots with snapped laces
– Attach lift tickets/passes to the outside of your jacket for easy reach
– Replace zip pulls that have fallen off on outerwear/backpacks

Forget shelling out for stomp pads – expensive pieces of foam/plastic – all you need to keep your back foot securely in place is a few leftover strips of grip tape from the last time you put a skate deck together. So simple we can’t believe we hadn’t thought of it before!

Did you know you can actually buy mini suspenders to keep your gloves attached to your jacket? A cheap way to prevent them falling off the chairlift.

Even better, sew a loop in a length of elastic then attach one end to your glove’s cuff. Fit this over your wrist and it’ll do the trick for even less!

Trust us, this works!

To save time charging your phone in the morning, making sure you’re contactable on-hill at all times, set your phone to ‘aeroplane mode’ whilst it’s plugged in. It eliminates all the power hungry applications and gives it a full battery faster!

Got your rental car stuck where you parked it? Pull out the floor mats, lay them under your tyres and use them to drive out on.
