As autumn arrives and the days get shorter, most riders start thinking about snow. With the new season coming up, if your gear is looking worn out, it might be time for an upgrade.
Upgrading your gear can seem expensive, but it doesn’t have to use up your lift ticket money.
If you want to get the most for your budget without losing out on performance, picking a pre-bundled snowboard package (board and bindings together) is a smart choice.
Here’s our guide on why snowboard packages are the best way to get ready for winter, plus a look at a new feature coming soon to Blauer Board Shop.
Why Buy a Pre-Bundled Snowboard Package?
1. You Keep More Money in Your Wallet
The main reason to buy a snowboard and bindings together is the bundle discount. Shops and brands can offer a lower price when you buy both at once, compared to buying them separately. The money you save could pay for gas to the mountain, a tuning kit, or some après-ski drinks.
2. Guaranteed Compatibility
Snowboard mounting systems have changed over time. With options like 4x4, 2x4, Burton’s Channel system, and 3D patterns, it can be confusing for new riders to match bindings and boards. When you buy a pre-bundled package, the compatibility is already sorted out. You can set up your gear knowing everything will fit together.
3. Matched Performance and Flex
Your board and bindings should work well together. For example, stiff freeride bindings on a soft park board won’t feel right. Pre-bundled packages are chosen by experts to make sure the flex and riding style match. If you get a beginner all-mountain package, it will include a forgiving, medium-flex binding to help you improve.
Who Are Snowboard Packages For?
Packages aren’t only for beginners. They are the best way for new riders to stop renting and get their own gear, but they also work well for:
- The Upgrader: If you’ve used the same setup for years, a package lets you update everything at once.
- The Budget-Conscious Shredder: For riders who want new, quality gear but need to stick to a budget.
- The Family Buyer: Parents who need a solid setup for growing teens without spending too much.
Coming Soon: The Blauer Board Shop Custom Package Builder!
Pre-selected packages are great, but sometimes you want full control over your setup. Maybe you want to match an aggressive directional board with a specific set of bindings not found in the usual bundles.
That’s why we’re excited to announce the upcoming launch of the Blauer Board Shop Custom Package Builder.
This new tool is coming soon to our website and will let you mix and match any snowboard with any bindings in our inventory to create your own custom package. The best part is that when you use the Package Builder, you’ll automatically get a bundle discount. You get the gear you want, tailored to your style, and still save money.
