Snowboarding days is a snowboard blog dedicated to everything snowboarding.
I'm a snowboarder based in Cornwall, England and have been lucky enough to snowboarded in some of the best ski resorts in the world.
Unfortunately the downside of living in England is it does lack the mountains and snow for any serious snowboarding to be done even in the winter months. So this website keeps my passion going until I get chance to travel abroad and snowboard again.
I enjoy reviewing snowboarding products, gear, videos and showcasing snowboarding pictures. Please feel free to submit snowboarding stuff such as snowboarding pictures or videos, news, reviews, accommodation and snowboarding gear to showcase on this site.

Snowboarding giants Burton have launched a new line of snowboards called "Love" snowboards. However, this new line of Burton snowboards is causing a little bit of an uproar.
As you can see from the pictures, the snowboards feature blowup vintage Playboy photos. Except for a few bare behinds, the images are actually pretty innocent. Still, some consumers aren't happy.
Despite this, Burton will continue to sell the boards. The company says the images are discrete and the line will only be sold in certain stores, where the boards will be wrapped up. Plus, in order to even think about buying the boards you have to be 18-years-old.
Personally, I'm excited for the coming snowboarding season. I can't wait wait to see vintage nudy pics flying down a snowy mountain-side at lightening fast speeds. Awesome.
The Love and Primo snowboard lines are limited edition, with only 1,000 Love boards produced and less than 1,000 Primo boards produced. The boards are expected to be seen very rarely on the slopes and will probably become a collector’s item.
Despite the low number of boards in circulation, six ski resorts have already banned their employees from using the boards. The boards have been banned for employee use at Smugglers Notch in Burlington, VT, under a new policy prohibiting offensive equipment.
Vail Resorts, which owns Colorado ski resorts Vail, Breckenridge, Beaver Creek and Keystone, in addition to Heavenly Mountain in California, has put a ban on Burton’s Love boards for employees while they are working. Vail has always had a policy prohibiting their employees from wearing inappropriate or offensive attire, but they have now updated their policy to specifically include Burton’s Primo and Love snowboards.
Sugarbush, another Vermont resort, is also considering taking action in banning its stores from selling the Love board and employees from riding it.
On October 23rd, local activists protested at Burton’s headquarters in Burlington, Vermont. Approximately 150 people showed up to protest the graphics on the Love and Primo snowboards.
Burton CEO Laurent Potdevin responded with a statement on behalf of the company, saying that Burton stands behind its graphics and the right to freedom of artistic expression, noting that snowboarding has long been a sport that pushes boundaries, and that winter sports have a history of tongue-in-cheek advertising.
Snowboarding Days Verdict
Seriously, if you don’t like the design, don’t buy the board. If you think your son or daughter is going to sustain long term mental injury from the horrendous sighting of such an unacceptable board on the slopes, maybe you should stay home.
People are way too sensitive. There’s something in this country called freedom of speech. You don’t get to ban something because you don’t agree with its content!
