GOOD WOOD 12/13/2011

Just in time to battle the Winter blues, Joyride has an offering of snowboards from Venture, Arbor, Prior and Jones. The approach we take is to partner with the premium brands for Winter diversion in the backcountry. All of our manufacturers use sustainable manufacturing wherever possible and many are hand made right here in North America. The Jones and Arbor decks positively glow with natural wood topsheets and result in the best-looking boards around. We are stoked to offer Northern Utah the fun of exploration and backcountry access with splitboard products from Venture, Prior, Jones, Voile and Spark R & D. Come check them out!

New Snow Gear! 10/25/2011

We've just received a shipment of Winter gear from Arbor, Flux and Spark R&D. We are expecting more splitboards from Venture, Jones and Prior in the coming month. Come in and check out the best gear to help you enjoy the benefits of fluffy snow we get to play in. We're happy to help with any questions and provide information on backcountry snowboarding and splitboarding. It's what we do the other five months of the year!
