How to wax a snowboard at home — 7 simple steps for a slicker ride

Scenic view of a ski slope with gondolas riding under a blue sky and snow guns blasting powdery goodness.

Learning how to wax a snowboard at home is a great idea. After all, nothing beats cruising a powder day on a freshly-tuned ride. Not only is the process simple, but after a modest initial investment in tools, it's also cost-effective.

You could shell out anywhere from $25 to $50 for a standard snowboard tune-up, which, depending on how often you ride, may be needed seasonally or several times a winter. Or you could pick up a basic waxing kit for as little as $75 and take the DIY approach. Beyond self-satisfaction, the process is nothing short of cathartic. It's also a great upper-arm workout.
