Snowboards for Women

This is my first board that wasn't a hand-me down or a loaner and it's awesome. I'm a beginner and this was my first serious season and the Ride Solace is an ideal board. It has a nice, forgiving flex, it's easy to learn turns on and it gives you a lot of control on any kind of conditions. It's pretty lightweight too. And the nice thing is that even though it'a a beginner's board, it's durable enough to let you get comfortable with some intermediate skills too. This is probably the best beginner's board for women there is, with it's good control and a durability that allows you to grow into it. Plus the graphics are sweet but not too flashy.

This was a board that was recommended to me as a beginner. It was a great board to learn on, and I quickly progressed. I had only been boarding twice before getting the Solace, and by the end of my 4th day (2nd day total on this board) I was comfortable going down blues and linking turns. While I've definitely taken a few hard spills on this board - a board isn't going to make you a better rider instantly, but it certainly helps with progression - overall I feel like I have a lot of control in turning, stopping and maintaining my speed over flat spots. What's nice about this board is that it's more of an advanced beginner-intermediate board, so while it was easy to learn on, I know I can use it for a few more years. Awesome graphics is a plus! PS - Backcountry.com is great, so glad I bought it from them!!

Great board for a beginner. I was struggling on hire boards, got recommended the solace and love it. I can control the board and starting to link turns. Good flex means it has forgiveness and it is really lightweight. Finding turning much easier now. And of course the board looks great. Unlike some beginner boards I will be able to progress on this. Definately recommend to any beginner.
