What Counts as Accessories?

Accessories cover everything around the core board, bindings and boots: tuning and waxing kit to maintain the base and edges, grip and safety items like stomp pads and leashes, carrying solutions like straps and sleeves, and the small tools and spares that save a day. They are inexpensive upgrades that keep your main gear working at its best.

Tuning and Waxing

Keeping a base waxed and edges tuned transforms how a board or skis ride.

• Wax and irons: keep the base gliding and protected
• Edge tools: keep edges sharp for grip on hard snow
• Repair kit: fix small base nicks before they spread

Even basic home tuning makes a noticeable difference to speed and edge hold through the season.

Stomp Pads and Grip

A stomp pad gives grip for your back foot when skating or stepping off a lift, which is especially useful for snowboarders. Positioned between the bindings, it stops your boot slipping on the board when one foot is out. It is a small, cheap addition that adds real control and confidence around lifts.

Leashes and Safety

Leashes keep your gear from running away if it comes loose, and some resorts require them. For snowboards and skis alike, a leash is a simple safety item that prevents a runaway board or ski on the hill. It is a small bit of kit that avoids a big problem.

Carrying and Storage

Straps, sleeves and carriers make moving gear around far easier.

• Carry straps: sling a board or skis over your shoulder for the walk to the lift
• Sleeves and covers: protect edges and bases in transit
• Organisers: keep tools, wax and spares together

Good carrying kit saves your arms and protects your gear between home, car and slope.

Tools and Spares

A multi-tool for binding screws, spare screws and straps, and small fixings can save a day on the hill. Carrying a few spares means a loose binding or lost screw does not cut your riding short. These are the quiet heroes of a well-prepared setup.

How to Choose Accessories

Think about how hands-on you are and what your days need:

• Maintenance: a tuning and wax kit if you look after your own gear
• Grip and safety: a stomp pad and leash for control and peace of mind
• Convenience: carry straps and organisers for easier travel
• Preparedness: a multi-tool and spares for on-hill fixes

Even a handful of these accessories makes your days smoother and your gear last longer.

Caring for Your Gear with Accessories

Using the right accessories is itself good care. Wax and tune regularly, keep tools clean and dry, and check and replace worn straps and leashes. A little maintenance with the right kit keeps your main gear performing and extends its life.

How Much Do Accessories Cost?

Most accessories are inexpensive, which is what makes them such good value. Stomp pads, leashes and small tools sit at the affordable end, while fuller tuning and wax kits cost a little more. Spending on quality tuning kit usually pays off through better-performing, longer-lasting gear. A few well-chosen accessories go a long way.

Building a Home Tuning Kit

A basic home tuning kit pays for itself quickly and transforms how your gear rides. The essentials are a wax and iron for the base, an edge tool to keep edges sharp, and a small repair kit for base nicks. Waxing a dry base restores glide and protects it, while sharp, burr-free edges grip far better on hard snow. Even occasional home tuning between shop services keeps a board or skis performing all season.

Season-End Storage Prep

How you store gear over summer affects how it starts the next season. Give the base a generous storage wax to protect it, dry everything thoroughly, and store boards, boots and bindings somewhere cool and dry out of direct heat. Loosen boot liners to air, and check straps, screws and leashes so any worn parts can be replaced before your first trip. A little end-of-season care means your kit is ready to ride when the snow returns.

Grip, Safety and Convenience

The small safety and convenience items are easy wins. A stomp pad gives your back foot grip around lifts, a leash stops a board or ski running away if it comes loose, and carry straps make the walk to the lift much easier on your arms. None of these cost much, yet together they make your days smoother, safer and more comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Snow Accessories
