Snow SUP? What's that? Stand up paddle boarding on snow is guaranteed to be just about the most fun you’ll have all winter!Ski Board
Playing around with paddleboard on the snow. Do you have any of the same questions?
1. Do you have a fin on or no fin?
2. My inflatables all have the 2 side fins or 3 fins, do those matter?
3. Do you inflate to max PSI? Or go lower?
4. Do you use your leash? I don’t really want to chase my board down the mountain after I inevitably fall off?
5. Helmets? Seems like a good idea...haha!
6. When do you bail? Is it a duck and roll kinda thing or snow angel yourself?
7. Any other tips??

The next most important aspect is where to snow SUP:
What is the perfect slope? This was probably the hardest thing to find. Keep in mind, we’ve only tried snow SUPing on powder and haven’t attempted it on hard packed snow. Also, we’ve only ever ridden inflatable SUP boards and have not yet tried snow supping on hard boards.
What we discovered was that if a slope was too steep, it was hard to get up and stay on the board. Paddle boards get going pretty fast on snow, and speed combined with the slippery aspect made it difficult to stay on. In regards to slope angle, safety is #1! It’s important to remember, if you’re in the back country, stay away from avalanche prone terrain and slopes that are 25 degrees or more.
Visa versa, slopes that weren’t steep enough made it impossible to get moving. Though it is possible to push along with your paddle, it’s not that much fun.
Also, for the sake of not damaging you or your board, try to stick to hills that you know are covered in grass.
Our conclusion was to find a slope that is similar in angle to our favorite childhood sledding hills! Or, if you’re relating it to ski slopes, this would be your steeper green run… A 15 to 20-ish degree slope is perfect, depending on how fast you want to go.
