An abbreviated timeline of snowboard binding evolution. The binding timeline was first published in TransWorld SNOWboarding in February, 2005.
What's new with women's snowboards? This year we're looking at a new round of big-name brands on the Board Test podium, with more of an emphasis on all-around action than strictly freestyle.

The big ol' crew of female pro riders behind the development of this year's boards allows women to be discriminating consumers and ride away with an awesome stick.
We took it upon ourselves to sort through 25 of this year's women's freestyle (park and pipe) boards and narrow the field down to those most worthy of checking out. We got it down to five and here they are.
