re: snowboard leash?
I think everybody would advise their use not just so you dont lose the board but for the safety of others. Many accidents are caused by stray boards :-)re: snowboard leash?
Your board only goes astray when you remove it from your feet and don't turn it over.....So when you take it off turn it over so the bindings hold it in the snow.
Never had to use a leash with this policy and my kids are trained in the art too.
Relax have fun and do what you feel comfortable and confident with
re: snowboard leash?
they are also handy for carrying your board...binding to binding and youve got a shoulder strap.re: snowboard leash?
I'd say definitely for all the above reasons and especially for carrying the board, much easier.re: snowboard leash?
Get one as some resorts insist you have one. Nicky has experienced a lost board due to this

Leashes should be banned, no use to man not beast, except maybe small children who don't really care where the board goes when they step out. In the olden days and I remember them well, the idea was to stop a board falling off your feet from a chair lift, bindings used to be very flimsy and it could happen, nowdays bindings are excellent so what use a poxy bit of webbing, except you forget to unclip it and look a right twit when you walk away from your board at the mountain bar only for it ...
