My suggestion? Once piece thermals, or bib pants. Tuck a sweater into your pants, or snap the waist gater to your pants to give you that snow barrier.

If your outerware is from the same brand, they might even zip up together.

Have not been able to demo it because it's a Forum board and they are now deceased. R.I.P.
Couple options:

Snowboard binding riser plates.



They were used frequently in the past, and more so used now by boarder cross racers riding narrow binding angles. They lift the bindings up above the deck of the board to provide your toes and heels more clearance for increased edge angles.

Other option is to get more toe ramps to increase the distance from the toe of your boot from the base of the snowboard. There isn't much in the assistance of the heels though.


Those suggestions above will help big footed riders get onto a narrower board with ease, but won't provide the rider with the best feedback from the snow surface.

The last, but not financially suitable option, is to find a pair of boots with the smallest shell measurement in your foot size. You'd be surprised the difference between a few brands.

Hope any of this helps
