What’s My Vintage Snowboard Worth?

Salty Peaks has been a Specialty Snowboard Shop ever since its inception. Located in Salt Lake City we have been around for 35 years +. The owner Dennis Nazari has been a leader in the snowboard industry. A former team rider of Nitro snowboards he led the charge in getting snowboarders on the ski resorts through the creation of snowboard “permits”. Thanks to him snowboarding was allowed at resorts like Brighton, Park City and Solitude. Now he continues collecting and cataloging snowboard history including exhibits at Brighton Resort and Utah Olympic Park in Park City.

The history here at Salty Peaks is an important part of who we are as a business and as snowboarders.

Finding out how much your vintage board is worth is as easy as submitting photos and writing up a brief summary. Here is the link! This information will then be processed, certified and inspected by the store owner Dennis Nazari with a true certification given for $70.

Salty Peaks has documented the evolution of snowboarding from the inception, because we were there. We didn’t hear stories from the east coast and the west coast about the battle of boards. We were boots on the ground calling and asking questions to make the final determination on who took the cake for the first complete snowboard! (and if you ever rode a snurfer you know Sherman Poppen paved the way to create modern snowboards) Dennis’s insider knowledge and understanding of snowboard history is through brand relationships that transcend time and snowboard culture.

Snowboard technology has slowly been growing year after year with competing companies trying to find the next greatest innovation to get us down the hill; to be faster, have more fun and ride safer. Each patent has brought us closer and closer to the most efficient and effective snowboard equipment possible.

Each generation of snowboards can be found in the Snowboard History Museum and with that the wild and crazy technology associated with the big booms of snowboarding. Some to curate a style of snowboarding (twin snowboards), others to lighten the moment (AKA- The Danny Kass Olympic Penis Snowboard), and some we just do not know where they were headed, but now we have snowboard products for every style and type of snowboarder on the mountain.

As snowboard history continues to grow we have to take time to archive the changes in technology and the culture to show just how far we have come. Who made the first snowboard, who designed a snowboard with capped edges, when were P-TEX bases used, when did we get real metal edges, should we invent these techniques or steal them from ski manufacturers, who made the first channel system? All of these questions spin through the mind of expert and amateur snowboard historians and if it doesn’t don’t worry….. you just might be normal.

Stop by and learn all this and more with the greatest snowboard shop on earth Salty Peaks!
