WL got our first look at the 2015-2016 snowboard gear at the Avant Premiere board test last week.

The event takes place in the French resort of La Clusaz and sees all the big boys pitch up (literally) with tents full of kit, including Ride, K2, Lib Tech, Gnu, Nitro, Salomon, Jones, Yes, Capita, Union, Lobster, Bataleon, Thirty-Two and many more.

Some of the new snowboards had us seriously drooling, but you’ll need to wait until the summer for our full test write-ups and video reviews to drop. In the meantime, here’s a sneak peak at some of the 2015-16 product highlights as chosen by the brands themselves.

We’ll be bringing you hundreds more gear previews from the huge ISPO trade show in February, so keep an eye out for those too.
