If you've been strapping into a snowboard anytime in the last couple decades, there's a good chance it was on a pair of Union bindings. Union built its name on bindings that just don't break, backed by a lifetime warranty on the baseplate and heelcup, and last season it took the next step with its own line of snowboard boots. The Dark Slide was one of the first shops on board with Union boots, and the new 2026/27 boots and Step On bindings are headed our way now.
