    If for snowboarding, I would say don't bother.

    I ruined a good trip by combining a lil takeoff with a bad landing resulting in a broken wrist before flying.

    If you do go - get gloves with built in torsion wrist support.
    Like a strong but slightly flexible bar running through the glove.

    Dunno about before this season, but I've done about 8 lessons in Kilternan before and after christmas, and they provided kneepads/gloves with wrist support.

    Advice would be to get some good solid pants (I totalled two pairs during the lessons), and wrap up, it can get bloody freezing up that hill.

    Oh, and use the asspads they provide. It hurts like bejesus without them.
