Abstract: A resilient biasing element for a snowboard binding is disclosed. The biasing element provides a means of biasing an ankle or toe strap for a conventional snowboard binding towards an open position when the strap is unsecured, easing the insertion and removal of a boot from the binding. The binding may be used in combination with a conventional snowboard, or a snowboard incorporating impact plates to distribute loads and increase the structural integrity and life of the snowboard.
