An angularly adjustable snowboard binding mount and method of adjusting such which utilizes a position altering plate which is fixedly mounted onto a snowboard. A baseplate is mounted on the position altering plate and is pivotally movable from a locked position to an unlocked position with the unlocked position being substantially ninety degrees from the locked position. The locked position locates the longitudinal axis of the boot binding substantially at ninety degrees relative to the longitudinal center axis of the snowboard. The unlocked position locates the longitudinal axis of the boot binding substantially in alignment with the longitudinal center axis of the snowboard. In the second embodiment of this invention, the boot binding is mounted on an adjustment plate which is mounted in conjunction with the baseplate. The position of the adjustment plate can be adjusted relative to the baseplate so as to accommodate to different initial mounting positions of the boot binding relative to the snowboard according to the desires of different riders.
