Wrist guards for sure. Having the board slide out from underneath you is one thing... and you land on your butt + wrists too.
When you catch the front edge of the board on some snow (front meaning where you are facing, not front of the board) you will be very quickly launched onto your face... which means you will have many hard landings on your wrists.
I used to skateboard and thought I'd be the "hot ****" on a snowboard, but it wasn't that way. I mainly remember my wrists taking most of the beating. One other major difference from a skateboard... when you're about to crash you could bail out and jump off the board. W/ the snowboard, you and the board share the same fate.
