Where to get snowboard gear.

This is a answer to Steph's question. And despite her recent eiltest nonsense that has come from her direction. I'm going to go a head and answer the question.

A good to place to look for snowboard gear is in the rental shops and ask if they have any equipment from previous years for sale. They are usually very happy to get rid of it a really good price and you should be able to get some good stuff that slighty used but will be in good shape. Also make friends with people that work on the mountian they might get you discounts on gear.

You need a few things to get started.

Board
Boots
Bindings
goggles/sunglasses
snowpants
coat with perferably a powder skirt
wrist guards(because when you start out you will be falling alot.)
and a face mask,(because you never now what the conditions will be.)


And you thought getting into snowboarding was going to be easy on the wallet.

And I would recommed for the first time you go, to rent the gear. Because there is so much equipment out there I can't even tell you were to start looking. And till you been riding for a while you don't know what you like or don't like. So until you have been down the slopes a few times rent don't buy. And if you get on the mountain several times this season. Buy! You save a lot of money in the long run. Even it's a chunk of change to get all the gear. It will be worth it.
