skate surf and skim boarding are nothing like snowboarding. snowboarding is much more fun and difficult.

I have my own pair of skis now. A pair of my dad’s older telemark skis for backcountry skiing, and a pair of newer randonee skis, for very steep terrain and very very deep powder. And I just use a pair of adjustable poles, longer for flat terrain, and shorter for the steep stuff.

Electric. read the post I had up above as long as its wood core then theres not much different. Go with brands like Forum, Burton, K2, Airwalk, and Rossingnol. Don’t buy stuff like Lamar and I heard bad things about Kemper too. 5150 is a very popular brand but its pretty expensive. If you want something nice go with a Burton.

Thats really expensive for a board. I bought an awesome Fourm Board this November for $104 and it came with boots and bindings. I also bought a used Airwalk (one of the first snowboarding brands) for $60 with boots and bindings. Whatever you do just don’t get a foam core board like Lamar. If its too good to be true it probably is. By the way if you live in the East go with step in bindings but always get good name brand ones these will stay in, if you live in the East the snow is wetter and the snow sticking to the bindings (doesn’t happen with wet snow) and boots not staying on the board is usually what keeps people away form step ins. Step in bindings are good if you live in the East.

wal-mart boards are made cheaply

By: man utd

man utd — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 04:11:25 +0000

get up and go, the difference is the quality of the board and the materials used in making the board. If you go out and buy a wal-mart board it will ride wayyy different than a nice board such as a Burton, K-2, Rome, or DC

Well, IDK much about snowboarding, but how deferent can a $400 snowboard be, from a Wall-Mart
snowboard? You don’t need to start out on top; its not like we’r all olympic snowboarders!
Now, if you ARE a olympic snowboarder, then excuse me, your the expert, but I was just making a point.

I got my pair of skis,boots, and bindings for under $300 just try to get skis at the end of the year when they are cheap and get the boots used until your feet are done growing

Hey man getting into snowboarding is expensive. I went to a mountain at the end of the season for the first time and am now hooked. Look for a snow board at the end of the season, I got a $350.00 burton clash for 40% off, same with bindings they were $150.00 for 40% off. All together I spent $312.67!!!
So just look around at the end of the season

By: Electric.

I really wish I could get a snow board but the prices shown here are outragious. Are you sure your not paying for the namebrand rather than the board it’s self? Or is the pricing subject to geographical economics?

By: GEAR MAN

GEAR MAN — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 04:29:15 +0000

I am not a serious skier, so I rent my gear from local winter sports shops. But if are buying skis, get Marker bindings, they are great. And Solomon makes great skis.

By: bubba

bubba — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 20:16:15 +0000

Depends on the type, Custom or factory, freestyle,or all mountain.
But usually from $400-1,000

How much does the snow must accumulate for a snow board to work? Does the snow need to be a wet, compactible snow that is at least four inches in depth to work?

Are there any snow skis or snow boards that do not require the use of candle wax for proper care and adequate slickness to use while snow skiing and snow boarding.

Buying used skis can give you almost the same quality as new, at a decimal of the price. Plus, they usually come with bindings

you should buy ur gear it the costs add up if you keep renting

Buying your own gear isn’t worth it if you go three times a year. i’m an avid snowboarder and i spend 2 to 4 weeks on the mountain. i buy a new board every year with the money i get off being a camp counselor. right now im rocking a Rome MOD if your a big freestyle rider i suggest this board if you have 5 grand. Its sooo light

Monique, a Leaf fan, set up this absolutely persistent to believe. Now, let me goal out that this was in no way an undertake to articulate one pair is raise than the other. It was objective a core to articulate two things.

The guide seems to have the pricing on the expensive side, at least for skiis. I spent $200 for my skiis, and my boots were about $150.

dude, im 6’2 and ride 160 and i have a pair of 99cm. they do not need to be that long. no way. no skis anymore should be that long unless you doing powder and hucks, or racing. so if your really going to drop 600-800 for ski and binding, buy the right ones!
