I’m going Snowboarding for the first time and would like to buy some decent but reletively cheap gear (Board Boots and Binders) any suggestions.

Do you have a Sports Authority store near you? They have really good pre-season deals – but you are quickly getting to the end of the pre-season – hurry!

You could also do a season rental for this season and figure out what you like and what you don’t – then buy what you really want next Aug / Sept when the prices are really sweet.

Good Luck
