What kind of Snowboard/Boots/Bindings should I get?

Question

I have been snowboarding for like five years, I'm not that into tricks but i just like going in the woods and finding some fresh powder, I go into the terrian park occasioanally, and i also go in the grooms, so I need an all terrain board. I'm 5ft 3in and like 90 pounds. THANKS!!

Answer 1

For All-Mountain and Backcountry, I would suggest the Ride Control (if your feet are smaller than 10.5) or the Ride Fleetwood (if you need a wide board). The wide board will give you a LOT more float in powder and in the trees and will make backcountry riding much easier.

The Ride EX (or the LX) binding is a great choice for money / performance and for boots - you just have to try them on and see which ones fit you the best as everyone is different.

Now is the time to get them:

Answer 2

Soloman* is a good board for riding in the woods, Burton is nice as always, maybe Neversummer I would at least check them out! I have a pair of DC boots and a pair of Northwave boots. They are both very comfortable, slight advantage to Nothwave. As far as bindings, I would go with Flow bindings. They are far superior to any binding out there. easy to get in and out of, and they are so simple to set up. I've owned step ins and straps, and i will never go back to them ever again.

Answer 3

You would definatly want to go with a Burton custom. they have a really good all terrain board there. Bindings you would want to get either Cartels which are really good since you can adjust them to your liking or Mission which is good for the park but can be used backcountry as well. I would go with Cartels though since the response on them is good. Boots i would probably say Thirty Two's. There really good and there is the ultra light boot which is really a light boot. But otherwise its pretty good
