Whats a good price to spend on a snowboard and bindings for an intermediate? Also where should i buy from?

Question

Iv gone snowboarding 3 times at mountain high. im pretty good now i guess. i can go on all the runs. but im tired off borrowing my friends board. so i want to get my own. What is a good price to spend on a snowboard and bindings? Also what is a good brand to buy for both items? Finally where is a good place to buy it from? Big 5? Sport Chalet? Internet?

Answer 1

If you have to ask, then you probably still are not expert enough at it, and ought to continue to rent , and then while on the slopes perhaps ask people this question, and then you can finally buy what you really know is good...

Answer 2

to all these guys above, you can be intermediate if the 3 times is 3 weeks, ive only been like 5 whole weeks and i class myself as high intermadiate/advanced. You really ought to go to a shop for your first set up, to get properly sorted. theyll give advice there. Big stores often have cheaper prices, because of high turnover. Burton is a safe bet brand wise, ofering good models catering for your standard. im from uk but assuming around $400-500. Price is really about what you can afford to pay.

Answer 3

not to be a jerk but you arent intermediate if you have only been three times. You're still a beginner. You'll need boots, bindings and a bord. You are'nt really gunna get anything descent until you spend about $400 on all of it.
