Where can I go to find snowboarding rentals and lessons in california?

Question

My friends and I are planning to go in feb. No one has done it before

Answer 1

Big Bear is the first place I went.  Where in CA?

Answer 2

Where ever you go there is always a ski shop at the resort or near by. You can always rent your equipment there.  Far as lessons go, you can usually book a group or private or even semi-private lessons at the ski resorts. But they start at certain times so check online or call the resort for 411.

Oh by the way if you want to rent better equipment they have a thing called "DEMO's" a bit more expensive but usually a newer model. But the most important thing is the boot fit.

Have fun be safe.
