What equipment do I need for snowboarding( gear and clothes) and what the the prices?
First, the stuff you can’t rent… 1.) Pants – make sure they are WATERPROOF…if you’ve never been, you will be on your knees & butt A LOT!! For a beginner, look for a pair around $40 – $80. 2.) Goggles – look for a pair with good venting and an anti-fog treatment. Foggy goggles suck. I wouldn’t pay less that about $50 – $60. Oakleys (I like the Oakley Crowbars) are more expensive, but are worth it in my opinion. 3.) Jacket – again, should be waterproof. The price varies, but a good one should cost about $80 – $120. 4.) Gloves – should be waterproof. A decent pair will run you about $30 – $50. You will also need a board, bindings, boots and helmet (recommended), but you can rent all of those things at the hill. If you prefer to buy though… 1.) Board – a new beginners board will run you $150 – $300 2.) Boots – probably the most important part of your set-up. Uncomfortable boots will ruin your day. Buy them a little tight, they will pack out. A decent pair will run you $90 – $120. 3.)
