I need some help...I want to buy my husband a snowboard for his birthday but I don't know what size to buy and obviously I don't want to ask him and ruin the surprise...He is about 5'7 or 5'8 and weighs about 220lbs. Which size should I buy? I've heard I should probably get him a 158cm. Is that correct?

Booked for Pamprovo in Bulgaria end of Jan for a week. I have done a little skiing. My fella hasn't. He has torn cartlidge and waiting for op so sledging will be the most he'll be trying. Have you been and any ideas for non skiers please?

I am so afraid of falling-my husband laughs because I´m only 5´2" and probably wouldn´t break anything, but I´m still scared!

Obviously everyone has a different opinion, but could you say what you think is the hardest, or name some of the hardest?
I just want to know because I want to know what slopes to eventually aim for, and if I've done any that would be considered in this category!!!
Thanks!

back flip or front flip. backflips take longer to certify for competitions because you have to learn a back lay first but people say that back flips are easier on snow. i want to be original and do front flips, over rotation doing a front would be pretty bad, but under rotation on a back wouldnt end well either. im not sure which one i should certify, i only have next summer to learn it on trampoline and do water ramps so front flip might be my only option. is it really more dangerous?

I'm going to Reno with a group of two or three thirty-something couples in March 08. Our goal is extreme convenience for skiiing (ski-in/out) with nice gambling options for nightlife. (onsite or close via cab).

I know nothing about Reno, so please advise as to hotel/condo options that may suit our needs. (We'd opt for a 2 or 3 bedroom condo if it fits the above requirements.)

Thanks so much!

I am considering trying to snowboard this winter up here in Minnesota if a friend will take me. Where can I get some equipment without paying the full price in the store considering I may not even like it or want to persue it more than a couple months??

I need to know what size I would be. I'm 5'3 and 120 lbs. Is a 58 too long? I've been up several times and am pretty comfortable on a board, but am tired of renting. Also, what's a good board for me in either Burton or K2? Or are there others? PLEASE help. Thanks!

I'm somewhat of a beginner on a snowboard, I can heel brake and heel turn fine but I cannot toe brake or toe turn. How do you do it?

I have big feet (12) so I am looking at something wide (is that reasonable? should i be worried about toe and heel drag?) and I'm about 5' 11" but i wasn't sure what length would be 'best'. 160-166? (which is easist for learners/beginers, i lost rode 2 years ago then i grew out of my board, so i need to relearn...)

These are some of the brands i was looking at:
DUB
Lamar
M3
Flow
Silence
Avalanche
Head
LTD
Marrow
Stroke
Which is the best quality? or the best deal? (favorites?)

This is my first board that i am buying so i need to get an idea of what is good and what is 'OK'.

I would appreciate any input that would help give me any idea of what i should be looking for. Is there anything that i should watch out for?

What controles the camber of the board? is it a trivial feature or does it matter if a board had more or less?
