I want to get her a snowboard for christmas because we both just moved up from the desert to high country were it snows lot and we both want to take up snowboarding. She has never done it and she wants to learn. She is a skier so she has some experience in the snow. I am not sure what size board to get her, I saw one for sale used but in good shape that could probably get for around $180 it is 152 size.

She is about 5'8 and like 130lbs and her shoe size is 8.5. So if someone could help me out would appreciate it. Thanks

2008 Blunt Primo + 2007 P1 + 2007 Shawn White Boots
What do you think of this comb??
I was thinking about going all 2008 version, but its little more expansive..
If I go with those comb I could saved 120$
What do you think??
Should I invest 120 more and buy Primo + Hail boots + Cartel Binder
Which one sounds better to you??
I heard 2008 product has many new features that is interesting

The question says it all. I'm looking to buy a freestyle board with a couple cms to work with if I want to freeride. Not a freestyle/freeride board...more freestyle. If that makes sense.

I'm an intermediate rider. You think 155 or so?

Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Which is easier to learn for someone that has never done both before: Skiing or Snowboarding? Please note that I am highly uncoordinated. Thanks!

I am 5'6, 135-140 lbs, novice boarder. It says people my height usually the shortest board they ride are 146cm, so does 3 cm really make a huge impact?

Can you just put your rear foot into the bindings to get off the ski lift, because I have flow bindings so its so much easier to get my foot in and out, so I don't have to buy a stomp pad?

This has probably done before. I don't know. But yeah if you're ever looking for something new to try, and its winter, try iceboarding (as me and my friends call it)

What need is a old skimboard, a bike, a rope, and a stupid friend. Take the rope and tie to the bar underneath the saet of the bike. Hold onto the rope and let him pull you on the icy streets. For more fun try making ramps out of snow and doing tricks.

If your board isn't sliding well try running cold water on the bottom of the board to freeze it.

Warning: This maybe potentially dangerous.

It's almost winter and I want to be prepared for snowboarding, I've never tried it but it looks too fun to pass out, I don't really exercise my leg muscles much, so my question is...

What muscles does snowboarding use and what exercises can I do to build those muscles?

Oh, I'm 15, so I don't want to do anything that will stunt my growth.

I am about to buy a coat for winter but not sure which kind to get. I would like something that is very warm. I currently have one that 100% polyester which gets quite warm but not as warm as I would like. I have seen a few which have mixes such as 70% polyester and 30 acrylic which don't appear warm. Can someone please advise me. Thanks

Before you start calling me a pervert, I heard of people wearing a diaper while skiing. I have a really really small bladder and I have to go to the restroom at least every hour. This is really annoying when I ski. Does anyone else have this problem? Do people really do that?

Has anyone ever been to this? I'm buying my gear and finding that sites like evogear.com and rei.com and steepandcheap.com have great deals...from 30 - 50 % off.
will ski dazzle be offering these deals on the new seasons stuff brand new? Its in 2 weeks and I dont want to miss out on the deals online because I waited for the convention to find there were no deals. for example, a pair of 07 ride bindings are $85 including shipping. orig: $149

It was this cute fleece, Im pretty sure the brand name started with an "Sa" and like the logo was a little mountain symbol. The logo kind of reminded me of budlight?
HELP?
