What are ski blades and are they worth trying out or are skis better?

So I just started snowboarding a year ago, and am really happy with my board set up for going down the mnt. but my buddy wants to go find some rails and benches and stuff to session on, and I don't want to destroy my good board, so I'm looking for something fairly inexpensive but lightweight and built for rails and such... if anyone has any ideas let me know!

My dream is to build a Ski Dome to bring the winter sport to my country. Inspired by Skidubai.com, i believe everyone should have the opportunity to learn and appreciate this winter sport ! But where do i start ?

I am looking for a new setup as I now feel that my cheapo board is holding me back from taking me to the next level.

Im an intermediate transitioning to advance freerider.
I am a begineer freestyler.
I plan to do 85% freeriding / 15% learning in terrain park

I want to go faster while staying stable. Moguls are fun too.
I only plan to stay in the beginner level park and do jumps & boxes. Maybe rails but never any big air jumps.

I am 6ft, 185-195lbs (weight fluncuates lol), with size 12 shoes.

Only brand I am familiar with so far is Ride, and it looks like the Ride Decade 162W is the best choice for me, but even that might be too wide for me at 263m?

I am in need of suggestions of other makes/models. Also with bindings but I haven't really looked into that.

I don't have of load of cash, but would be willing to spend a lil decent amount of money. ~$500 for board/bindings/shoes enough?

Im coming from a Lamar Quest board & my bro's Ride Control. (both too slow!!!)

Of the 56.9 million visits to ski resorts each year, how many of those visitors are skiing in a group? Any data (with sources) about group statistics at ski resorts would be great!

A few friends and I are going snowboarding in a couple weeks and we were wondering what are some good places to go snowboarding at? We know of Sugar Mtn. and Ski Beech and are wondering what other places you guys recommend. We want to travel somewhere around Georgia and will travel up to 6 hours away. Also what resorts or hotels do you guys recommend we stay at, thanks in advance.

I am looking for some really good ski gloves. My son has some but his hands still get cold. Where are the best sporting goods store? The ones he has now are Gordini-Dri Max waterproof. These do not keep the hands warm.

I snowboard and I can always do the tricks but landing them kills. Most of the time I get it but when ever I do a few rails I have a little trouble with my landing. it sucks

I've been skating for nine years and I've been able to land my jumps up to my double lutz. In the past year, however, I've been growing increasingly more afraid to jump. I'm afraid of falling and such. Doing off ice jumping helps a little, but once I get on the ice, the fear is back. It is not on all of my jumps, mostly just on the double toe, double flip, and double lutz. My parents say that if I can't do these jumps soon, like VERY soon, I'll have to quit skating. I really, really don't want to have to quit. How can I get over this fear?

I race NASTAR with its short courses and I realize that the start is quite important, as it makes up a huge portion of the time on a 25 second course, and I also realize that my starts aren't that great. Any tips?
