Winter Sports

Going snowboarding soon and I'm having a heck of a time finding a hat to fit my large melon-of-a-head. Today's beanies fit more like skull caps on me (barely cover the ears). I can't realistically run around and try hats all day so was wondering if anyone here had a suggestion. I did find a Coal XL but its a bit pricey. Thanks!

I have never been sking before, we have booked to go to Bulgaria as it was cheap and cheerful. I am really looking forward to it, i have had a few lessons and seem to pick it up quite well. What i want to know is we are having 5 days tution if i pick it up quicker than the rest of the group will i get moved on to a little bit more advanced group. I am worried that for 5 days i will be stuck in a group not doing much as one of the peeps are not picking it up very well. Any advice would be great as i want enjoy my week there and do as much as poss.
thanks

Ok. There is 1 store in the city I live in (oklahoma city) that sells boots (they had 12 different ones to look at).

Should I buy one of those 12 or wait until I go to the resort and buy them there? Will they have a wider variety?

I want to know what time they are open for public, and about how much it is including the lenting of the skating shoes.
It'll be also helpful if anyone knows if they're open on holidays like President Day coming up.

On the burton Vapor (12.5 setback) you can't move the bindings back much so is this a pipe board or what exactly. What can you tell me about the vapor's riding character? Also is this measurement they are showing in millimeters? If you look at burton's website you can see that half the boards have a Stance Location Setback of approx. 25 and the others 12.5. Some are different but most are like this. It looks like the ones that are 25 are better for groomers and the ones that are around 12.5 are for park and pipe. Is that etched in stone??? The ones with the negative core profile seem to be for pipe also is that right???

right now i have a 5150 empress board, but its incredible stiff and i find it hard to get control over it at high speed and with carving (i am going to widen my stance) i might be getting a new board soon since i might be starting freestyle soon.

what are the pros and cons of a flexible board? can anyone give me a bit of help on what kind of board i would have to get.

I got a vapor 163w and the hole patterns are limmited on this board. When set in the reference stance hole patterns (which is to the rear, the bindings are still almost centered it appears. Not much nose and I don't ride switch or aany park trick stuff, just directional and mountain runs only.
Most boards are set back 25 mm back like on the burton custom. I think I made a mistake since centered stances are mostly for park and I only ride directional. What can I do? The hole patterns on this board only have 2 setting locations and it looks like the forward setting would make it less nose and more tail.

I read something here that said aluminum bindings dont flex with the board and so are not as good. Aluminum ones like the Burton c60 and so forth cost alot. Does Burton throw aluminum into the mix just to spark sales? Ex. p1 vrs. c60.
This is what this website http://www.wiredsport.com/02snowbindingfacts.htm had to say:
Aluminum Alloy: Portions of many bindings are made from aluminum, and the notion exists, "aluminum is more substantial than plastic. It will last longer, and weigh less". This can be very misleading. 1.) Aluminum is a horrible base (and disk) material for snowboard bindings. A snowboard must flex evenly to perform well. Any bindings restrict this even flex a bit, as they present two hard, static plates which must be screwed firmly to the board. Aluminum is an extremely rigid material. This leads to the board flexing, and the bindings remaining rigid. At best this leads to a "kinked" flex pattern to the board. At worst it leads to board damage or binding damag
