I was wondering what the length and width should be for my first snowboard...I am around 110-113lbs and 5,2 (158-9)

I have read that it should be somwhere around my chin to my nose which is about 142-147 cm

What is a good brand for a beginner to start with?

How do you know if a pair of bindngs that your purchasing will fit your board, or is that not a huge concern?
Also, im looking too purchase a pair of Ride Ex's soon, as by old binding are slowly breaking. Are the ex's a good model to go with? also, what are your experiences with flows/any other step in bindings? Thanks!

my parents are not the most supportive. i want to practice more and dedicate more time to figure skating, but my parents don't want me to.

They don't understand much about figure skating. Its not like they don't let me, but they don't care much for it... and they use guilt and say, "we have done so much for you, brought you to the rink, etc. the least you can do is... " (and then they don't let me practice) Also, they think that school is more important... but they honestly don't need to worry about that because they know that i know that school is important and i do get good grades. They say, "we have to go to work everyday. how can we find time to drive you to the ice rink??..."
But i work hard in school and at home too. Sometimes I stay up later than them working. I wake up early in the morning to study and do more work. But i can and i do find time that i can use to skate, but the problem is, they don't let me use it.

HELPPPPP!!!!!! What do i do???

I was going to buy the Burton Custom 156cm snowboard, but the waist width is only 247mm and I wear size 9-10 shoes. Will I have a problem with toe drag?

or do some of you guys live here? in switzerland?
i mean i was born in DC but i've grown up here. and i seem to notice that you guys, um, have slightly different ideas about snowboarding in general.
like you don't wear helmets
and you're obsessed with board sizes, instead of just getting the people at the rental place or the store to do it for you
and apparently it seems to take you really long to catch on to how to do tricks.

I'm 5'10" around 170 lbs. I was wondering if I could get away with riding a 156cm snowboard? I am an all-mountain rider and I'm not sure if I could ride powder in a short board.

I live on the East coast and I really want to go skiing over the Holidays. I will be driving and I'm willing to go as far as 12 hours. I am going with a friend and we are both intermediate to expert. I was thinking Attitash or Killington. Any other ideas where to go???

I am a very advanced ski-racer, and i like lots of moguls, steep hills, and some powder, but I am going with my dad, who needs a nice lodge and village to relax in, and some not-so-challenging runs to ski on, too

I'm trying to buy a gift certificate for my hubby at a ski resort near us. I don't ski, so I don't know if these conditions are okay or not. Even if they aren't, a lot can change before he'd be able to go skiing in a month or so. Please let me know what this report says so that I can maybe know if it would be a waste of money. Sometimes the snow is good there, sometimes not. Thanks~

Hi, I'm looking to get a jacket before I go off snowboarding. I've been considering the Beryllium by Mountain Hardwear vs the Sedition 2 or Pantheon by North Face.

Any thoughts people?

I wish to know if u reccomend any particular gear. I've been looking at Burton boards and bindings, but I simply cannot determine the differences and what would be best for me, as a rookie. There are Lexa, Citizen.. oh, so Many bindings! Then u have different cores in boards.. and symetrical sides of the board..?? *confused* Please advise on what to buy. Thank you.

My daughter, who is very shy, wants to learn how to snowboard for her Sweet 16. I am wondering where the best place to get lessons is in the greater Northern Ca region, or Nevada. She suggested Diamond Peak. Does anyone know if they are good with beginners? Is there a good place you would recommend?

i prefer either an web address, or an actual store.

A friend offered me her ski boots. She wears a size 8 and I wear a size 7.5 shoe. Should I take them? The price is right - either free or only a few dollars, but I don't want to mess up my feet or form.

If it matters, I'm a brand new skier, having only been twice. If I don't take these boots, I would continue renting equipment and may buy stuff at the end of the season, if it turns out that I like skiing enough.
