It depends, if you are a beginner it might be helpful. Some boards can become really slippery when they get a little snow on them. If you have experience than you wil probably not need one. Think about it this way would you rather pay the couple of dollars to get one or fall on your face in front of all your friends while getting off of the chairlift?
P.S. If you do get one Burton has one with metal tips to help grip your boot and scrape snow off. They stick real well and you probably couldn't pull it off.

I never used one, but I guess they're nice for scraping the snow off your boot if it gets built up. You can use the edge of your board.
