allmyarcticcircles asked: Hey, I'm thinking of buying a snowboard and kit. What do you two ride/wear? what would you recommend for intermediate snowboarder?

Hello,  I ride a LTD Betty, i bought it as a begining, if your looking for a new board, i like the Burtons or I have been told to also upgrade to an O-Matic, it really depends on what you are hoping to do on the mountains, are you a pow rider? Park? or just a all around board for everything. I wear a Burton jacket, that I love as well as my Burton Shaun White boots, and my Burton Bindings that are Burton customs, that are a few years old. I suggest you go to a outdoors store, or a few of them. Check out some items, takes notes and look for sales are also a good idea. When i bought my boots, I checked them out in a store, tried them on, walked around in them to make sure they were comfortable, and even stood in my stance for a while to make sure they were comfortable. I would also suggest making sure what you buy clothing wise is not tight, or it will be uncomfortable during snowboarding. If your looking for base layer, I have Kombi gear, which you can check out the reviews for the baselayer pants on our blog from a while back.

If you have any other questions, were happy to answer, sorry it took so long, we have our “off” season when the snow fades and we get busy with other stuff

Thanks,
