Snowboarding Vacation: Not Your Everyday Getaway
Posted by admin on Sep 29, 2009
When it comes to taking a vacation, most people choose to go somewhere tropical, such as Hawaii or the Bahamas. Not many people think of going where it’s cold. In fact, most people who live where it gets cold want anything but cold on their vacation. However, for your upcoming vacation, why not try something new? Why not try a snowboarding vacation. A snowboarding vacation can do wonders for shaking up your life when you need it the most. You can either purchase the equipment or rent it but one thing’s for sure, you’ll have the time of your life.
Check Travel Agencies
Check your local travel agency to see if they have any snowboarding vacation packages. With a snowboarding vacation package, you can get room, board and equipment for a great price. This kind of snowboarding vacation is perfect for taking the family when you just feel like getting away. It’s similar to a ski lodge only you’ll be snowboarding. If you’ve never tried snowboarding before, this is the perfect way to start. After all, there’s no sense in going out to buy all the equipment if you’ve never snowboarded before. Try a snowboarding vacation package and see if you like it first. With the popularity of snowboarding today, chances are, you’re going to love it.
If you’ve snowboarded before and are ready to go on your snowboarding vacation but don’t yet have the equipment, such as a snowboard and the proper clothing, try a ski and outdoor store. Places such as these will have everything you need to prepare you for your snowboarding vacation. You’ll want to wear all the gear as it’s meant to protect you not only from the elements but also from accidents which can occur while snowboarding.
Snowboarding is a lot of fun but it’s also dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. To start off, go easy. Don’t try to become a championship snowboarder your first time out. This means staying on the kiddy jumps in the beginning, even if you’re an adult. Showing off and trying to do too much too soon is only going to land you in the emergency room. I don’t know about you but the last place you want to end up on your snowboarding vacation is the ER, right? So, go easy and have fun, that’s what snowboarding is all about.
When you get better, then you can try the treacherous hills and jumps. So, grab your board, your gear and head out to the snow for your snowboarding vacation. Go by yourself or take the entire family. There’s plenty of fun to be had by all.

where can i buy some cheap snowboarding gear from end of season sales?
Posted by admin on Sep 28, 2009
since the end of season is near, where can i find some cheap gear? i dont care bout the brand and stuff, as long as its affordable. you guys know any websites? im looking to get board, boots, and bindings for under 200 altogether
Man, $200 is a pretty tight budget, I’d say impossible to get the "whole package" if you want good stuff even on major sales. My suggestions:
- Find a good friend that wants to get rid of a good extra/old board/bindings and offer him some money (and some favors);
- Check out these websites:
http://www.boardsforless.com
http://www.proboardshop.com/
http://snowboards-for-sale.com/burton_boots/
http://snowboards-for-sale.com/
http://www.usoutdoorstore.com/d_snowsports/snowboard-shop.htm
http://www.o2gearshop.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=1_24
- e-Bay?? ;
Now, you’re asking for website sugestions but to buy boots I’d tell you to go try them on before you buy.
Good Luck!
Why is it not mandatory to wear a helmet while snowboarding or skiing?

I have seen so many accidents while snowboarding and am surprised that not any people actually wear helmets.

Can one rent a helmet snowboarding in the Alps?
Posted by admin on Sep 26, 2009
I am studying abroad next semester, and I only have limited packing space. So I am wondering if one can rent helmets (along with snowboards,boots,etc.) at a ski resort? If so, that would help me with my packing.
Thanks,
John
Yeah you can rent helmets at ski resorts no problem, they are generally quite basic but do the job. Have a good trip.
