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.

What equipment do I need for snowboarding( gear and clothes) and what the the prices?
Posted by admin on Sep 8, 2009
Im joining snowboarding club in my school where we go to mountain creek and Ive never snowboarded before so I have no idea what to get.
Can you list what I need? And about how much I`ll need to but all of it.
First, the stuff you can’t rent…
1.) Pants – make sure they are WATERPROOF…if you’ve never been, you will be on your knees & butt A LOT!! For a beginner, look for a pair around $40 – $80.
2.) Goggles – look for a pair with good venting and an anti-fog treatment. Foggy goggles suck. I wouldn’t pay less that about $50 – $60. Oakleys (I like the Oakley Crowbars) are more expensive, but are worth it in my opinion.
3.) Jacket – again, should be waterproof. The price varies, but a good one should cost about $80 – $120.
4.) Gloves – should be waterproof. A decent pair will run you about $30 – $50.
You will also need a board, bindings, boots and helmet (recommended), but you can rent all of those things at the hill. If you prefer to buy though…
1.) Board – a new beginners board will run you $150 – $300
2.) Boots – probably the most important part of your set-up. Uncomfortable boots will ruin your day. Buy them a little tight, they will pack out. A decent pair will run you $90 – $120.
3.) Bindings – lots of options…just make sure your boots have a nice fit in them. A decent set will cost $100 – $130.
4.) Helmet – not necessary, but it will give you more confidence as you learn. $30 – $60
Those are the basic items you’ll need. It can get pretty expensive if you buy everything at once. I’d recommend you rent your first season and buy new gear in the off-season (best deals and selection from about April – August) You can save a lot of money if you buy last season’s gear in the off-season, usually about %50 off. Some websites still have some good stuff available from last season: www.sierrasnowboard.com ; and www.porterstahoe.com are good sites to check and both have free shipping.
NOTE: I didn’t mention many brands because that really comes down to personal preference. Burton, K2, Capita, Salomon and Rome are good for your board, boots, bindings and clothing. Oakley, Smith and Anon (Burton) are good for your goggles. R.E.D. (Burton) and Giro make decent helmets.
Where can I find good quality snowboarding gear?
Posted by admin on Sep 1, 2009
I want a good quality INEXPENSIVE snowboard (w/ bindings + boots), clothes, goggles, helmet, etc. etc.
I’m ok with getting a used board that is in good condition, because I can always just buy my own boots.
Anyone know any good stores that have a good selection of nice cheap gear? Hopefully some in N.H-M.A U.S.A, otherwise online is great.
THANK YOU very much for reading this, and even more so for replying.
you might want to go during the summer to a ski shop. they will have boards that they demoed last year in good condition and good quality for cheap prices. also you might want to get last years modle. i got $1100 skis for $400 and they were really nice. you would also want to get last years modle for boots. that doesn’t mean there bad the ski shop just wants to get rid of them. you might want to go to a ski swap because that stuff is usually good. if you need to you might want to use ebay but im not sure the security of that. good luck finding the gear!
