Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Best? it's a bit subjective, perhaps going for the better known makes will make sense ie; Burton, Rome, Forum, K2, Ride, Salomon, Bataleon, Stepchild... the list goes on. Personally I ride Rome and Stepchild but found no bother in selling on Burton gear on ebay, they are all good quality well made boards, prices start a little over £200 and go up depending on the use, bindings also start at about £100. I found the prices to be better in UK than Bansko last year, plenty of deals around, Better talk to people who know, like the big shops, find out what level she wants to ride at and make sure she gets the right size in relation to weight rather than height. snowboard asylum are very helpful. Cheers.

Hi guys, shows you how ingorant I am about these things so just skyped my daughter. She lives in Calif and wants to get an all mountain snowboard (has heard the name Burton) and the person she is buying for as a lad of approx 6ft tall as skinny as a rake. Thinks he is about 150lbs and he will be snowboarding in Wyoming - just a bit further than BG I think

So, back to the original question - is it better to buy here in BG or back in the UK or possible the USA?

Thanks Arron, Helen and Joe for your comments

Hi Andie

Take all of the comments above!!! But go for the buying a board in the USA!! I have a Burton T6 i bought in the US two years ago - with bindings and boots. Full kit here would have been just about £1000.00 but the full set in Stowe cost me £300.00. and that was before the exchange rate got to the levels we are at now!

They have a bigger range of styles and set ups over there too and you have no problem bringing the kit back either. I got the board bag thrown in for buying the kit all in one go.
