Burton Imperial boots, they've taken all the best bits from all there boots and put the into these, very very comfortable and quick to get on and off med/hard stiffness. Burton Cartel bindings. Lib Tech skate banana with magna traction, great for all one the mountain and catch free, it can also be ridden flat due to the cambered deck with out paying the price.

If you want the best that will last your gonna have to dig deep, but it will all be worth it when it comes together on the mountain. i splashed right out this year and it was the best thing i ever did.

re: snowboard advice

With regards to Boards i would never buy a new board without testing it first, and really think hard and honestly about what type of boarder you are. I wouldn't waste my money on a top of the range board if i was only going away one week in the year there are many mid priced boards that will do the job.If you have a indoor slope near you i would spend sometime there testing boards before you buy,it will save you money in the long run.

re: snowboard advice

Custom x if you looking for fast n hard ride with plenty of power! Custom flying v if you want a little more fun in the powder and park!

Read up on camber or rocker boards and figure out what type of riding you want to be doing before splashing out!

I have just moved from a Burton T6 (no longer made) to a custom v, very different but lots of fun!

Cartel bindings are great!!
