www.tactics.comdon't spend all your money in one place now! i love my lib, ive heard really good things about romes as well. i rode my friends custom x burton and it felt incredibly stiff, personal pref. i guess, but regardless i like some flex, especially for the park.

Love it. Used to be a lot more into it, but as I get older getting out to the mountains carries a much higher opportunity cost. Not to mention lift ticket prices go up like 10% every year.
As for the board, do us all a favor and don't get a Lamar from the sporting good clearance rack. You really do get what you pay for. Burton makes great stuff but it's way expensive. I've been having good luck with my Rossignol for the past couple of seasons.
But sadly this is the first year I'm not going at all since I started when I was 13. I blew my wad on a trip to Europe instead which was totally worth it.

I'm still learning, only been a few times and fucked myself up royally. Love it though, no board just rental. Also just been told that gf is better than me. Crossed arms, looking at me intently, I'm not going to disagree...

There is nothing wrong with loving Burton. I totally love Burton and I don't care what anyone says. I even look forward to their beautiful catalog every year.
As for tips, get lots of good snowboarding socks and bring some kind of healthy snack. Food at every lodge I have ever been to sucks.

yeah I customized my board at Kicking Horse on a big heap of jagged rocks.
