I’ve snowboarded four times in my lifetime and i want to buy my own board now because i think in the long run it’ll save me money instead of just renting one all the time.
I’m a girl, 16, 5’2 ft tall, 130 lbs, and my shoe size is 6 1/2.
I’m looking into buying a burton snowboard but they run pretty high and i saw wondering if there are snowboard packages out there that come with the board, bindings && boots? And also, where i can find the packages? Thanks so much!

ok here is the deal. Im looking to buy my first snowboard because im tired of renting them!! i have it narrowed it down to the rossignol split twin package off of ebay for $279, or the LTD transition package for $249. yes, i know these are cheap packages and the board are not top quality but i am new to the sport and money is tight. my question is which package out of the two has the better board (i have read that LTDs are sucky, an and my close friend approves rossignol), and also, what are so other good quality boot+board+binding packages out there? thanks for the help!

If you’re thinking of taking your next ski vacation to Sun Peaks, congratulations! Skiing is possible the best way to spend your hard-earned vacation time. Whether you in it to enjoy time with a special someone, a corporate trip, or some college friends your bound to have the time of your life.

Putting together a ski package can be a daunting task and the aim of this article is to give you some advice to help make things easier and cheaper and give you some basic information on the mountain resort itself.

We’ll start with some basic about the ski resort. It has a base elevation of 4,117 feet and atop elevation of 7,060 feet. Which is a pretty respectable vertical change of 2,891 feet for all you skier looking for some extreme downhill adventure? The resort has a total of 3,678 acres of skiable terrain with the longest run being 5 miles in length! There are a total of 121 ski trails, which break down as follows: 10% for beginners. 58% for intermediate, and 32% for experts. That way you can expect they’re to be something for all level of skiers and snowboarders in your party to enjoy themselves! The lift system is state of the art and contains a total of 12 lifts.

First to put together a killer package consider purchasing airfare, lodging, lift tickets, and rental equipment from the same business.  The more you buy from the same outlet the better deals you typically get. The most important thing I can tell you is to check the distance from the lodging, and rental store to the resort. The closer you are to the resort the better for convenience sake however the more expensive its likely to be. So try to get an idea of how much money you want to spend in relation to how close you want to be to the resort. Another important thing with the lodging is to ask about amenities. Having things like a fireplace, a kitchen which is not only nice but they can save you money of eating out and eating at the mountain lodge while on the slopes!

Last but not least remember to have fun and enjoy yourself you earned this vacation!

Top 3 Considerations To put Together a Sierra At Tahoe Ski Package

Congradulations if you have decided to start planning a ski vacation package to Sierra at Tahoe. With the wide assortment of ski resorts and wonderful scenery you really cant go wrong with this choice. Now whether your planning on going with you college buddies, a special someone, or perhaps for a wedding I hope this article will help give you some advice on how to plan a package. I will also start by giving you some information on Sierra at Tahoe and the resorts there.

First the resorts in the area are many and vary in terrain and atmosphere.

1)   Heavenly Resort. Conveniently the resort is right near the casinos of the South Lake Tahoe if that is something your into. Heavenly is one of the highest concept resorts in the state and the largest resort in California with 4,800 acres. It has the longest vertical drop of 3,500 feet and the highest summit of 10,067. On another note it has the largest snow making system in the state as well.

2)   Sierra At Tahoe. This resort is located twelve mile west of South Lake Tahoe, has 46 ski trails and covers 2,000 acres with a 2,212 vertical change in elevation. This resort has a great degree of difficulty but is smaller and ore secluded environment. Great for romantic get away.

3)   Kirkwood is another Sierra Tahoe Resort. It’s the southernmost resort and is famous for its all night rocking nightlife.  The resort itself has 12 lift accessing 65 ski trails and claim an impressive snowfall of 804 inches one year!

Other resorts to check out are: Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Northstar, and mount roses.

When putting together your ski vacation packages consider a few things first. How much money do want to spend, how much can you spend? Next figure out how many people are you taking with you? What kinds of people are you taking with you? This helps give you an idea of what resort will best suit your need for atmosphere.  One recurring thing we will cover is expense verses distance, which we’ll explain in a minute.

The next thing to consider is airfare. When your buy your airline tickets always fly into international airports if possible it will save you tremendously on money.  You better off renting a car and driving to the resort or taking public shuttles or transportation of sorts rather than flying into a local airport.

When considering buy you ski gear as apposed to renting think about this. When you get rental gear from the resort you will get the best gear available with experts getting you boots and bindings fitted just right. Another thing to keep in mind if your bringing ski’s or snowboards on an airliner the bag are oversized which take much long to check in and check out, not to mention most airliners are charging up to 50 dollars for an extra bag. So that can really add up.

Last but not least, lodging. When looking about ask about what amenities are available. Does the room have a kitchen? This can save you tons on not eating out and depending on how close you are to the ski lifts, it can save you from eating at the lodge on the mountain which believe me is extremely expensive.

Now where money equals distance. When you put your package together make sure to have a map handy. Check how far in relation your lodging and ski rental store is to your chosen resort. The closer you are the better but the more expensive!

Also remember to have fun and relax!

I just picked up snowboarding and it’s cheaper for me to buy a package than to rent all season haha so I picked up a 164 2007 ltd prodigy with Lamar mx30 bindings with the size 13 classic head mens boots..I’m 5’11 240lbs and a novice skill level…. Think that’s a good package for some one like me?
I’ll put a link up tomorrow to eBay whee I got it also I should mention it’s a wide board

well it may be a stupid question but heres 2 things im wondering abouttt.1. when you buy bindings they come in pairs right?? my aunt was going over my order and she asked me is this the price of one or a pair? and i said of course..but i just kept questioning so i just need some clarification on that and 2. when you do order bindings do they come with the base plate and screws or do you have to buy them seperately??thanks or and im buying from rei.com looks pretty official lmao

I want to buy a snowboard, boots, and bindings package

With the U.S. Economy in a down slide this ski season, now is the best time ever to find great discount deals on a Keystone ski vacation package. The fact is that you will find far fewer people on the slopes this season then there ever has been before.

This means that every thing else including the world class dining establishments that Colorado is known for have far fewer people also. All of this adds up to great deals that are now being offered by Keystone ski vacation packages to bring in badly needed winter recreationers.

Of course, the place to look is on the Internet but you have to know what to look for when you are doing your own searching. Items that are now regularly being offered by many Keystone ski lodges are free or discount air fare, free airport pick-up, complimentary drinks and meals, as well as great discounts on rentals including free and discount lift tickets.

However; no matter how shrewed a negotiator you may be, often times your local travel agent will be able to get an even better deal for you because they deal in volume. Also, often time travel agencies will sniff out resorts that are having a high vacancy rate and buy up package deals and market them.

Either way you do it, now is the time to ski and snowboard in the winter wonderland that Colorado is. Also, if you haven’t heard, Colorado is a known center for working world class artist that offer their creations in some of the finest galleries that you will find anywhere and that certainly applies if you have an eye for wildlife art. So now is the time to check your schedule and find a place in it to treat yourself and any friends and loved ones that you bring along to new memories to last a lifetime at a Keystone ski vacation package.

I’m looking to buy a good snowboard-boot-binding package for the upcoming ski season, is now the best time to buy online?
