[QUOTE="STXDriver98544, post: 14684886, member: 140519"] Yea, I would consider myself on a level between intermediate/beginner, so when purchasing everything I'll want something that I'll be able to "grow into" skill-wise. I will want my boots to be a quality fit, that I can hang onto for years to come. Bindings and board I will purchase with the expectation of having to upgrade in the near future. And for the brain bucket, you can bet I won't be cutting corners on that purchase! Yea, I plan on doing my shopping this summer, when things go on clearance. I've heard that's the best time for obvious reasons. It's hard to trust peoples advice here in Texas at the stores, but, I do plan on doing a lot of trying on and "feeling them out" before I go buying some. It'll be a step by step process for sure, I might just buy boots for now and then purchase a board and bindings next winter. I've heard mixed things about the "Boa" style, because you can't adjust your upper or lower areas separately, it tightens everything down the same, which sometimes makes the boot uncomfortable. Luckily clothing has already been covered, this wasn't my first year on the slopes. I've been a skier for quite a while, I've boarded the last 2 years though. I'll definitely keep in mind the possibility of upgrading, I won't go out buying the best of the best on my first gear purchase! When I go try stuff on, I'll look into 32's, I've had my eye on the Burton stuff online. And yes, I'm sick of renting, the equipment is expensive as hell to rent, and the quality sucks. I figured by buying your own stuff, it'll pay itself off because those rental fees are so high. Hell, one 5 day trip costs the same as a pair of boots practically. [/QUOTE]
