[QUOTE="sunburned, post: 14684907, member: 30336"] I rode for years on a bargain basement setup that was less than $500 for boots/bindings/board and it worked ok. But upgrading was quite an eye opener. Went from crappy lace up boots to K2's with BOA and heat molded inserts. You can get BOA's nice and tight for the slopes or pop em loose in 2 seconds for walking around. Mine were only $200 or so. Definitely have to try these on, don't buy online. I stepped up to some decent Burton Custom bindings for a few years, which worked fine but it got so old having to sit down and strap in every damn time. Here on the east coast, the runs are very short so you spend a lot of time riding the lifts and strapping in. Plus the ratchet straps wore out after only a few years, I guess they weren't getting as tight as I liked. Upgraded last year to a set of Flows and they are so much nicer. Aluminum frame for stiffness and the footpads are super cushy, plus angled inward to take stress off your knees. They were around $300 but definitely worth it. Board is a K2 Raygun that I picked up 2 years ago from REI. I did a bunch of research online to find a really good all-around board and this was the consensus. It's a rocker profile, which makes it harder to catch an edge in the icy fake snow we have in the east. Check out the snowboarding forums plus look at reviews on sites like backcountry and evo.com.
