So you normally ride around a 155? Lots in this range on ebay. I wouldn't drop more than $150 on a board, $60 for bindings. Go to any mountain, sports basement, sports auth, etc to try on boots to find something that fits. Boot sizes are all over the place in my experience so I don't trust buying them online. I bought a really nice board and bindings from a guy a couple seasons back for $150 off craigslist. He bought the kit to ride with his kids and used it once. :thumbup
I just went yesterday to Donner Ski Ranch with my kid. $35 lift ticket :thumbup
We stayed in Auburn. Lots to eat there and gas up, then it's only 1-1.5 hr drive to Boreal.
Pics from someone on the Subi forums of Heavenly this last weekend:
with a little luck i'm heading up tomorrow morning ass early for kirkwood, alpine friday.
goddamn lift tickets jumped in price since i last went 2 years ago. bastages
I hate Sierra. Crowded, with no accessible tree runs. but good for skiers!
