I bought a snowboard, bindings and boots this weekend. I started shopping for them a couple of weeks ago.
For some reason, the snowboard designers insist on making womens boards extremely girly with flowers, butterflys, etc. They even have boots designed to look like a Louis Vuitton bag. Seriously, you're covered from head to toe in layers of clothing that make you look 2x your natural size and you care if your board matches your outfit? Very silly. I think I managed to do okay with this one. A sky theme - fitting for me. Don't worry mom, I also bought a helmet.
