How do I start snowboarding?

I want to start snowboarding what equipment and how much money do i need to start?

  • I am going to learn at snow dome in tamworth. So want to know how much equipment will cost me and even for clothes and if you know any cheap sites. cheers

  • Answer:

    I would suggest buying clothes, gloves, helmet ($300 - $500) and doing a season rental on the board / binding boots ($200) for your first season. Get really good pants, jacket and gloves (Burton, 686, Dakine, North Face, etc) and you will enjoy riding a lot more - plus they will last compared to low quality clothing. At the very least, get the high end Columbia Titanimum clothing - not expensie and it seems to stand up to my kids' abuse. http://www.the-house.com/jacket-pkgs.html http://www.sierratradingpost.com http://www.mountaingear.com Good Luck

I recommend renting equipment if you are just starting. It'll give you a chance to try the sport out and see which kind of equipment you like the best.

well, a snowboard would cost around 500 to 1500 bucks (the ones that are really cheap sucks XP) and a sutible helmet for snowboarding would be about 100, snowboarding boots would be 300 (i think they come seperatly from the boards, never bought a board with boots) the jackets and suit stuffs would all equal to 200 (jacket 75, gloves 25, pants 75, gogles 15-25, and a hat is optional, but you'll look cool with one XD) and the lessons would vary, wherever you go....
