How much Snowboarding question?

If you're talking about Big Bear, PA, a weekday lift ticket is $40 and the equipment rental is $25. Add $10 if you want to rent a helmet. If you go on the weekend, the full day ticket will be $48 and the equipment rental will be $32. So a weekday of skiing at Big Bear will cost $65, and a weekend day will cost $80. I say call in sick to work on the next sunny weekday and have a great time! Group lessons at big Bear are $30. Your first lesson might be free and come with a First Timers package, you'll want to ask about that.

There are many different brands of snowboards, bindings and boots, my suggestion would to go to a ski shop and look around, but be forewarned, snowboards are rather expensive, I've seen some in catalogs that run $3-400 each, and that just the board itself. Lessons are priced according to your ability.

Here at Bristol the Lesson, Lift Ticket and Rentals are a total of 80 dollars. Its probably going to be similar wherever you go. This is probably your best bet because purchasing everything individually costs more money, but you save if the mountain packages it all together. New Equipment can cost a lot of money. I've seen new boards go for as much as 1200 dollars, but you can get a good one for only a few hundred dollars. Between the cost of a new board, bindings and boots, you're probably going to have to spend at least 500 dollars for just the basic equipment. Many places will start putting stuff on sale now because the peak season is almost over. Just avoid going to large chains such as D I C K S Sporting Goods, they sell junk. A place that specializes in winter sports will have better stuff and more knowledgeable employees
