Excellent info for beginners on the BEST snowboard packages available where you can check out the shops that carry them!
After lots of talking to my snowboarding school buddies and searching the net. I have found some of the best packages out there are always found starting September on into December…
The news is that most of the good snowboard packages get sold out fast because they get scooped early in the season…
If you want a good package deal shop early like before Thanksgiving and take advantage of the early season with lower lift prices and resort deals…
But first lets look at what makes good snowboard packages and you can learn what are some of the PROS and the CONS of buying snowboard packages.
Some of the PROS are that you can get a whole set of gear for a good price that has been matched by the best in the business. They know what boards, boots and bindings will work together well.
You often get a really good reasonable price for packages as the shop selling them makes out well…They sold 3 items instead of one or two.
Now lets look at the CONS of snowboard packages…The biggest problem is a cosmetic one only…..This means that the selection of colors is limited with the shops selling only one or two color or style choices.
Another CON is the limited range of sizes in boards, boots and bindings. If you can find the right sizes , then you are pretty average size. But if you are on the small side or large side it will be more difficult to locate a good snowboard package deal that will fit you…
Another good option is find stores where you can build your own package…check out Fog Dog.com below…
It is important to get the right size equipment, especially the snowboard and boots…Sometimes the bindings like flow bindings can be adjusted to fit a next size down or up. But don’t buy a large size binding if you have a small size boot and expect to adjust to fit…A medium size binding is much more likely to be adjusted to fit either a larger or smaller boot size.
You should check out the section on SNOWBOARD SIZING to get schooled before buying your gear…
ALSO check out the SNOWBOARD BOOTS PAGE and SNOWBOARD BINDINGS PAGE to get schooled in most everything you need to learn about snowboard boots and bindings BEFORE you buy!
When you get finished with those three sections you should know a lot more than you do now….So check out those three sections and then jump on back here to check out the snowboard packages that are available…Keep in mind that most of the online shops also have excellent online help and sizing guides to make it easier for you to get sized and get your gear ordered easily…This goes for snowboards,boots, bindings, clothing helmets and even other stuff like gloves.etc…
