I normally use snowshoes when I take my board up, but it can be a strain on the calves for a steep climb, you get into getter powder though.  That's what most folks where I live (Breckenridge) do.\n\nIf you really want to skin up then I would get some blades (super stubby skies) and mount some snowboard bindings on.  You will have to get creative though because you need to be able to 'free heel' to skin up.  You could try using a pair of Trekkers as the mount, they will also lift you up to stop your mounts from dragging.  It all sounds like too much work and gear...snowshoes of use an AT setup when you want to go up the mountain.

Get yourself a few pairs of Merino wool WigWam socks. WigWam socks are made for comfort on the trail. They are also customized to different sports and jobs. These are the socks for you. I'm not sure if they have their own website, but I know they're available at www.mec.com (Mountain Equipment Co-op). \n\nHappy Trails!

I do- I use Ride boots and bindings, and my trusty Peter Line board.  I board in Utah, so powder is the only way to go.  (It is the "Greatest Snow On Earth" after all...).  And, to the previous poster, spring boarding is some of the best boarding there is- sun, no crowds or lines, inexpensive lift tickets, and I actually enjoy the slush, believe it or not...

Remember, rental shops usually buy the most basic and inexpensive equipment and then rent them out a lot. Those two year old skis have probably seen more than ten years worth of skiing in that time.  As the previous poster said, there are tons of good deals on Ebay. Also, check out your local ski shops, if they have any equipment left over from last year you can usually find very good prices on brand new gear.

In North Carolina?  I'm quite familiar with the area.  If you are looking for vertical, try a house in Banner Elk, which is a town at smack in between of Sugar Mtn. (1200 feet of vertical, the best in NC) and Ski Beech (800 feet of vertical).  They are rather exspensive, though.  You could check out houses around Seven Devils, which is where Hawksnest (600 feet of vertical drop) is situated.  Hawksnest is a little backcountry resort with an FIS-rated slope (Top Gun, but it's hardly ever open) and houses there shouldn't be as expensive as the ones around Banner Elk.  Or you could look for a house around Blowing Rock or Boone, around Appalachian Ski Mtn.  It would probably be more expensive than around the Seven Devils area.  App happens to be my favorite resort because of the friendly staff.  I am never lonely at App, because I have so many friends among the ski patrol and instructors!

What do you call cheap? 100-200$ well I do not think that you can get much for that price. you say"cute brand" Sure the graphics are somthing but the underneath the graphics is what realllllly counts. Roxy skis are buy dynastar and yes dynastar is a good brand. And i do agree with you roxy graphics are c.u.t.e! But back on the subject, You shold look into k2s, dynastar,fisher and elans and heads. NOT ALL SKIS have "cute" graphics but they are GREAT skis. Come on while you are skiing do you think people look at the graphics of the skis? Good luck and have a great winter♥

Davos is a pretty good resort, linked reasonably well with Klosters.  It's got a far range of skiing/boarding available so would suit pretty much any ability.  There can be some really good powder too!  A couple of things I'd say though - 1) The linking between runs is not fantastic - you may find yourself taking your foot out of the binding and pushing far more than you'd like. 2) It's very expensive for eating/drinking out/

Demo skis are skis which the ski shop has used to lend to people to try them out.  Usually they are in better condition than used or rental skis, but worse than new skis.\n\nBindings can adjust a little bit, but they can also be re-drilled to fit your boots if needed.  Demo (or rental) bindings can be adjusted fully for nearly any boot, at the expense of being less stable and more likly to eject.\n\n175 should be pretty good legnth depending on the ski.  If you want to make tighter turns, then go as short as 170, but I wouldnt go much shorter than that for most skis.  The exception would be a slalom ski that is designed to make very tight, agile turns and so, has to be short.  Talk to a ski shop, they will be able to help you best.

I am an avid skier and outdoor enthusiastic (as you can see from my avatar). I recently found a site called www.evogear.com that sells ski, snowboard, and wakeboard gear. They have the best customer service, very low prices, and the coolest gear on the planet. I think they are based in Seattle, WA. I have never had a bad experience with them and I've placed four orders!

Try Skate/snow board retail outlets. Maybe even Argos.
