Has he ever been snowboarding before? (Well considering you're in Montana, I'm guessing yes...)

 

Once you get a board, you also need to consider the bindings and the boots.

he went last year for the first time, he's 14.....

 

Believe it or not, not that many people ski here. Its very expensive, lift tickets are around $50 a day, even the passes are high.

Boots

pants

I understand what you are saying. I'm in Colorado, now a lot of people here ski and board. We don't partly because it is so very expensive. I think the least expensive lift ticket near us is $40+ and quite frankly driving to the ski resorts in the middle of a snow storm does not appeal to me at all.

If he doesn't go very often it's still better in the long run to rent. Less up keep that way too.

we might just do that, I think last year some deals came up but wasn't really paying attention to it LOL
