freesia39 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Kibit13 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 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.

hpowers Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 If he doesn't go very often it's still better in the long run to rent. Less up keep that way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freesia39 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 He's definitely way better off renting if he doesn't go that often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
