I would remove this as a gear question, but it sounds like you really need avalanche and backcountry safety. I have yet to take a course myself, but I have read a couple of great books that I would recommend.

Avalanche Essentials

Allen and Mike's Backcountry

If you have a guide maybe you will get some training, but these books are excellent. As far as backpacks go these are many great one out there. Make sure to get something specific for snowboarding/skiing. It will have a pad or hard plate so if you land hard on it your belongings won't hurt you. If you have the cash you migh also consider an avalanche backpack with floatation. And if you sre going to do a lot of backcountry get the ave level 1 training. That is what I am signing up for this year. And a helmet is even more important in the backcountry. People have been found unburied after a big slide with head trauma.

Doing squats (with weights) and wall-sits also helps, although your legs are probably strong enough from skiing. Honestly, since you're a competent skier you're probably better off spending less time in the gym and more time on the mountain.

This book helped me a lot my first year:
http://www.amazon.com/Illustrated-Guide-Snowboarding-Kevin-Ryan/dp/1570281440/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1291094123&sr=8-1

The language and illustrations are super-cheesy and your buddies are going to make fun of you when you're reading it in the lodge, but the fundamentals are described pretty well. It's also cheap: $12.

Keep yourself low (like you're pooping) and get used to having one edge at a time. You'll do great.

I got these, tore the headset and ear pieces apart to get only the wires and speaker, threw the speaker in my Red Mutiny helmet, routed the wire out and plugged into a volume control extension and keep that dangling out of my pocket. Works like a charm. The extension is a cheap piece of shit, so I'll have to replace it every season, but considering it's only $5, it's not bad. Sound quality is pretty good, but will never beat riding with Bose IE2 like I used to (I prefer the convenience and comfort of having speakers in my helmet as compared to having separate ear buds).

I think there's a tutorial online somewhere on how to properly deconstruct these headphones.

This would be a good resource. David is a well respected skier and writer in the Stowe/Waterbury area. The back and side country in Stowe really picks up later in the season, but keep an eye on the depth at the stake and you might get lucky. I wouldn't sleep on spruce peak either, there is a lot of really fun and accessible glades to ride off the top of the old Big Spruce lift.

u/thebearandthegoose · 1 pointr/snowboarding

I think there is another option. Those are kind of expensive.

I got these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0072LAAA0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and then hooked these up https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000JD34/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and there you go! Two for $100. Seems like you get a sweet deal though so if you can swing it those radios are really nice too, but theyre the same thing.

Radios in the bc are immensely helpful. I got caught in an avalanche last year, but my partner yelled up to me to avoid an area I couldn't see. I didnt hear him. Lots of stories go like that. If you can get an extra for a friend that doesnt have one.

u/Dark-tyranitar · 1 pointr/snowboarding

I bought these when I started out. They look ugly as hell but they work really well, and they go inside my pants anyway. Still wear them in the park. They run pretty large though.

Heard good things about skeletools as well. Just search for impact shorts on Amazon.

u/blink183 · 1 pointr/snowboarding

This. And things like the Shaun white games... I discovered The Mooney Suzuki like that. Alive & Amplified is a cracking album to shred to!

Do you mean the Nevis Range ski resort? This isn't actually on Ben Nevis itself, but a nearby hill.

Brave people have been known to ride the Ben itself - see the guide book http://www.amazon.co.uk/Scottish-Offpiste-Skiing-Snowboarding-Nevis/dp/0992606500

Its Scotland - conditions are completely variable. Check out http://www.winterhighland.info/ for up to date conditions reports once the season starts.

Hello all, I was wondering if you guys could give a recommendation on some impact shorts for snowboarding. I have narrowed it down to 4 based upon price and availability to me in Vancouver.

The creme of the crop seems to be skeletools and azzpadz, but those are a little hard to get a hold of, as far as I can tell, in Vancouver.

So if you could either recommend one of the four I have pre-selected, or if you think I'm way off base on something and letting me know. My budget is $150.

u/SamuraiSam33 · 2 pointsr/snowboarding

Yep, I recommend the book I started with, Snow Sense. it’s less than $10: Snow Sense: A Guide to Evaluating Snow Avalanche Hazard https://www.amazon.com/dp/061549935X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_D4oeAbKNJJ93Q

After that, I suggest an avalanche prevention / education course.

u/randomphoton · 1 pointr/snowboarding

These are great

I've worn them for years and they have good fidelity. Bass kicks good, however, you need to be hyper aware when riding with these because they block 80-90% of ambient sound. Better for backcountry or solo riding.

u/clawesome · 1 pointr/snowboarding

Save your money and get this game instead.

u/Funchilly · 1 pointr/snowboarding

Obviously you'll want a flatter lens for this like a nifty fiifty

Then put it in a cage like this or this

If you want to use a longer lens then get something more expensive and rigid like this or this

I found this that is glide cam compatible but it's all up to your opinion really. Just look around for DSLR cages and you'll find a ton.

u/oksenrose · 1 pointr/snowboarding

I read this before last season and got a helmet... with good audio of course.

u/scottlol · 2 pointsr/snowboarding

Goggles sometimes fog if you leave them on your helmet in the cold or if they dont seal properly to your face. You wiped the anti fog off when you tried to wipe the fog. Go get some anti-fog spray like this and treat your goggles, the refrain from wiping the inside of the lens in the future.

u/[deleted] · 1 pointr/snowboarding

I did a similar thing but I used the rubber coated hooks you would use to hang a bicycle up in a garage. like this but more of a L shape instead of a ? shape.

Edit: Turns out they are called Ladder Hooks

Was on sale when I bought it. Reviews say the stitching is bad near the crotch. As snowboarders we don’t do the splits when we fall so that helps. My cold tolerance is high and for me it’s warmer than I expected.

u/Veadro · 1 pointr/snowboarding

Something to think about:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0002EEROE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1395057835&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40
If you want to make your boots last another season. I am used to these, I use them for my rubber boots at work. I can't really say there is any downsides to them. There is a little bit of fitting then to your for shape that takes a few days to set in. But they seriously come out of your boot wet on the outside but dry on the feet. So it's got some legitimate reasons to use then other then just a boot size fix.

u/Floppyboobsack · 2 pointsr/snowboarding

I hate Burton White. That so didn't work for my parents.
