I’m just taking up snowboarding (for my sins) and i’m looking at getting set up with some new snowboarding gear. I know roughly what i need, a good burton snowboard, burton snowboard boots, snowboard bindings and some warm and comfy clothing to protect me from the elements on the mountain.

I’ve been looking at loads and loads of different models and styles and quite frankly i’m lost. My riding isn’t too hot but i’m not a total beginner so i’m looking for some snowboard boots that will last a good few years (I’m not made of money!). Any ideas on what models are good for 09/10?
