My winter is devoted to finding sweet lines on my board, ripping on some skis, and snowshoeing into the backcountry to get it fresh. In the summer, i canoe and bike as much as possible, shunning the indoors.

MSR Hubba Hubba Tent 2-Person 3-Season
October 1, 2009
While the hubba hubba does do decently in the wind, the skyledge 2.1 is by far the sturdiest tent out of your selection. The cross poles at the top are joined by a power clip, something that makes the tent significantly sturdier than others. Notice on how the hubba hubba and the copper spur that there is only one pole in the middle that supports it from the ground. this leads to a softer tent top, which can be a concern in the wind. The marmot tent has steeper walls than the skyledge, which catch more wind. Also, the skyledge is pretty darn roomy, it's not called a 2.1 for nothing.

Arc'teryx Bora 65 Backpack 3720-4330cu in
September 30, 2009
The key here is whichever pack fits you better. In my experience, arc'teryx packs are the best fit, IF they fit. They tend to only fit a small range of people, but the people they fit love them. Gregorys are a little more flexible, fitting a wider range of people.
One feature that really sets this pack apart from the Baltoro is the aluminum stays in the backpanel. These stays increase comfortable load capacity by transferring more weight to the hip belt. Also, by bending the stays to fit the profile of your back you can get an even more comfortable fit. Also, the durability of the Bora is legendary.
Some features that the Baltoro boasts that the Bora lacks are the Response suspension system and better organization. The response system is basically a suspension that moves with you. the hip belt is attached to the pack with a rotating disc that increases mobility, which is nice when you are navigating tricky terrain. The organization is more of a personal choice.
Overall, I think the Bora is a better choice, but you need to go into a gear shop and get them fit to you. Just because you are a small person doesn't mean you need a small pack.

Burton Supermodel X Snowboard
March 12, 2009
The Supermodel X is your ticket to greatness. It has a tapered profile-wider nose than tail-so you will get great flotation in the powder, and make landings in the pow much easier. Also, this board is equipped with a deeper side cut than the custom, making gnarly turns on groomers a piece of cake. Go to burton's website and compare board specs if you want more details.

Burton Snowboard Binding

I have boarded with these bindings for 4+ years, and I find them much more comfortable than my friends bindings. The toe strap can get a little pinchy if you ratchet it down too tight, but you would be hard pressed to overdo the heel strap. Also, i find these bindings allow their highback to have less agressive lean, which i find more comfortable.

K2 Affair Access Snowboard Boot - Women's
February 2, 2009
They way i have molded my boots in the past, which really has worked astoundingly, is to put your liners in your boots, and blast them with a hairdryer for 10-15 minutes, you really cant over-do it with a blow dryer, and the liners dont need that much heat at all. Take an old pair of socks and cut the toe pieces out , and slide the caps over your toes. slide your fattiest pair of socks on over these, and strap your feet in tight! Keep them on as long as you can, and they should fit awesomely. If they dont fit at first, give them a few days riding to break in and pack down some. If they still dont fit, give it another go.

While the minimalist attitude of this board seems kind of sketchy, it actually makes it even more bombproof. Think of it this way, if you have a car made of steel and a car made of titanium, the car made of titanium will be lighter, stronger, and more exensive. Its the same with the board, they used better parts so they could use less of them. The k2 boards i have ridden (and still ride) have proven to be rugged and dependable, and they were definately not their top line boards.

If you are planning to ride pretty much exclusively park, this is a great board for a beginner. It's medium flex will be plenty responsive without being too sensitive, making it easy to control. However, without having snowboarded much at all yet, you might find that other areas of the resort draw your attention more than the park. Thankfully, this board is really affordable so ditching it in a few years if you change your style wont be a big deal.

Ride Sage Snowboard Boot - Women's
November 24, 2008
Nope, the liner is heat molded so there is no nasty plastic pieces poking you. To get a super good fit with these, stick a hair dryer in the liner for a few minutes, put the boot on and tie it super tight and walk around for a while.

Burton Mission Snowboard Binding

Nope, all you need is a fatty phillips head screwdriver. When installing bindings, it is best to use a regular screwdriver so you dont over do it.

If you have any binding that is not really obscure or bizzare, it will work. It might work with step ins, but it would be a bad idea.

Burton Sapphire Snowboard Boot - Women's
November 11, 2008
I am a guy with pretty large calves, and i have a horrible time finding boots that will accomodate them. What i have found works best is to sacrafice some stiffness for some comfort, its better to have a little less control but still feel your feet. Also, i always lace my ankle really tight, but the tops looser, that will help some. As far as i know, there are no boots specifically that will accomodate larger calves without getting a larger boot size.

Boot sizes are decided by how big your feet are, not how big your baord is. The thresh hold for deciding if you need a wide or not is around 12. if you have noticed your toes draggin in the past, get a wide.

154, you are small enough that the 154 will float you fine, and (no offense) the 161 might be a bit weighty for you to swing around for quick turns.

Burton WindStopper Hooded Jacket - Men's
November 7, 2008
This hoody will definately keep you warm below freezing, the windstopping layer will help keep alot of warmth in. I dont know what the coldest temp it can withstand, but i wouldnt not make it my primary jacket, and i wouldnt even bring it in the backcountry. Its just a casual sweatshirt with some extra tech, not something to depend on.

Yes, it allows for uninhibited shoulder movement while paddling. It also has some pretty nice pockets for all your emergency gear, in case the unthinkable is realized.

Socks are purely for comfort and warmth. If you have had not problems with blisters or cold feet with your previous boots, dont wear them. If you are worried about getting blisters with these, just order half a size up and wear some thin hiking socks.
