yeah I have no idea what I'm getting into. I went snowboarding for the first time ever last year and loved it. The first week I went was just learning but the second week I really started to get it down. Now I live 30 minutes from a resort and bought a season pass for this year. There's a shop near my house that sells their rentals from last year so I was going to go buy some of their used gear

Even if you buy used gear from a shop make sure you understand what you’re buying. A lot of the times the boards the rent to beginners are boards that make it easy to get down the mountain but that’s about it. They’re usually heavy and limited. but these are usually too shitty to actually sell so they don’t bother. I went this route when I first started looking and finally found the board I rode that rented for like $25 It was a rossignol and you couldn’t even find it on their site or or any normal sites like evo or similar. It looked like it was strictly built as a rental board. It’s the higher end stuff they sell and that’s when all the different factors of what the board is comes into play. You don’t want to buy a board that you hate being on even if it is only $100.

I would look into season rentals if you haven’t already. You can easily get a full set of demo gear for a season for $200 in Denver. Vs at least $1000 for buying a solid set of gear.
