• Fit:  mid

• Name: 2010 Burton C60
• Pros:  Light weight, Solid as a rock, Look awesome
• Cons:  None,
• Flex:  stiff

Experience:   This bindings provide a rock solid unforgiving connection between your boots and your board, which is exactly what I am looking for in a binding. Fortunately they are also light weight due to the carbon fiber and are well cushioned so that they are also comfortable during long sessions.

• Name: 2010 Oakley Crowbar
• Pros:  Good peripheral vision, Clear definition can be seen, Stylish
• Cons:  Green can make you look like Master Chief, Fog up if your face covering doesn't vent well,

Experience:   If you can find them in the post season they will be the best investment you can make. If you need to replace part of it like the lens you can do that easily because Oakley parts are sold everywhere, and you will also be able to get a large variety of those replacement parts like different lenses. I haven't had these fog up except when I had a bandanna over my face that was tucked in to my jacket on the bottom. They also have handles on the sides so that you don't smudge your lens when you lift off your goggles.

• Name: 2008 Rossignol Scope
• Skill:  Beginner
• Use:  Groomed,Switch Riding,Ungroomed
• Pros:  Solid, Carves well., Stable at high speeds.
• Cons:  Lands hard, Heavy,

Experience:   I got this board as a deal of the day of Sierra for $100 and it was a great investment. I used it with C60s and SL9s and have taken it everywhere in the US and Canada from shitty icy days on the east coast to deep powder days at Vail, and I have to say it will get you down the mountain. It has definitely performed any rental boards I have had and it was the cost of 2-3 days of renting a board. Never really use it in the park though. It is quite hard to pop with.

• Name: 2010 Giro G10
• Pros:  Takes abuse, Relatively inexpensive, Good Ventilation
• Cons:  Goggles don't stay on top,

Experience:   I have been using this helmet around the world since I started snowboarding several years ago and it can take a beating while protecting your head. If you do try to take pull your goggles off your face and put them on top of the helmet they will fall off though. Small price to pay to keep your skull in one piece.
