Hi all,

Havent posted on this forum for a while.

I am planning on going heli-boarding next year 2013-2014 season. This will most likely be in canada but i have not booked or decided on location yet.

Having read quite a bit of advice it seems obvious that i will eed to upgrade some of my gear in order to be able to deal with the deep powder and back country conditions. I obviously dont want to take brand new gear with me so i want to purchase the gear this year so i have a season to break it in.

Im looking for advice on specific gear which will need to be upgraded. At the moment im thinking boots and bindings. I have some pretty basic forum freestyle boots and Ride EX bindings. Any recommendations on upgrades for heli-boarding?

Either specific brands or certain criteria i am looking for?

thanks in advance
