for all of my fellow canadians who are weary about shipping UPS from backcountry and all their sister sites: they take care of the 'hidden fees'. you pay for what you see when you buy the item and when it gets delivered, there is no COD included. i bought a pair of goggles from whiskeymilitia and a backpack from backcountry, and the only bad thing was it took 2 weeks to get here and the crappy exchange rate.
also, their customer service is excellent because after doing their post purchase survey, i quickly got an e-mail apologizing for the reason i complained (UPS was a jip). i e-mailed the replier and within minutes he replied. even when my tracking info wasn't up to date, i e-mailed him back and got an almost instant reply. he advised me to call UPS which i did, and after telling the csr that i would take it through customs myself, she told me that they had already taken care of it.
just wanted to share this because i kind of regretted making those purchases after researching and reading all the bad experiences people had with UPS shipping from the states to canada, but in the end, i didnt have to pay a cent to UPS
backcountry rules!

Dogfunk.com has got a 20% off damn-near-everything sale on right now for street and outer wear. Sadly, not snowboarding gear... but at least you get a deal on the steeze!

Owen Wilson is nowhere near here, thus you are wrong.

GOOD:
Burton Snowboards, Burton Bindings, Burton Boots, and snowboard reviews - Free shipping to U.S.
Sierra Snowboard is my favorite of all online shops. Based in SF, CA they offer free shipping and no tax for anyone outside CA state. They always have killer deals throughout the season, especially on clothing and gear from previous season s. Yes, plural. They usually start discounting the current season's gear earlier than other retailers. This is the online store I've spent the most with over the years, from boots to glove liners. They have great/speedy customer service either phone or email, and process returns/exchanges very quickly.
Dogfunk.com: Snowboarding Clothing and Gear from Burton, Volcom, DC Shoe Co., RVCA, Nixon, Oakley, Vans, Reef, DAKINE, Forum, and Zoo York
Dogfunk is my next favorite, and I've bought a bunch of stuff from them, from boots to outerwear. Based in Salt Lake City, UT they also offer free shipping and no tax for anyone outside UT. They have sales from time to time and discount codes other times for 10-20% off regular priced items. They are owned by Backcountry, same people that own WM, TD, SAC, CG. Fantastic customer service, with options of calling, live help online, or email. They process returns, refunds, and exchanges very quickly.
evo | Skis, Snowboards, Wakeboards, and Apparel
You guys should really checkout Evo. They are my favorite local shop, but their online inventory is completely separate from their retail store. I get charged tax, so I've only purchased from their physical store, not website. For all of you outside of WA state, checkout their Outlet section for killer deals and good selection.
BAD:
The-House sucks, in my opinion. Their only good deals are on cheap stuff. Their prices on high-end boards, bindings, etc... can't come close to touching other sites. They send a catalog once in awhile, which I just throw in the recycling bin without a glance.
DO NOT ever buy anything from Tightboards or their parent company, Boardparadise. Here's why: http://www.snowboardingforum.com/buy...ard-equipment/
Blue Tomato's prices seem very high for Americans, because of the strong Euro. Pro Boardshop seems pretty worthless, too.

The-House, Pro Board Shop, and DJ's Board Shop are all The-House.

BackcountryCorp does not price match, and thus does not want my business (not that they need it).
Big minus points.
(09 stuff)
Smith Hustle Helmet Matte Graphite (preferred) or Matte Black - size Medium
Smith Phenom Black Intersection w/ Sensor Mirror Lens
Skullcandy Holt/Hustle Single Shot Audio System (with the snaps) - size Medium - $15 at REI
or the twin tip system - $30 at REI
or
Smith Hustle Audio Helmet Matte Black (uses twin tip audio system)
Smith Phenom Black Intersection w/ Sensor Mirror Lens
Any stores willing to sell for around $195 shipped?
