Hey guys, my names Nick, and I'm new on the scene to say the least. I've rented about 4 times, and man I just love snowboarding, I love damn near everything about it

. I live in Maryland, which means I have to drive a fair distance to get to a decent hill, but I think I'm willing to do that and get into the snowboarding scene.
Now, with that said, I've been looking around the trusty internet at boards, bindings, and boots, and needless to say, finding the right one for me has become quite a daunting task, so I come here asking, Is there anyone out there willing to help a noobie out?
