I have a 2 day trip coming up and I'm all set! I have all of my gear except for my gloves, fleece hoodie, and a beanie. My local shop is having a "30% off all snow gear" sale. I got everything from them except for the board, 1st layer, and goggles. Got the board from a forum member. Thanks grasschopper! Here's what I got:
2010 Lib Tech T.Rice 157 - $290 - I kmow it's not a beginners' board, but I couldn't pass it up!
Union Force bindings - $140 - not ideal for the board, but again, I couldn't pass it up!
32 Summit boots - $70 - wore them around the shop while shopping, felt like a pretty good entry level boot
Anon goggles - $48 - purchased off of ebay
Gold's Gym 1st layer - $40 - Gold's Gym? I know right??? On sale at Walmart, hell, i'll give it a try!
32 Ridgeline socks - $14
32 TQ jacket - $120
Nike Ruskin pants - $147

When it's all said and done I will have gotten all of my gear for around 1 grand! And being that the gear should last me 2-3 seasons, I'd say that's a steal! Now i wish this trip was this weekend! It sucks staring at all of this gear!

Do some carpet boarding. its always fun. Too bad doing presses in the living room on carpet is much easier than snow haha.

Also I don't see why the forces are a bad match for the T Rice. Forces work on anything haha.
