Hi, I'm new here.
I'm 39 yrs old from Saskatchewan, Canada. I was big into snowboarding about 10-15 yrs ago. I've snowboarded in Japan, Australia, BC, Alberta, and Montana (and Saskatchewan but that doesn't count because we have zits not mountains haha).
I kinda gave it up when I got married and had kids. I've only snowboarded about 4 days in the past 10 yrs. Finally, took the wife and kids on a trip to Sunshine Village, Banff a few weeks ago. We had a blast. It re-ignited my passion for the sport. It is absolutely my favourite thing to do in the whole world, including sex haha. Fun to see my kids learning the sport I love so much.
I joined this forum to get up to speed on the sport as it is today, new gear, new tech etc. I need new gear, I am still riding my Burton Rippey I bought in 2001. So I am looking for board, boot, binding, and goggle recommendations. Also, need to get gear for the wife and my 2 boys (they rented at Sunshine) so looking for women's and kid's recommendations.
I am going to try to ride 30-40 days next winter, so I don't want to get shitty gear.
Anyhow, that's me. I just wanted to introduce myself.
Oh I do have one question, what's with all the fucking GoPros on peoples heads!?! Weirdest shit I have ever seen.
