Hers's how this story goes. 2 years ago I met a girl, she was the coolest thing since nirvana. she liked to snow board, I had never been snow boarding before. So to impress said female, I bought a snowboard & boots from a friend for $80. we made plans to go hit the snow 16 times, not once did it work out. for years my board has been sitting in my closet waiting for the day I could afford to go, little I know how affordable it actually is. This will be the year!
The destination:
The cost for an adult is 40$ a day for an afternoon go on the mountain.
Now for gear:
the boots came with the board for $80. I lucked out with sizing. the jacket and the pants came from a the aid of the thrift store in one of my previous posts. they cost like $7 the pants and like what $12 for the jacket. the bag for the board was the big spender. it cost $20 at Big 5, on sale. that was a major risk for me and a even better find. I had to have it, it colorful. though seeing how I could have gotten one with a little digging for cheaper at a thrift, it wasn't the wisest move; it was only 1/3rd of the original price. OK joking aside, it goes show you; you can still find deals at retail stores.
