I don’t actually have anything snowboard related I need to buy?! Its actually kind of a funny feeling.

That’s what I thought about 3 weeks ago…
I now have a new Lib-Tech Jamie Lynn Phoenix + Ride Delta MVMNT bindings…
Oh dear…
I guess there’s ALWAYS more things to buy related to snowboarding..

Which board did you get?

Ride Yukon 159 - Big Feet! 6’2” & 85kg. Plus Some Ride RX Bindings & Burton Rulers. The Rulers are exceptionally comfortable, I’ve been wearing them around the house as a stand-in replacement for ugboots as well.

a MacBookPro… Oh, we’re talking snowboarding stuff.

Hmmm. it was probably a thin zip up wind breaker jacket from 4square.
I had bought a lot of outerwear in November at the start of my season last year.
It was all Burton stuff.
New pants, AK 2L
2 new beanie / toques
thin zip up jacket (I had to get some new thin long sleeve items, for the summer riding, I can now due at the snowflex centre!)
I also got a new bullet tool, I love those things, I am making a habit of buying a new one each year, and giving away the old one! Kids get stoked when you give them something random and useful like that.
I bought 2 pairs of gloves too. Thinner pipe glove styles, and one glove liner.

Overall I spent a lot of money.

This season I’ll be buying a new board, a new tool, and I will try to limit it to that, but it is tempting.
I should buy boots too, but I’ll wait again, as I have 2 pairs I can wear and that’s one too many.
Plus next season, it is kind of my wife’s turn to buy what she wants / needs. So it may be 2 seasons, before I get new boots.
The ones I ride are about 10 yrs old, they are comfy and they work. The other pair I have are 32s and I like them, just not as much as my first generation Burton ions.
