Maybe look for good shop to rent the equipment. If you know another
boarder ask him for help you with the equipment. For a beginner a 2
day curse is a good idea. In 90 minutes you learn nothing.

I don't know any snowboarders, but I suppose if we rented in advance from a
shop, we would have plenty of time to discuss our needs there. It's
difficult to do that a resort with a huge line of other people waiting to
get their own rental boots and boards.
