Is this a good package deal on Sims equipment?
Just got back from Sportmart, they had a midnight madness sale where alot of
stuff in the store was on sale. I got a package deal on a Sims board, bindings, and boots all for $199 + tax. This is going to be my first trip out so I don't know how good this stuff is. Here's what I got: Sims Raider Snowboard (150): http://www.sportmart.ca/store/2produ...RA2JNTEBJU7HP7 Sims X2 Bindings: http://www.sportmart.ca/store/2produ...RA2JNTEBJU7HP7 Sims Raider Boots: http://www.sportmart.ca/store/2produ...RA2JNTEBJU7HP7 How is Sims equipment regarded? Should I return and invest in something better? Thanks for any help! |

If that snowboard is 150cm, it might be a little short, depending on
your size. Other than that, I think your first time around you should just go for cheap gear unless you're a high roller. Until you've gotten through your first few days on the hill, you probibly won't know what sort of gear you want. After you've gotten out enough that you're comfortable cruising the hill, then I think the next best step is to demo some gear to figure out what you like. Then you can take your time waiting for good deals, and sell off your old gear on ebay. I actually managed to sell boots for more than I paid for them once . |

Some places offer great deals on rental packages. My tiny local hill
offers a season-long rental pass for about $100. It's really hard to judge what equipment works for you before you know how to ride. Check your local hill to see if they offer rental packages before you buy anything, then come springtime you can take advantage of the great end-of-the-season sales. -Jules -- Jules Agee http://learning.snowboarding2.com |
