All the talks about boarding got me all excited, just got a new burton cartel right before last season end, and i've been dying to put the new binding to use...i still need new boots though, any recommendations?

Ya your right in the sense of getting a board that fits your weight but if u have big feet u should also consider that a factor and get a board with a widder waist width so your feet dont hang over the edges..
Did u take a look at the custom wide?
Yea but the wide will be just as annoying as a longer board. If I don't fit ill just ride at more of an angle or chop my toes off.

My snowboard gear is sooooo old... I like to buy in the off season for the big savings but I'll probably hit up next year.

O-cha, make sure you get a pair of boots that fit well and are comfortable. They're the most important part of your setup.

Yea I know, which is why I was complaining. Theres just barely too little room for my big toe. I'm pretty sure by the end of a day it would be sore or blistered.

Anyone have a lot of experience with new bindings, will they let out a little maybe? I have a feeling they wont since its a length problem not a too tight around the foot type thing.

So close though. I'm going to see if they will let me return them and keep the special I got in return for me getting my outerwear from them.

I'm sticking with my 2 year old Burton Custom, bindings, and booth. I have the Burton Shaun White Boots, quite comfortable. Much more comfortable than your normal Burton Boots because I find them to be a bit on the stiff side. Solomon makes really comfortable boots IMO.

where do y'all like to ride? I'm looking to check out Utah this year. I've been spending the last few winters at Vail / BC / Breck
You should try out Winterpark, Colorado.
after going to breck, steamboat, and etc.. over the years, we liked it the most.
Very few people, and always has good snow fall. Makes for some great runs, with a fast lift time.
Pretty good amount of stuff to do in town as well.
