At least it is to me coming from oregon im not use to going up a mountain then coming back down in less than 5 minutes.
Your statement makes no sense. That's like someone from Germany coming over here and telling you not to buy a high horsepower car, due to the speed limit being 70 mph. Or you not liking big tits cause they're fake. It's about 30-40 bucks to get snowboard and boots every time you go snowboarding and they suck! You can piece together a good beginners package for around $300, specially since it's the off season now.
