My son is pushing hard to go snoboarding, and I took a lesson many years ago, and can ski at a moderate level - so I have a somewhat of a sense of what to do.
My roadblocks to getting into this are that currently both my son and I play hockey and he is a goalie - so we have a lot of hockey expenses and we have a lot of weekends that are tied up right now - even to the point where it would be difficlt to get out to COP.
On the flip side, just going for a day and renting gear is not cheap and it would nto take many visits to the hill for the gear purchase to become cost effective.
I am somewhat confident my son will enjoy the sport, just need to figure out if the women folk at my house (wife & daughter) would also enjoy skiing/boarding as well, and how we could work it into the family schedule.
I am thinking for christmas of gettig the son a boarding lesson at COP and then going from there.
Son also wants some new goalie equipment for christmas, which makes trying to figure all of this out a little harder.
What should I look for in when/if I buy a board?
