I've been snowboarding for 20 years.
Snowboard & Bindings, come behind your purchase of boots.

Don't look at boot price tags, just get the ones that feel best. Nowadays, the differences for a learner between the various bindings and boards are nominal enough that you can get away with lower end.

There are various sample sales, and year end sales that come in handy as well. Kijiji for the board/bindings.

Take lessons those first days. Developing improper habits on your own, greatly affects your learning curve, & equates to wasted lift ticket dollars and days.
