Hi guys, looking to buy myself a snowboard and wanted to ask you seasoned pros on the types to get.

I've never owned my own skis/board and always rented. I am fairly good at skiing doing double blacks and a newbie at boarding but still being able to go down a black run. Although i broke my tailbone last season dicking around too early on the bunny hill at the end of a day on the blacks lol.

anyhow. I am not familiar with whats out there but was going with a safe choice of burton branded gear. Looking to spend around $600 for boots, binding, board combo: obviously on sale items for a decent brand name set for that price.

Is there other good brands you'd pick over burton or specific ones to avoid? also where are good places to go for sales. thnx
