Oh yea, don't cheap out on boots either. If they are not comfortable, you will not have a pleasant day. For your board/bindings, you would probably want all mountain type board as a starter, the guys working on the stores on West 4th/Burrard are fairly knowledgable and will be able to suggest a length and then the look will be all personal preference.
Lastly, probably my most favourite purchase of all my snowboarding gear is....a $20 face mask.

What is considered a "high millimetre rating" and "all mountain type"? What brand would you recommend for a face mask?
Thanks for all the help! I could just google what you guys said, but I think you guys would give me even better info :P
