Snowboard vs Ski Gear
« on: January 10, 2008, 10:43:18 AM »

I've been skiing for a few years now and class myself as an intermediate, however, decided to try snowboarding this year.  I'm reluctant to buy new jacket/pants for snowboarding in case I don't get on and return to the dark-side, however, would appreciate thoughts on whether wearing ski jacket and salopettes will be too restrictive for snowboarding.

TIA.

Some outerwear will cross over nicely.  It just depends on the style of the stuff you have and how it fits you.  BTW, what kind of jacket and pants do you have?nbsp; If it's too lame I can tell you here and virtually laugh at you and save you from actual scrutiny on the mountain Smile (or it might just be cool)

The gigalo with the most below zero!  Check out the Snowboard Sizing Calculator.  Can somebody stoke me already?

LOL.  Guess I'll take my chances.  The jacket and pants are only 2 years old so fairly up-to-date and give a fair range of movement  Very Happy  If I get ridiculed I'll just have to face plant and dig in ostrich style  Razz

Thanks.
