East Coast Season Is Almost Here. Time To Think About Your Gear.

     You know it is still only August, but it sure feels close to snowboarding season on the East Coast.  I mean guys in Northern Vermont are saying it is in the 40's at night already.  How exciting does that sound!? Pretty lame, but we are addicted to snow, and that is pretty close to thirty.  Fahrenheit that is.
     Anyway, it is also that time of year where great deals on new gear can be found if you know where to look.  Over the next week or so I will post regarding some of the best deals that can be found, and my experiences with the companies. 
     But also remember one thing, don't get caught up in spending all your money on new equipment.  With the way things are going, lift tickets, travel, and lodging are only getting more expensive every year.  Really assess your gear inventory and if you are only going to ride 4 or 5 times this season, you might not need new goggles.  Have an extra day on the slopes instead.
     Now is the time to buy equipment though.  The closer we get to mid September,  the harder it is to avoid paying full MSRP.  Well until next time, keep day dreaming and watching Youtube.....we're almost there.
