A New Snowboard

I had to run Tia's trailer to the shop today to check the lights and decided to swing by and look at Sports Authority for snowboards. I looked a bit the other night at Colorado Ski and Golf when I replaced the little kids equipment, but I didn't see a board under $250 and the service was horrendous. I need to write that up since it's a big mistake I think they're making.

So I walked in and first checked bindings. I like the easy entry, flip up back bindings and sure enough they had some Flow bindings for $130. That's more then the $110 I paid last year for the K2s, but it's close enough and I liked the larger front pad instead of two straps. Then I looked at snowboards and they had a bunch on sale and an extra 20% off of more. I found a Morrell 163, good base board for $140 and 20% off, so I ended up paying $110 for that. So $240, add in $20 for a binding protection for another year in case something breaks and $260 out the door. I'd barely have gotten a board for that at CSG.

That made me feel better after the trailer incident (next).
