I remember when with $400 you could outfit yourself from head to toe in boots, bindings, board, jacket and pants" Love it!!! One of the main reasons I don't ski as much as I used to is that everything from sticks, lift-tickets, and even bowls of chili have become so ridiculously expensive. While the price comparison to mtn. bikes and custom longboards may hold a little water, once you make those purchases you're pretty much good to go. Even if you do make the Burton investment, you still have a long way$ to go before you're on the hill. “Warning, old man flashback!

Have you seen many DIY snowboards around? I know a handful of guys who shape/ride their own surfboards and have come across a few sites that sell supplies for building your own snowboard (http://www.boardcrafter.com/) and it seems intriguing to me, only because I have big-ass feet and toe-drag is always an issues but the options are limited with wide boards. Seems like it would be easy to implement a lot of this tech for way cheaper if you DIY. Good to see Burton still holding strong with their proprietary binding bullshit.
