thanks, just a lil more info. shes not really that into it yet, she has been using my old gear(which is too big) or renting stuff so i was just lookin for stuff that some people have like laying around thats even beat up a bit. she is still on the beginner slopes and learning how to control where shes going. i just wnat to encourage her by having the gear available for her to use because its a pain to rent a board every time. like i said, it doesnt have to be anything nice, just something that wont break. i was thinkin about even goin to bear creeks used snowboard sale this weekend, but i think they sell mostly rentals, and i want to get her out of the step-ins. as far as boots go, i might just have to go to a play it again to get a pair taht fit her right, but i was hopin someone might just have some old board and bindings layin aroudn just collecting dust.
