For the first time i am going to have a seasons pass. The slopes are only about 45 minutes from my place so i will be able to go after work and i am hella excited. I bought a 07 Gnu 11up board, K2 Cinch bindings (bad ass) and new vans boots this weekend. I got the entire package for $840. Getting a discount on a year old board saves a lot. The place didnt have any of the lib tech boards with the new wavy sides that were last years models so i went with the Gnu, which is the same company. The board has the same core, just the outer finish is a little cheaper i think. My old board is a '99 or 2000 K2 fatbob which is stiff, heavy, and a shitty board all around. I also have switch binding which are side stepins. I never had any problem with them, but they are about 7 years old and i dont think they will last much longer. My old boots are about the only thing i had that was any good and they are Vans. Switch boots are not comfy after a while, and i think i am going to be much happier this year, especialy since i will be going up a lot. i only went twice last year. I gotta get comfortable with my new gear, then i am going to start to learn the board parks and do a little bit of jumping.

Any one else excited or get anything new for this year. Or do you plan on getting anything new?
