totally depends on what you want to do

im 5'6-7" and i have a 150 park board, and larger boards for the p0wder days

 

Yeah... what Daredevil said. It really depends on what you are doing. I am running a 155. I would say somewhere between 150 and 155 is good for you. Buy your stuff in the off season. Things are a lot cheaper. Also, keep with big name stuff. I would say, look to spend about $300 during the off season. You will need a board, boots, and bindings.

 

You know what they say about people with big feet, right?

My girl's and my board got stolen at Northstar when we popped into the cafe for a powerade. We weren't even gone 5 minutes...I lock my ish up now if it's not in sight.

 

I bought a lock from TriCity when it was still open. Paid $7 for it or something. Was tired of putting quarters into the board lock rack thing at Bear Valley.

Something like this. Only a few bucks right?

 

Be prepared to hurt... just accept it and keep practicing. It honestly took my third snowboarding trip to finally have fun.
