Damn those looks nice! I wanna get new bindings and boots. My burton custom and burton hail boots are ok but they're a tad bit for me. It's a shame since that setup is pretty nice. Time to go hunting down some new bindings and boots I guess! btw what board is that?

Oh and the snow was the same today. Maybe a bit slushier but still pretty icy in the shades. I hate ice...

I wouldnt worry about getting new gear already since you probably wont feel a big difference, when you get better youll figure out what type or riding you will be doing mostly and buy gear then...

As for my board, its a 07/08 Bataleon The Jam

Well then you definitely bought the wrong boots then, try and return them , did you buy them in a package deal?

Boots are the most important part of your setup so you need to try as many boots as you can. IMO Burton boots are not that great I would suggest looking into Salomon or Vans boots.

Snoqualmie is getting some good snow this week Im thinking of heading up tomorrow....

i've been skiing at least two or three times a weekend between the summit, crystal, or whites pass. i like the summit because its a good place to try out some new stuff, crystal is ok but you can't go to fast, thiers no night skiing, and no terrain park. however it does have some sick *** black diamonds.
