Gear Black Diamond How to snowboard on a black diamond course?
Just purchased and assembled all the gear I need, from board, to binding, to boots, to jacket, gloves, pants, helmet, and goggles. I can competently snowboard everything less advanced than a black diamond, but have never attempted it for fear of lack of know-how. Tips, hints, and thorough instructions would be greatly appreciated!
The same way you do on a blue! Blacks are usually either just a little steeper, not groomed, don't have snow making, or the same pitch as a blue, but a lot longer. They also might have trees or be narrow. You should be sure that your resort has double black diamonds because some places don't and just label things with cliffs and trees as a single black. You can also ask your local ski resort what the easiest black diamond is. Overall, it's actually not that bad.

What downhill Ski Gear should I buy?
I want relitivly expensive gear for an 18 yr old male. Brand names only, but i dont no what to buy. I need skis for a person who skis 20 times a year and does black and double black diamond runs. I also need a very good helmet, ski boots, warm mitts and googles. What should I buy? price quotas would be nice. ?
Oakley's are great for goggles. i prefer Giro helmets. I like Nordica and Tecnica boots better too. You really need to go try them on and see what feels best on your feet.
I think if you are an expert, there are many skis you could use. I am an east coast skier, so I use GS skis, because I need a good edge on the ice. Out here, Volkl (marker bindings) and Atomics (atomic bindings) really get it done. If I was on powder, I would prefer a Dynastar Legend 8000 with Look or Rossi bindings, or maybe some Atomic Nomads with atomic bindings.
For us to recommend skis, we really need to know where you are skiing. In the end it's best to demo skis before you buy anyway, as what works for one doesn't necessarily work for others.
For $$ expect to 1200-1500 for top gear, with most of the $ going to the boots, bindings and skis
