I would like the company to be at a reasonable price. Also where are the best places in Pennsylvania to learn. And what tips would you give to a beginner like myself.

    for reasonable prices, go for the lower name brands (morrow, 5150) they are cheaper and can be very affordable.
    if you have a little bigger budget try looking at k2 or burton (burton is not very cheap, but very ncie, and so is k2)
    try looking for a play it again sports in your area. they sell snowbaording stuff(morrow, ride, burton and 5150) and they even have some packaged deals.

    as for pennsylvania,, shows a lot of resorts that are avalible for you. im guessing they recommend pocono mountain, so check there site out.

    as for tips: get lessons, only way to learn and the easiest way to learn too. take a few lessons, after that youll see a lot of improvment. remember it will come, so just keep practicing on the bunny hill and you’ll be hitting blues and blacks in no time.
    -keep you knees bent
    - always look straight ahead
    -be aware of others
    -do what your instructor says
    -have fun

    to wear:
    underarmoun or shirt, sweatshirt and jacket
    longunderwear or sweatpants, and snow pants
    wear thick socks, you’ll need them.

    Biggest tip: Have FUN!

    happy shredding, good luck

    I would also go for a k2. I received a k2 this year it has turned out great. My edges stay sharp and I have yet the need to wax my board. A good place to buy snowboards ( snowboard gear) is backcountryoutlet.com. The best time to get gear is right before snowboard season starts (august-october) or in the summer. They have great prices although most of the gear is considered last-year it works just the same trust me! The best tip I can give you is to practice practice practice! Take every opportunity to hit the slopes DON’T GIVE UP! :) To work on your balance when your not around the mountains try to jump on a skateboard work on your heel-toe stearing. GOOD LUCK!
