The tighter the boot the better control you'll have in both skiing and snowboarding. And when i say tight i mean TIGHT.

Don't cut off circulation either though. (Wearing two pairs of socks to try to keep warm does the opposite too.)

There is a skiing/snowboarding thread here! Someday there might even be a snowboarding information post, but since the op is getting tons of snow right now they haven't bothered writing any :words: yet.

I will say, comfortable clothing can make or break your day on the mountain, avoid cotton like the plague, wool is great, it keeps you warm even if it gets wet. (this is especially nice for wool socks, your feet are going to sweat, a single pair of good wool socks are amazing) and try to get a decent waterproof top layer, like everyone has mentioned, you will spend a significant portion of your first day on your butt in the snow.
