• Name: 2009 Dakine Split Roller Small Travel Bag Men's
• Pros:  Separate comparments, Good color choices, Solid rolling wheels

Experience:   This is a great bag for weekend or 3-4 day trips for the average packer. Keep your riding clothes separate from your regular clothes, your bar clothes covered in spilled booze separate from your work clothes... whatever. The rolling wheels are very solid and wide enough to give you some good contact with the ground even on bumpier terrain. Match it up with the Split Large and you've got a great set.

• Name: 2010 Rome Pusher
• Skill:  Advanced
• Use:  High Speeds,Off Trail,Park
• Pros:  Fun rockered shape, Plenty of pop, Stiff/responsive enough for holding speed

Experience:   The Rome Pusher feels like an Agent on steroids -- throw in the true twin shape and this baby is a monster. The Pusher holds up very well at high speeds with good edge to edge transfer. It gives you the perks of reverse camber (playfulness, extra float in pow) with the torsional stiffness to ride hard and get through crud. Despite the playfulness of this board you can really load up the tail for some serious pop. I paired it up with some Rome Targas for a great all mountain set-up.

• Name: 2009 Burton Heat Pack
• Pros:  Three different heat levels, Quick charging (~4.5 hrs), Comes with plugs for several different countries
• Cons:  A bit bulky, May come unclipped,

Experience:   The Burton heat packs are a great way to keep your feet toasty warm without the addition of bulky footwarmers in your boots on cold days. I've paired these up with my 09 Burton Supreme Heated boots. The heat packs have three different settings with one & two being pretty comfortable for riding. The third setting can get pretty hot and will drain the batteries pretty quickly. One problem I have encountered is that they will occasionally come unclipped from the front of my boots after a couple hours of riding. This is quickly remedied by checking them every now and then. Overall a great product.

• Name: 2009 Burton Supermodel Womens
• Skill:  Intermediate
• Use:  Carving,Groomers,Jumps,Powder
• Pros:  lightweight, Easy to carve, Stable at high speeds, Strong edgehold, Stiff

Experience:   The 09 Supermodel is a hard-charging women's board that is not for the faint of heart. This board kills it on groomers and floating in the powder. I found it to be fairly stiff, allowing for smooth carving at high speeds and quick edge to edge transfer. It has enough flex that I can press it easily, but this board is not meant for the park. You are better suited to add this to your quiver as an all-mountain or freeride board. This is the first board I've owned with Burton's ICS and paired it up with some 09 Cartel ESTs. It's a great set-up for hard-charging down the mountain. The ICS/EST combo allows for lots of stance width and angle adjustments without even stepping out of your bindings. Despite a couple of reviews I've read reporting the ICS/EST as being unstable, I found it to be extremely stable and allowed for great maneuverability/weight transfer. The graphic on this board actually has a wood-like pattern in the background, giving it a great look. The colored pattern on the topsheet actually matches up really well with the black Cartel ESTs that have the 09 Custom board design. I got a lot of complements on the look of the setup whiIe on the mountain. I recommend this board for more aggressive female riders, although it is suitable for intermediates cruising down blues.

• Name: 2010 Burton Player Flannel First Layer Top Women's
• Pros:  Warm but wicks well.,
• Cons:  Fit is a bit big ,
• Fit:  Too big
• My Size:  L
• Fits Like:  XL
• Description:  Long through the torso, big around in the midsection

Experience:   The Player Flannel is warm but wicks well so that you do not end up in the cold after sweating for a run or two. I can wear this over a thin shirt (summer weight compression shirt) with just a shell jacket until about 20 degrees here in the northeast. My only gripe is that the fit is long and it's big around the midsection. That's fine if you are going to tuck it into your pants but is a little like wearing a tent if you are wearing it to chill at the bar with your buddies after a day of shredding.

• Name: 2010 Burton Player Flannel Womens
• Pros:  Warm, soft fabric, Who doesn't love flannel?, Long enough to tuck into your pants to ride
• Cons:  A little too long in the torso,
• Fit:  Too big
• My Size:  L
• Fits Like:  L
• Description:  Long fit through the torso

Experience:   The Player Flannel is soft and comfortable, perfect for a layering piece or by itself on a dry, warm day. It's pretty long in the torso, so it's good for tucking into your pants under a jacket but may seem a little long to some people worn by itself. The fit is a bit baggy but it's really the length that makes it feel like it's bigger than it is.

• Name: 2010 Sierra Reverse Crew Snowboard Men's
• Skill:  Intermediate
• Use:  Groomed,Off Trail,Switch Riding,Ungroomed
• Pros:  Loaded with great tech without the hefty price tag, Clean graphic,

Experience:   If you've had your eye on the Custom V-Rocker but either A.) didn't want to spend the $, or B.) don't want to be limited to EST bindings then the Sierra Reverse Crew is your answer. Get the great tech of a Burton favorite without being locked in to their bindings OR their hefty price tag. The RC rides stiff out of the box but softens up in a few rides. The reverse camber allows for easy pressing, spins and switch riding while still hanging in there at moderate speeds. While I prefer a more torsionally stiff ride for higher speeds, the RC will hold up well for most riders (go for the regular-cambered Sierra Crew if you are looking for a bit more stability). Get a high end board at a low end price and support a rider-centered company like Sierra.

• Name: 2010 Burton AK 2L Cyclic
• Pros:  Goretex, Lifetime warranty, Clean look
• Cons:  Very lightweight,
• Jacket Fit:  Just right
• My Size:  S
• Fits Like:  S
• Description:  Fits a little longer than most smalls but isn't overly baggy.

Experience:   The AK Cyclic is a great jacket for spring-like conditions, or throw on some layers for an all year ride. This Goretex shell will keep you plenty dry and keep the wind out on a breezy day. Face getting cold? Zip 'er all the way up and it will cover most of your face with a soft fabric on the inside to prevent zipper cuts. This jacket isn't swimming with pockets but it's got enough for stashing your MP3 player and some snacks. The inner pocket is big enough to fit a nice size flask for sipping while you work on your goggle tan. Great jacket but don't expect it to keep you warm as a standalone piece on a colder day.

Experience:   This beanie is a great weight for warmer days or for just hanging around. I have a few (yup.. I like it) and usually wear them to/from the mountain and just hanging around. It's not ideal for a cold riding day, but will keep you toasty enough with temps in the 20s and up.

• Name: 2010 Capita Sierrascope FK
• Skill:  Intermediate
• Pros:  Buttery soft and smooth, Makes you giddy,

Experience:   Sierra & Capita really stepped it up with this Sierra edition board. The Sierrascope was a great addition to my quiver for a fun all mountain freestyle board. I'm not a park rider by any means but found the Sierrascope to be wicked (yes.. I said wicked) fun for playing all over the mountain - natural obstacles, rollers, etc. I even took it through some natural bumps to see how it would hold up (we both survived). The flatkick makes it super easy to press and butter but it's still able to hold up pretty well at moderate charging speeds with good edge to edge responsiveness. In the past I've found non-traditional cambered boards to be too unresponsive for my riding style but the Sierrascope really held it's own. In the past this combo of buttery flexy goodness and responsiveness has been hard for me to find. It's not my first choice for hard-charging riding but is perfect for taking out with groups riding at a more moderate pace. The upgrades from a standard Horroscope FK and the price make this board a STEAL. Go out and get one, you won't be sorry.

• Name: 2009 Burton Supreme Womens
• Pros:  Plush liner, Speedlace system,
• Fit:  mid
• Flex:  mid
• Shoe Size:  9.5
• Boot Size:  9.0

Experience:   The Burton Supremes are a top of the line women's boot. These are a midflexing boot right out of the box, breaking in very quickly just from wear around the house followed by ONE DAY on the hill. Yep... took me one day to break in. I went for the heated Supremes with the Thermic heating system for some added comfort on really cold days. I have to say that it works extremely well to keep your feet warm and prolong time on the hill. These boots are really best suited for an aggressive rider who plans to put a lot of days in and wants to pamper their feet.

• Name: 2010 Vonzipper Chakra Goggles Women's
• Pros:  Big field of vision, Lots of lens options through VZ,

Experience:   I own the 09 version of this goggle, which has not changed much for the 10 year. I've struggled for a long time with finding a goggle that fits well for female faces but doesn't lose anything in performance. These are a great fit with a very wide field of view (which most women's goggles I've tried are lacking). Mix it up with a few different lenses and this can be your go-to pair just as it is mine.

Experience:   I grabbed a pair of Exile ESTs to replace my 09 Cartels on my UnInc because I didn't feel like I was getting a good feel from the Cartels. I'm so glad I switched. This is a no frills binding with everything you NEED in a binding. The Asym straps are comfortable and add to response. The footbed gives you a close feel to the board. I really feel like there is so little between me and the board, it's great.

• Cons:  Short,

Very warm, breathable, and the pants dry very quickly if your butt is a little damp from sitting waiting from your buds. Grab a pair, you won't be sorry.

• Name: 2009 Burton Pendant Womens
• Pros:  Blue plaid is a great bright color to stand out, Suspenders for extra grandma-style coolness,
• Cons:  Could use some more waterproofing,
• Pant Fit:  Just right
• My Size:  XL
• Fits Like:  XL
• Description:  Team fit is perfect for me but fits more baggy than a traditional fit. If you don't like your pants baggy this is not your pant!

Experience:   The 09 Pendant pant is a great buy from SS (especially at 50-70% off!) for any weather riding. The team fit is quite a bit baggier than the sig fit, and buyers should be aware of this ahead of time. The azul plaid really pops out and I've paired it up with an AK Rotor Insulated jacket in bright green which looks great with the yellow-green color in the plaid. While these pants are not well-insulated, Burton's team fit allows for plenty of extra layering for those cold and blustery days.

• Name: 2009 Burton AK Rotor Insulated Womens
• Pros:  Breathable, Warm, Waterproof
• Cons:  Not Enough Pockets or Features
• Description:  WEATHER: Blue Bird Powder Day, Cloudy and Cold, Cold and Blustery Day, Storming and White Out, CHEST: Feels true to size, BODY: Feels true to length, INSEAM: Feels true to length,

Experience:   This is a great looking jacket that is super warm. I typically wear a shell with some layers on it even here on the coldest days in northern Vermont. I decided to pick up the Rotor jacket to cut down on some of the bulky layers. The design on the jacket gives it a little extra style to offset the solid color choices. My big complaint is that there are not enough pockets to stow your stuff -- definitely match this up with some cargo-type pants if you have to carry a few things with you.

• Use:  Boxes,Groomers,Jumps,Rails
• Pros:  Durable, lightweight, poppy, Great value

Experience:   Believe the hype, because it's all true. I bought the Hero when I was looking for a fun board to kick around anywhere on the mountain. It does not disappoint. I took the Hero out on a springy Vermont day and it was excellent in the soft snow. It's surprisely easy to maneuver in the springy mush with fairly quick transfer from edge to edge (more than I expected from a soft board). Super easy to press and goof around with but still fun at moderate speeds. It would not be my first choice for high speed riding but was nice at moderate speeds in spring conditions.

Experience:   The Verglas is a perfect warm weather softshell for enjoying spring-like conditions. There's no wind getting through this softshell, which makes it a nice jacket with a layer or two underneath on colder days. The dahlia red is nice and bright and is a little more pink than red. My one gripe is that there are not enough pockets. If you are out riding with an ipod and are looking for a breast pocket you better have it in your midlayers. Otherwise, I love this jacket!

• Name: 2009 Burton Stiletto Womens
• Skill:  Intermediate
• Pros:  Adjustability, Boot hold, Lightweight
• Fit:  fits fine

Experience:   The 09 Stilettos are a good choice for the intermediate female shredder who doesn't want to break the bank. The Stilettos come in a nice variety of colors, allowing the rider to choose from the old standbys or hop into something a little more flashy. I rode the "purple rain," and while not my style I did get several compliments while standing in the lift line. The patent-leather look of the straps really pops out and can bring a simple topsheet to life. These provide a solid ride, as would be expected from the Burton name. The straps are well-padded, although not as soft/flexible as I prefer. The bindings have a nice responsive feel for the beginner to intermediate rider, but more aggressive riders may choose to upgrade to the Escapade or higher end men's binding. Ratchets are solid (again, as one would expect from a Burton binding) and the bindings themselves are highly adjustable so you can tune right in. I rode these paired up with an 09 Blender (gray) (which looked especially awesome), making for a fun ride.

• Name: 2009 Burton Blender Womens
• Use:  Boxes,Groomers,Jumps,Rails
• Pros:  lightweight, poppy, Soft

Experience:   The Blender is a great addition to the Burton women's lineup. I grabbed this from my sister for a couple of runs and really enjoyed playing around on this board. It has a soft feel which makes it easy to press, butter and work out those ground tricks you've been dying to get a handle on. Working on learning switch? The twin shape and easy feel will help you pick it up in no time. A run through the park was a piece of cake although I only hit some jumps and boxes. It has a nice feel on landing, but I will say that it sounds a little "tinny" (hard to describe it any other way). Despite riding this board in a size well under my norm, it was stable at moderate speeds and I felt comfortable anywhere on the mountain. This board can easily be enjoyed on groomers but would not be adequate for high speed charging.

• Cons:  Occasionally fog up if you're working up a good sweat shredding pow

They've really surpassed my expectations and have mostly been taken over by my boyfriend who has a hard time finding goggles that are comfortable on his nose. These have proved to be great for him as well, but he does complain about them fogging up if he's sweating a lot.
