stl's for skis, leaving about 300 for boots n bindings, so you can go with 1972 rear enty boots, or you can duct tape your sneakers to your skis, and have 300 for something else

the only reason i say the public enemys is because it sounds like you dont really know what yer doin and k2's are pretty indestructable. thats why i wouldnt suggest 4fronts for a newb.

I just dont know much about the companies, that doesnt mean i havent skied before. i get a hold of these sports quick for some reason and i dont really care about indestrucatibility at this moment. *yea i really spelled that wrong...*

you can easily find nice boots for $200, look for salamon performas, they are comfotable, or you could ask your parents to give you some money to help pay for em
