As you start to think about snowboarding, remember to grab a few additional things to make your life easier when up at the slopes.  Although the essentials such as boards, snowboard clothes, and lift ticket passes are important, there are other little things to consider taking with you to make your excursion a more pleasant one:

• Lip Balm:  Your lips dry out easier on the slopes, so a good lip balm is an essential to bring along in your pocket.
• Quarters:  If you use the lockers many ski resorts have, you’ll need quarters.  Bring along a couple dollars worth, and you are good to go.
• Backpack: Whether you are going to use it on the slopes or stuff it away in a locker, a backpack is a great way to keep things neat and compact.  That way you don’t lose stuff on the runs.
• Snacks:  For the slopes when the last run has you tired and hungry.  I like taking granola bars up, but whatever you find good works.

This is an incomplete list, but the general idea can apply for other items as well.  Just make sure you have the little details planned out, too.  That way you won’t forget or regret a decision and/or visit to the ski runs.  See you out there!
