if you are snowboarding, you will want snowboarding pants and gloves since you will be spending alot of time sitting on your butt, hands and knees. snowboarding pants are waterproof and breathable as well as reinforced in the butt and knees. your gloves should be water proof and insulated. also if you are snowboarding you want to only wear 1 pair of cushy socks... but they should be wool or synthetic, NOT COTTON, 2 pairs will cause your foot to slip inside the snowboard boot (which are meant to be tight) and will promote blisters. also don't forget sunglasses (or goggles) and sunscreen... UV light is more intense on the mountain at higher elevations and will also be greatly increased by being reflected off the snow.
well... layering is good so you can strip off layers if you get too hot but the number one rule is NO COTTON. cotton is fine for the lodge or the cabin but on the hill you will get hot and sweaty (i know it seems crazy but you are exerting yourself). cotton ABSORBS moisture; this is NOT a good thing especially in the snow.. being cold, wet and miserable will ruin your day.
u want 3 layers:
1. base layer - long underpants and long undershirt made of synthetic or silk that transport moisture AWAY from the skin. do not wear the normal thermals made of cotton, they will be soggy after only a short while (imagine damp clothes under your outer layer!)
2. insulating layer - again bulky cotton sweatshirts and sweats are a no no. they will absorb everything like a sponge. look for a sweatsuit made of POLAR FLEECE or similar... NO COTTON!
3. outer layer - jacket and pants. these should be water repelling and windproof. do i have to say it again, NO COTTON? so no jeans. you can get away w/ a water repellent shell and pants here since the insulating layer will keep you warm.
i've been boarding since the early '90s and ski'd before that since the early '80s and here is what i wear now:
in COLD conditions:
THERMA SILK base layer
NIKE polar fleece half zip jacket
NIKE polar fleece pants
BURTON hooded snowboard jacket
BURTON cargo snowboard pants
BURTON snowboard gloves
BURTON tech socks
BURTON wool beanie
FLOW boa snowboard boots
OAKLEY goggles
in warm weather (spring conditions) i substitute the NIKE polar fleece layer w/:
NIKE basketball shorts
FOX RACING motorcross long sleeve jersey (thin)

- If you've got nothing nice to say, what the hell is wrong with you!?!
If you're just learning, you should wear a helmet.
The first time you catch a heelside edge and SLAM onto your back, you'll either thank me for the advice, or curse yourself for not listening.

don't buy anything too expensive as this is your first time and you don't know if ur gonna do this often... just get what u feel comfortable w/. just remember no cotton. i only put a list of what i wear as an example... but i usually go on multi-day boarding trips 3+ times a year and have all my own gear including the 4WD SUV to get me up and back safe. trips are always more fun when u are prepared and have whatever u need in almost any situation... less stress = more fun.
