Snowboard business upside: Bilow spent $160 on new quick release (switch) bindings Saturday, and $200 on new boots. downside: 19 companies make boots compatible with that binding set, and the number of companies making boards is essentially infinite. I think it was about 1000. But if it's such a commodity market, how come the equipment is so pricey? Must be I shop at the convenient places, and the companies carry big liability insurance. One of my friends keeps buying boards. When he rents, it works out ok, but when he buys, he goes cheap. (Ever see a lot of snowboarders who looked like they had decent jobs?) Consequently, he breaks it on his first few runs. Since I'm an old fogey, I try to keep my board below a decent altitude. -- Carl
