"what board, bindings, boots?"
 
   I am trying to deside on a board, boots and bindings. I consider myself a intermediate snowboarder. When i ride i like to pretty much do every thing(some park, powder, and groomed runs). I have always just rented boards and figure it is time to get my own stuff. I am 6 feet tall, 170 lbs, and wear a size 10.5 shoes. I am an athletic person (work out 3-4 times a week).

If you need any more information just ask.

   Boots = whichever ones fit the best. A pro-shop should be able help you here. You're looking for minimal heel lift and a tight, but not uncomfortable fit.

Bindings = whichever ones are good fit for your boot and have the features you seek in a binding.

Board = Again a pro-shop can help you. The Burton Air comes to mind as a good intermediate all-mountain board that you can grow into, but there are literally tons of boards that will work for you.
