boots for snowshoeing / snowboarding

I would get some AT boots, that way as you progress from snowshoes to splitboard to full on AT ski set-up you already have the broken in boots. The boarding thing is fun as hell until your buddies on skis ditch you on a long traverse, flats or a minor uphill in the middle of a descent.

So you really enjoy sailing? Just get a motorboat. Otherwise your friends are gonna pull into the marina before you. And they'll be out boating on days with no wind. Better yet - go ahead and buy a motor now, then when you get a boat drop it in.

Splitboarding is the answer. Yes sometimes 2-5% disadvantage to AT but this can be overcome. Mainly on flats and traverses but those are lame anyway. Sometimes (rarely) the board is the right tool.
