Ok I just got back from Sportsmart at McCarthy Ranch in Milpas, CA. There was a limited supply of shoes/binding combos with limited sizes(mostly 7 1/2 and 8 1/2) which was perfect for my girlfriend. As far as snowboards for $79.99 there were quiet a few, a manager told me that all boards with red stickers are 79.99 and there were like 30-40 boards with red stickers. Most of them are Lomars, Vision and Static brands(dont know much about those, but I got my g/f a 143cm Lomar that was made in Austria). As I was looking through the boards, some dewd picked up 4-5 pairs of shoes/bindings. We started talking and apparently he got it for resale(coming to the ebay near you

and someone at the different store told him that these were not good quality shoes/bindings and that they were like 4-5 years old models... so buyer beware.
Another thing I got is 2 1/2 pound sleeping bag for $7.97.
In any case I got a whole board/shoes/bindings setup for $110, the board looks nice, the bindings fit the shoes, and yet have to find out whether the shoes fit my girlfriend, but in any case, I can always return it.....
