[Typo3-t3board03] Agenda Snowboard Beginners

[Robert Meyer]

Hello,

i thought about buying all those stuff in Kitzbühl. The local shops in my
town will ask me what a snowboard is ;-) And i don't have the time / not
very keen on buying all stuff befor.

I will bring nothing (neither gloves nor sunglasses or protectors). Is it
absolutely more expensive when i buy this all in Kitzbühl?
