1. Anything name brand you shouldn't have any problems with. Even cheapo snow pants should keep you warm and dry unless your falling a lot on wet snow. For gloves, you basically pay more for gloves that keep you warm and are not bulky. If you have the money or can find a good deal, stuff made with gortex(or similar) will always keep you warm and dry, no matter the conditions. Goggles wise: More money will get you better lenses and more likely to resist fogging, but there is a diminishing return to that. Honestly, buy what you like. I would suggest trying this stuff on in a store at minimum to make sure its what you want and it fits correctly.
2. Good clothing brands I'd look at would be 686 sessions special blend foursquare grenade burton and no cheap clothing will not keep you as warm,staying above 10k waterproofing and breathability is ideal for boarding gear. Some websites I'd checkout for good deals. http://backcountryoutlet.com http://moosejaw.com http://dogfunk.com http://www.sierrasnowboard.com/ http://the-house.com http://www.boardparadise.com/snow/ http://www.whiskeymilitia.com/ - timed sales, you could get lucky though.
