I'm going to try to improve my snowboarding this winter. The one time I've snowboarded before this I remember my toes being really sore and feeling cramped by the end of the day. Is this normal? Is it just conditioning? What can be done to avoid this?

It shouldn't have anything to do with conditioning. Most likely its just poorly fitting boots. Its both really important and really hard to get boots that fit well. I'm finally happy with my current boots, but it took me 5 different boots to be happy, and I was never forced to replace any other boots because of wear and tear. Also make sure you have absolutely no heel lift.
One tip for beginning snowboarders: when you get off the lift with one foot out, hang your foot over the board in the direction you will want to turn and use that foot as a brake.
