Anyone else here do any snow sports?

I skied for 7 years before I switched to snowboarding at 12 years old. I find snowboarding to be more fun because I'm better at it and can do more of the mountain on a snowboard. I'm pumped for this winter and I really hope it actually snows this time

I liked skiing the one time I tried it. My uni is planning a ski/ snowboard trip to keebek this year that I'm really hoping I can get money for, should be a blast.

I cut skiing out of my budget the moment my parents were no longer involved in funding it.

Fun, but holy shit is it expensive around here. I'm thinking of getting into back country type o' stuff mostly for climbing access. We'll see...

Just get skins and an AT setup, you'll be set for backcountry :D

Take that avalanche course though, good stuff to know before heading out

I've always wanted to go backcountry or heli-skiing but I live on the east coast and getting to places where I could do that would be really expensive.

I plan on going to Whistler if I ever get the chance

I've been there, it's spectacular. I've skied and snowboarded all around the world and the alps in SWLD and France are just awesome. Austria has some nice places too.

I did. One day at Winterpark before break (gorgeous weather, but they could still use some snow), and one day at home at Alyeska (decent amount of snow, they just need to open up the whole mountain).

Built a small jump outside our house last winter when we got our once annual snowfall. Hopefully we get a ton of snow sometime this winter too.

I Bought a pair of Rossignol skis 2 years ago, I went to a few mountains with my buddies, one in quebec, one in nova scotia. Nothing amazing, but it was still fun. I love skiing, shame I can only go once or twice a year. #14 is luckyyyyyyyy.

You should give snowskating a try, its awesome for handrails with a bad lineup for snowboards and extremely fun. living in saskatchewan there is almost no hills/mountains so i only snowboard if i get a chance to go to a resort :(

I've been snowboarding most of my life. Unfortunately i live in NC so our mountains suck and i don't get that many opportunities for good snow. My brother just moved out to Colorado, so i've been visiting him a good amount. 2 years ago we did Jay Peak in VT and last year we did Breck, Monarch, and Loveland in CO.
