Where are(have been) you guys going skiing/snowboarding this year, if you plan to?

How was the snow?Do you ski or snowboard?Do you take the whole family?Do you think skiing sucks? snowboarding?How long have you been going?

I have been skiing/snowboarding since I was 7. My first time was at Red River Arizona. This year I'm going to Copper Mountain in CO over presidents weekend and Crested Butte CO over spring break. I cant wait to use my new Burton BMC

Hey its the middle of winter yall!

i would really really like to go to CO somewhere and board, but its a long way. i've been to Paoli Peaks only once, and that is my only time to ski. it was much easier than i thought, and i did much better than i thought. so next time i go i want to board, which would be at least somewhat of a challenge. on ski's, i was jumping and junk by the end of the day, and landing pretty well. i can't wait to go again, its just kinda expensive

I have been snowboarding twice and went for the first time when I was 11 and for the second time whn i was 13, and that was in North Carolina somewhere. I went with some friends, and yes i really suck at snowboarding. The snow was horrible both times and was overcast with a little bit of ice and rain that was drizzling with gust of extremely cold winds.

CO is awesome! So many mountains, so little time. I've driven out there from L. A. 4 times just for the snow. I have a cousin who lives in Frisco, which is kind of at the base of Breckenridge. Haven't been anywhere this season, but hope to soon.

I have skied since I was 3 years old. I grew up about 10 minutes from Killington, the largest ski resort in the north east, so it was an every-day thing for us. I raced for 4 years. I snowboard on occasion, but I prefer skiing by far. I have not had the pleasure of skiing out west, but maybe someday.

This year has been killer in the northeast... we have more snow than we've had in years... and the conditions rock!!

During Christmas break me and my family went skiing in Vail, Colorado. The snow was great, we got alot of powder while we were there. Ive been skiing in Colorado / Utah 2 weeks out of the year for 15 yrs. I go to paoili peaks occasionally, and I dont like snowboarders.

Oh come on! Snowboarders Rock on! haha I stay in the park (terrain) mostly or some double blacks

lets see I've been too winter park, keystone, red river, breckenridge, beaver creek, vail, crested butte (4 times), and copper mountain.

I also experienced a concussion last year and cracked my expensive helmet pretty badly. needless to say I'm glad I just had to get a new helmet and not a new head!
