Just thought i'd start this thread to see who'll be hitting the slopes soon and where at? I got my season's pass to
Schweitzer Mountain Just the past 72 hours they recieved nearly 5 ft of snow 57". They plan to open on wednesday. I plan to go up right away after finals are over next week.

Snowboarding is my life in the wintertime.
Flying out to Jasper to hit Marmot Basin with some friends on the 14th, after my last exam. They've been open since November 16th, hopefully they get some more powder while I'm there.
Vertical drop of 914 m and 678 hectares of area make it by far the biggest mountain I'll have been on.
I'm pumped.

I enjoy snowboarding too, but never get the chance to go out anymore... Ohio sucks.

We live slightly above Buffalo, NY.
Why every day is Skiing and Snowboarding everywhere for free in this part of the woods.
I really like it when the lake effect machine kicks in really good for those 14ft high drifts!

Your first time snowboarding will suck, it does for everybody.
Not really something worth taking up if you're only going to go out once or twice per year, you're better off skiing if you hit the slopes at that frequency.
