Hi everyone. My name is Simon and I`m from Belgium. I have been snowboard for in total 6 weeks now, and I vistited this forum ALOT once I decided to take my snowboarding to the next level. That is learning how to jump, grab etc and not just boringly riding behind my friends (who are all skieers).

I have been around alot, so I know some of you already from the posts . I decided to get a registration on the forum, to say how mutch I love and how mutch of a help you guys have been (especially snowwolf). Hopefully my `brand new` experience can be of some help to some newbies too.

cheers and happy snowboarding!
Simon

PS: Thanks to your tips I learned a tailslide, FS/BS 180, indy and doing helicopters (not dificult lol). Many thanks for that!

Hello! I am 19 years old and I'm comming from Slovenia. I have been skiing for 8 years or so, but I decided to try snowboarding. My girlfriend has been snowboarding for 6 years and she is also snowboarding instructor now so she helped me learn. I am addicted now, evethough this is my first session on board. it is a lot of fun.

See ya!

Hello all the boarders from around the world!

I'm not only new to this forum but to Vancouver, where I live now, as well. I recently moved from the Netherlands to Canada to live my dreams. I've been snowboarding for more than 15 years now, and even went heli-boarding twice (Panorama and Golden). I might have been a 'pro-boarder' but since I had my back bone fractured in '98 I had to slow things down a bit. Snowboarding is one of the main reasons to move to Vancouver, it's a big step but it will be worth while.

Since I'm still searching for a job and I don't know anybody around here it's hard te get in contact with people, so I was wondering whether there're boarders in de Vancouver region who would like to take me to one of the ski resorts around here. If you would like to do so or just would like to know more about me, just sent me a message.

Cheers

I'm originally from Toronto, Canada but now reside in Sydney, Australia. I'm pretty ancient in that I've been boarding for about 17years from back in the day at Blue Mountain and even Glen Eden (shiver). My experience as follows: 2 concussions, 1 separated shoulder, 3 dislocations, numerous tree hugging incidents (only happpened in BC for some odd reason) and a kicker where I ended up in some womans lap while she was waiting in queue for the lift.

Hey to all.

I've been riding for about 2 seasons,but I go up a lot so I think I have a pretty good handle on it.Not into the super hard stuff or the park yet,but getting there.I live in Bellingham WA(about 1 hour west of Mt.Baker)so I have it pretty good.

Hey Heather and Becky,give a shout if you come up to Baker anytime soon.We ride there once a week(Thurs,Fri,or Sat).We are thinking of making a Stevens Pass run sometime soon now that the passes are back open(for now!!).Crazy snow this year,huh!

This is a really cool site...glad to be here.

Hey cool, nice to meet you! Haven't tried Stevens or Baker yet (we've been going to White Pass). How do you think they compare to White Pass for newbies?

Goat

Nice too meet you too.

I haven't been to White Pass yet,but want to check it out(maybe a spring ride).

I think Stevens might be a bit more "newbie friendly" as far as the runs go.Bakers green runs are pretty flat and there really are not that many(they are all kind of in the same little area).Most of the runs are blues,but they are not too bad.It's kind of easy/harder/easy thing,so it's a really good place to push your riding.

We went up to Baker yesterday and it was soooooo sweet!!!!It was sunny spring conditions with lots-o-powder left.Great riding.

Hope you got to go up this weekend,I think it was pretty sick everywhere.I'll give a shout if my buddies and I can get our crap together and organize a road trip
