Default Another Noob ...

Hey Guys, just a quick intro:

Based on the ages I've seen mentioned in various posts here, I'm an old fart. I live in Tasmania (Australia), am a recent snowboard convert, but I've been skiing since I was 8. I've been to or through 30-odd U.S. states and parts of Eastern Canada. Most of my skiing experience has been local (in Tasmania), where the seasons are relatively short, and the runs even shorter. A couple of years ago I spent a week in Queenstown, New Zealand, and decided to try snowboarding for change ... and loved it. I doubt I will ever go back.

You'd be surprised how many times people say "where's that?"
