Sit. Turn on snowboarding video. Watch. Sleep. Dream snowboarding.

I wish there was more I could do. No tramp or anything. Might invest in a longboard next year though.

Well I could see how they'd be a good workout and what not.
I don't see hours of fun on one of those though lol

I'm a cruiser on the snow, so I'm just getting in the gym doing lots of balance and leg workouts on the jelly half domes to get my tendons and muscles readys for the winter.

I'm also going to yoga which has really helped my back and knees from old injuries.

I think just being in standing shape when the season hits will help.

I like the idea of a balance board...might have to look into that.
