Hey Guys,

Newbie here, All the way down under in Australia. I am moving over to Canada in October for the ski season at Silver Star Resort. Joined up to find out more information about snowboarding. Ive wakeboard the last 5 years so I kinda have a knowledge if they are similar style. So pretty keen to learn and buy my first board shortly and gaining advice from the members on here.

Thanks

What's up guys, my name is Tyler. I'm from SoCal. I've gone twice the year before, but this was my first real past season. I'm dying to get a taste of some real pow, so I'm hoping to hit up Colorado next season. Where's the best places? I use a K2 Turbo Dream 159, with the Auto Uprises and my boots are the Maysis. All K2 matching, cute right? haha but I actually just picked up a Lib Tech Attack Banana 156 which I'm pretty stoked to start using as a park dominate board and keepin the Turbo Dream for the pow days. Currently deciding on between the Rome 390 Boss or Union Asadachi, but i'll post about that in another section

Hi, Guys. I’m from Russia, Moscow. I’m 30 and sorry for my English.
I’ve been riding for couple of years. I had some sky experience before. But I have no idea where my skis are since I got on the board.
We have an artificial slope here, in Moscow. It is quite useful between seasons. That’s like a training hall. It helps to keep practicing and it saves from summer heat as well.
I visited Andorra two years in row, and I went to an Austrian glacier last October. Also I rode in Switzerland this march.
I ride libtech Phoenix Jamie Lynn at mountains and I also have a short twin tip Head for inside riding.
I’m stuck with Gnu bindings.
I'm looking for the next season trip.

Welcome! You're English isn't bad, better than a lot of people that have English as a first language...

Are there any mountains around Moscow or up north? I might be biased, but I'd say you've got to see the Canadian Rockies... The mountains are great, the season is long (okay maybe not as long as the Pacific NW in the states) the powder is dry and fluffy.

Enjoy the forum and the sport!

you're kidding )))

We have some hills around Moscow. they are guite groomed. But It's a kind of resort and it's mainly for sucking your money. And season is too short. So I prefer an artifical one It calls snejcom.

There are several slopes to south - east of Russia (Caucasian Black sea coast). You're know Olimpic games Sochi 2014. But there in no comparison with Alps resorts, at all.

You're right about canadian mounts and thanks for the invitation. I'm looking forvard to Whistler with the snowboaraddiction team. But it requires a lot of arrangements, visa, having vacation and all that things. However it's realy on my list of things to do.
