I'm 23. I started snowboarding in Colorado 2 years ago. It came to me rather naturally as I was boarding diamonds on my first day. I love it more than anything but I live on Long Island, no mountains anywhere around here. The best I get for practice is an old skate deck I use to board into an empty sump when it snows. As soon as I'm out of college and have a little money I'm gonna move to some mountains.

Welcome, and having just done exactly that after working a shitty office job for the first year out of college, I have to say DO IT!

Hey guys, I have been snowboarding for few years, skied before that (my parents fault)

I did a season in Big White 2 years ago and I am starting to get the itch again.. Gotta find some snow :-)

Oh and I live in Sydney, Australia. Not the snowiest place around, but there are compensations for that!

Hey everybody my name's Peter I'm from Ontario, been riding for about 9 seasons, but the last 4-5 season i've only been out 2 or 3 times... This year that all changed got myself a season pass to blue mountain and have been ripping like never before

made it out about 16 or 17 times already... I ride an older santa cruz board that i got on sale like 5 years ago.. it's a 168

lol.. love my burton mission bindings with the toe cap, love my burton snow suit helps me pick up snow bunnies and it zips in to act like a one piece (yea, effin' awesome)

I'd consider myself an advanced rider, really focussed on my switch riding this season and inheirantly the 1's and 3's... love the back country/ gladed runs although i hit a tree for the first time this year and messed up my leg, but all better now...

Hey, I'm from NY. My day job is software engineer for a financial software provider in Manhattan. I went snowboarding years ago with my brother for the first time and it sucked (didn't learn a thing and just tumbled down the mountain). The 08/09 season was my first real season and when I fell in love with snowboarding. I enjoy all sorts of the riding and their challenges... mountain riding, tree lines, park riding, jibbing... I've enjoyed them all and hope to progress in each. I'm 23 and currently ride a Forum Division with Burton Custom bindings. Can't wait for next season...

Hey guys!

Ronak from Mississauga, Ontario here. I'm usually hitting up Glen Eden, Mt. St. Louis Moonstone or Blue Mountain. Give me a shout if you want to board! I'm rocking a Dynastar Definitive 154 cm board with Ride Delta MVMT bindings. Loving my Salomon Dialogue boots (So comfy).

Thanks for having such a great forum!
