I'm new. I am 23 and I live in Canada. I finally could afford to buy my own board and bindings, I am so excited to use them. I havent been snowboarding on any 'big' hills just small ones up north at my parents house. Anywho, I am hoping to learn alot.

Thank you!

You may have better luck going to the Western U.S. in Colorado or Utah. The end of March is kind of late in the season for VT; it might be OK but it might be awful with rain and very warm temperatures, too.

yeah, they had a decent year for snow in vt, but if days like today are a hint for the rest of the month, not looking like a great time to ride. calling for above zero for the next while.

i'm sure you'll still have a good time. welcome all.

I've been riding for over 20 years, thought I try on-line snowboarding. I use my mouse with my right hand, does that make me regular or goofy?

After having a record amount of snowfall for Feb. all this week we've had temps in the 50's with hit and miss rain. The local bump has shut down during weekdays for "snow conservation mode". Forcast is calling for thunderstorms this weekend too. Beautiful.
