I will start this thread.

I am 24 years old, live in Toronto Canada.

I grew up in Regina, Saskatchewan (where there is a ton of snow) so naturally i have gone both skiing and snowboarding.

I'm still a beginner snowboarder, but hope to learn lots at Snowboarding Forum :D

First post here. Might as well follow tradition and post in one of these :p.

I'm 18 years old and a newbie. I'm from and live in Iceland, but lived in KS in the states for 6 years (not exactly the most mountainous state). I've gone boarding three times over the last 2 years. Would have gone more, but it's extremely expensive to rent a board and buy day passes here! Now I've bought my own and hope to go to the mountains at every possible opportunity.

I joined this site cause I was having a hard time finding boots :-/ But I am glad I joined.

I am from Rawley, NC (27) and have been riding for about 3 years. I don't board much on the eastside because I went west. My favorite spots are Winter Park, CO; Breckenridge, CO; and Copper, CO. My brothers live in CO so I would much rather fly out to see them and take them boarding with me than board out here. I would definitely like to check out Park City, Jackson's Hole and Steamboat Springs.

Hey, 32 residing in Charlotte, NC. I'm getting back into snowboarding after 12 years away. I lived in Seattle for a few years, and that's where I was introduced to the sport. My wife picked up a used Joyride board for me that needs some attention, but nothing major.

I hope to hit the powder in the next month or so.

Hello everybody. My name is Mike, and I'm a 25 year old newb. I started boarding last summer (4 times), and immediately fell in love. I kept borrowing friends' stuff, and never got the same gear twice, so learning was a bit of a challenge, since I got (sort of) comfortable on a board, and had to use a different one the next time. I recently bought my own stuff, so I'm hoping I will learn a bit quicker from here on out.

Whats up all, just joined up on the forum, im a 31 year old newb who shoulda started snowboarding years ago. Better late than never i guess, lol.

Ive only been boarding twice in my life before, so im really new to it. My brother sold me his board and bindings, 2008 K2 Anagram(158) and Burton Freestyle bindings. Bought some Burton 2010 Freestyle boots too. Just got it all about a week ago but still havent had a chance to hit the hills. Just been messing around in the yard, figuring out what stance to use and falling down and getting up, gliding and skating......just trying to get familiar with things before i go. Probably grab a private lesson when i do go, for now just reading all i can and watching some things on YouTube......I must say i really liked SnoWolf's lesson videos, very easy to follow and learn from.

Ive been playing hockey for a long time and thought that might help me learn a bit quicker to snowboard but i can already see that snowboarding is a whole nother beast.

Great forum and glad to be here. :)

That's what I thought too. It's a whole different ball game, though. I think the thing I'm having the hardest time with is not being able to move my feet independently. Back in the day I thought skating would help with skiing too. I was wrong then too.

Back to Boarding!

Hi everyone I got got back into boarding after being away from it for 10 years. I'm 36 and located in Barrie Ontario Canada. I thought I would start off to get my legs back at SnowValley. I'm looking to get out and meet some other boarders. I can go to other resorts and stuff.

Just drop me a line if I can tag along

Thanks
Scott

Hey,

21 year old boarder for a couple of years, but still a rank noob. I didn't get my own gear until just last year... but due to an unfortunate accident I only used it about three times. Looking forward to getting out on the slopes this year, it's been far too long.

dropping!

Howdy y'all,

I'm a long-time lurker, first time poster. I'm a 26 year old dude from Pittsburgh, PA. I've been snowboarding five times, starting last season, and just linked my first carves yesterday at Hidden Valley. It felt great; I'm stoked to go again.
