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

hi..im a new snowboarder

Hi everyone. Im from ON, Canada. Officially, i tried snowboarding 2 years ago but gave up because I spent more time on my behind than actually snowboarding..which led me to switch to skiing. HOWEVER, just this past December my friends and I took snowboarding together and I really enjoyed it! The difference was..I took my time (and sometimes by myself) learning the basics. Now i can't wait to go back.. Im hoping to also buy my own gear anytime soon. Hopefully, you guys can give me advice on my posts, etc. Well thanks. :)

Hi I am Ryan aka Trigger Lowry. I am 24 years old and I reside in Philadelphia PA where i serve as a police officer. I have been snowboarding since I was 11 off and on but now for the past three years I go about 5-7 times per season. I love it a lot next to riding my motorcycle. I have a 2009 technine split T camo board 153cm with Flow NXT ATSE antti autti series bindings and love them. Give me a shout.

Hi everyone. 24 from Chicago here. I'm not a new snowboarder, have been doing it recreationally(spelling?) for about 10 years now, only a few times a year. 19 and earlier I had snowboarded much more and was a little more serious then, but my daughter was born when I was 20 so don't have the time or money like I used to. When I was 17 broke my collar bone a second time snowboarding.

Me and a buddy always go on a weekend ski trip to Devil's Head in Wisconsin (yeah yeah, it's no Colorado, but it's still a good time) and we're heading out next weekend. :D

Well, anyways, seems like a great community and happy to be here.

Hey everyone!

I'm 34 and currently live in Omana, NE. Grew up in London ONT where I started skiing at around age 10! I first tried snowboarding when I was about 18 and was hooked. Bought a Liquid 142 board with Liquid alum. bindings. I rode probably 10 times a season or so for several years.. had an ex girlfriend sell all my stuff b/c I left it there to long and stopped riding for awhile. Finally got new stuff a few years ago and managed to get out a few times!! I'll be headed out tomorrow for the first time this year and am REALLY excited even if the weather is crappy haha. Going to this place called Mt. Crescent... a little bit higher than the place I learned to ski in London but it isn't spectacular I've been told. Don't care, just excited to put the board on snow.

Hey

I'm 21, been riding since about '04. Been to Cali,Colorado, and Utah. Don't get to ride much, but I try and go as much as I can. Just got back from a trip to Winter Park. Loved it! I am a decent rider, but just love to ride. Snowboarding is one of my passions, and could do it every day if I could. I don't have expensive gear because of the lack of going, but looking to upgrade in the near future.

Hello

I'm Rochelle in Bellingham WA and frequent Mt. Baker and sometimes Blackcomb. I started riding in '93 I think. I'm 47. I enjoy the b/c using a split board. Always looking for partners who like the double blacks and powder.

Hi, I am 30 and Ive been riding for 3 years. This is the first year I've really been serious about progressing, and Im taking a set of lessons to help me with that. Im halfway through and making huge progress. My husband and kids ride with me, and Im slowly convincing some of my girls to give it a shot too. We don't live far from the mountains so we often ride Marmot, Lake Louise, Kicking horse, and my favourite... Sunshine Village.

Hello all!

I've been snowboarding for almost three years now and I'm hooked, so much so that my girlfriend thinks I spend more time on the mountain than I do with her. I really wish that I'd been introduced to the sport sooner, I live in the Seattle area and don't know how none of my friends or family were not into snow sports. I've checked this site out a couple times over the past few days and decided I had to become a member. These forums are great, I love the wealth of information and friendly people here.

Hi, im 19 and im a freshman at a cmmunity college by me. I live in s/e michigan and ride at alpine valley. I've only been to brighton once and i thought it was tiny. I went to boyne once and i liked the powder but the pipe had either tiny rails or rediculously huge jumps and a giant pipe. I've been riding for 10 years and have been getting better in the park the last few years. I ride a 156 burton custom with triad bindings. I wear all oakley gear because i used to work there and got stupid deals on it. I love oakley goggles and glasses. I ride about 6 days a week and am an instructor at alpine.

Hi, I'm over 35, a female, living in Toronto. I started snowboarding in Jan this year. When I sweat at the top of the hills and the cold breeze blow over to my face and body, it feels great like having a great beer. I'm practicing turns now. Have the common problems of swifting linking turns to pendulum. Hope that I could get over it before this season is over :)

I'm Larry from southeastern michigan. Just got into the sport a few weeks ago and love it! I kinda crossed over from summer sports so i'm really liking doing something in the winter. I've hit the hills a few times this past week, and now that the weather is cold again, I hope to ride later this week too. I'm going to cali for spring break and plan on hitting up mt high. I look forward to learning and using info from this site to progress my skills and contribute whatever I can.

Hey everyone

I'm Aaron,

New Boarder

Hello all - I'm Jeff, Chillicothe, OH. I am a new to snowboarding (Dec 2009). I started in Breckenridge and fell in love with the sensation of gliding down the hill. I have been boarding at Mad River Mountain (Ohio) and I am scheduled for a trip to Big Sky, MT at the end of Feb, 2010. I ride a Burton JoyStick (163 cm) with Burton Boots and Bindings. So far the board works for me.

Well new to snowboarding last year.... But have been skiing since I was 11.... I am a better skier but enjoy Snowboarding more. I have ski'd in the Italian Alps. It was on Mount Cervinia. The backside of the mountain was the swiss side. What a great time that was. Other than that I mainly ski'd the east coast Seven SPrings, Wisp, Snoshoe and another I cant remember the name of. I have snowboarded at Snow Valley(Season Pass) and Mt High. I got my 7 and 6 year olds and my wife going with last year and the 6 and 7 picked right up on it and have a great time. The wife was a little slow and now is missing this season due to pregnancy. I am possibly moving to Hawaii in the summer for my next duty station so I may be out of the sport for a few years....but I will return again....

Love the forum and got alot of info from here already.

I ride a older Gnu 151 board with Burton Boots and Bindings.

Oh yeah....going to SV on Saturday and Mammoth on the 11th-13th
