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

tugnuts - when you get a chance (and some spare change) spring for some new gear - even the entry level stuff is going to be hands-down waaaaay better than your 15yr old board :) the tech is sooo much better. boots stiffer but more comfortable and more responsive, bindings more comfortable/less pinching, lighter, etc. boards have more pop, more flex where you want it, etc. after you ride yours a few times, you'll appreciate the difference.

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.

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.

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.

Hello from Bounceboards

The Bounceboard is used by the United States of America Snowboarding Association for training and conditioning and is accepted by all major trampoline manufactures. This April 3 MTV will feature a Bounceboard on the show "Made". You can see some fine tricks on YouTube and by visiting our manufacturer website. Northshoreinc.com There are limitations to the benefits of training with a Bounceboard (R) but you wont hurt your oompa loompas, knock your teeth out or crack your head open and it is a lot of fun!:D

Hi everyone!
Last january I went to Aspen Snowmass for the first time. It was the best snowboard and snow parks Ive ever seen!!! Aewsome rails, tables and jumps... Altought I dont do the 40 f. jumps... I bought a go pro hd camera and made some sweet aspen snowmass park videos and images.
Another awesome thing was to legalize the elk gondola... lol
For who is interested to know a little about the parks there check out my video!

new member, longtime cali rider

whaddup everyone...

name's john. i'm 23 yrs old and been snowboarding going on 14 yrs now. grew up hitting the slopes in norcal but i've been living down in socal for the last 5 years. went to school at ucla and now i'm working at a satellite communications company in carlsbad (north county san diego, where shaun white is from :rolleyes:).

i joined the forum cuz i'm going back to school in september but before then i wanna take a trip to australia/new zealand for some boarding and i figured a forum might be the best place to get ideas.

my setup right now is a 161 k2 zeppelin, burton p1 bindings and some salomon boots. might be lookin to get a new rocker board soon and maybe some thirty two boots so pm me if you have any suggestions.

some of my favorite places to ride-sugarbowl, kirkwood, northstar, sierra at tahoe, mammoth...

if you're a norcal rider check out sentury snowboards, handmade boards out of reno.

guess that's it. looking forward to hearing from everyone

Hello from NJ

Hi everyone, I'm Jay from New Jersey.

I just took up the sport this past season at age 41. My wife thinks I'm crazy and often comments that "You're not supposed to be falling down so much at your age" but, bumps and bruises aside, it's been one of the most fun winters I have had.

I still suck and am surprised that I am able to do splits at my age as evidenced by every other time I come off of a chairlift, but thanks to reading a lot of stuff here, watching the how to videos and 2 lessons, I am able to sort of make what resembles turns. It is frustrating watching little kids zoom by you and being envious of kids having no fear, but hopefully by next year, I'll improve from horrible to just being a scrub.
