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

Welp, been posting on here for a month or 2 and just saw this thread lol. My name is Johnny and I've been snowboarding for 6 or 7 years. I ride at Stevens Pass usually and Rainier is my beer of choice! Mostly on here to get reviews on gear that I'm interested in buying. Anybody in the PNW need a touring partner?

Hi Everyone!

I am a skier convert too (better late than never, right?).. Made the crossover this year. I live in Atlanta, so only have some small "local" hills in W. North Carolina somewhat nearby, but that didn't stop me this year. I took my first lesson in Quebec in January and since then have continued learning on trips this winter to Austria, Utah, Banff, Japan (Niseko) Mammoth Mountain, CA and a couple of small hills in Minnesota! What a great snow year! I feel like I have made some decent progress getting down the hills (can do the Blues now..) but want to continue to progress and maybe even try the easier terrain parks soon. Headed back to Mammoth Mountain mid June to practice some more and to Chile in August after the snow gets going strong down there. Also can't wait until next winter up here again to hit my little local NC hills to practice some more. Look forward to learning a thing or two here too - Thanks!

John

Greetings

Hi,

My name is Gregory, I'm new to this forum, but not new to snowboarding.
Been teaching to snowboard for 5+ years in a snowdome, on local hills and in Alps.
I'm mostly into jibbing, but I come from an ISIA-compliant carving-oriented teaching system. Our head coach used to be into racing (yes, yes, the silly-looking people with (almost) ski boots). So he taught us a thing or two about carving.
There are no mountains in Lithuania which means pretty much no freeride, but I always say yes to white powder (not the drugs).

Anyways, hope to contribute to the forum.

Atlanta - Traveling Snowboarder!

Hi Guys:

I'm new here too... Made the switch over from the 2 planks this season after 25+ years and LOVE IT! Wish I had done it much sooner, (sigh..) Tried it for the first time in Quebec in January and took a lesson. Went to Japan also in January and tried it but was still in falling down stage so mostly skied over there, tried it again in Austria in Feb, but still was sitting more than standing, but then came back and went to Banff where I got to practice a few days in great conditions and it started clicking.. Then made it to Brighton in UT (another lesson), Back to Banff a couple more times and then to Mammoth in CA a couple of times to round out the year. Did all blues and a couple of (very) easy blacks in Mammoth in the nice soft snow and am ready to keep going. Unfortunately I live in the ski ghetto of the USA, so being able to go locally will be a bit of a challenge this season, as NC just ain't the best for snow, but I'll try it when I am not traveling somewhere better in the west or overseas.


Look forward to learning and contributing what I can here!

Hi, I from Missouri

Hi,

I like be called Dijaryl and I just became a snowboarding rookie not to long ago. I grew playing X-games on playstation and snowboard kids on N64. What peaked my interest about snowboarding is when I went into a mall in dubai that had a ski slope, and you can see that reunited the old flame. I been looking a snowboard equipment and its cross my mind to go to Utah for some snowboarding.:smile:

Hey guys! Just joined the forum, my name is Elijah, 21 years old, living just a bit south of Chicago, so I don't get to ride too often. But I am moving to Michigan soon, so I'll be able to ride a whole lot more. I've been riding for about 4 years and I am just itching to get back out on the snow. I've always used the forum as a way to get info and reviews about gear. My forgetfulness of usernames/passwords and just downright laziness have kept me from contributing to any threads, so I am hoping to do that now that I've linked this page with my facebook.
Cheers!

New

Hello there! New to this site and it looks like we are to introduce ourselves and read through a few other threads before making threads or anything so here it goes..

My name is Johnny Kruick and I ride at Stevens Pass, WA 99% of the time! Ride goofy and my board of choice is a Gnu Billy Goat 162. I'm on here for several things... get beta on gear and conditions in different regions and in general just talk snowboarding with like-minded people and hopefully in the process make some friends to shred with and maybe meet some touring partners. Definitely not the smartest cat on here but I will offer my input on things when I feel like it will help. Cheers guys!

Newbie to Mountain

Hi All,

I'm a snowboard newbie that just went through my first season of snowboarding, ever. I grew up in the Southeast of the US and moved out to Los Angeles this past year. Snowboarding was one of the first things I did outside of the city. I took a trip to Bear Mt. and got HOOKED. I feel like I progressed well last year and am committed to getting better this year. Got the season pass... LETS GO

That's where I learned to ride. Fun mountain. I want to go back next time I visit my family and see how it's changed. What part of LA did you move to?

Hi! I'm an old fogey (44), at least in terms of snowsports, but will be trying snowboarding for the very first time this year. My wife is a new(ish) skier so I figured it would be more fun if we were both learning something on the greens at the same time and I've been wanting to try boarding for a very long time.

We live in Bozeman, MT and will be spending our winter weekends out at Bridger Bowl.
