    I'll be making a few trips into NY to go Skiing with my buds this winter. And if I can afford it I'd like to go out West for a bigger challenge. It is always a good time, and this year it will be better since I'm legal to drink now! w00t

    I board and I can't wait for winter. I have grown up skiing but I switched to boarding a couple years ago. I'm thinking about taking skiing up again after I get a real job so my parents don't have to buy my equipment.
    My family has a house in Vermont thats like 15 min from Okemo mountain, so I go there a lot. After Christmas I'm going to Colorado though and boarding Copper and Keystone. I can't wait!!

    We usually go to the local mountains to Ski/Snowboard. I suck at snowboarding, so the entire trip is just me, falling down the mountain :lol:

    Haha last year's school ski trip has been a disaster for me. My friends dragged me along. It's lame. Because I grew up skiing too, switched to boarding two years ago so I wasn't really ready for the mountains. I chose to ski. I fell down / wiped out the most. I totally forgot how to do parallel and all I tried to do was either french fry down the mountain doing a pizza...or just....ROFL yeah.

    I remember we went to a blue hill called Wolverine. We had no idea there were tiny moguls. There was another skiier in our group, and we all suck with moguls. But they all tried, really slow. I took my skis off and slid on my ass down the moguls. Efficient :p

    I love skiing, but the winters in Finland have been sucky for a few years now.
    Skiing on mud isn't quite the same *sigh*

    For school we went to the snow last year. My first time ever. I enjoyed snowboarding. Was quite fun.
    But I'm glad it's almost summer here because that means I can go the beach everyday for surfing and spearfishing :D
