Well we are looking at the chance of snow here in ND this weekend and there's already a 20" base at a few of the resorts in MT.

I've been snowboarding close to 10yrs now. I'm still just as excited to get out there and ride today as I was back when I started!

In February my hubby and I will be traveling to Japan to visit family and go snowboarding while we are there. It looks to be pretty adventurous. They don't have designated runs on a lot of those mountains. It's just a tram to the top and you pick your line down. On the resort websites they suggest having a pack with a thermal blanket, food and water, just in case you get lost. I'm pretty jazzed about it.

As for skiing, if you like it and are able to do well at it, I say stick with it. I wasn't one of those people. After three years of skiing I couldn't progress to save my life so I switched.
