So you snowboard huh?  Where do you like to go?  I say if you plan to go this season we should all go together!  I was harrasing Andrew yesterday about snowboarding.  I am so desperate to go!  I was looking up prices to see what would be the best deal.

    BIP, if you consider the bunny slopes snowboarding, I snowboard too. Smile

    So we'll make it a group event!  Actually I plan to be on the bunny slopes a lot this season with Suraya and to figure out how to use my back rail.  I am great and using my front rail and can get down a mountain great on that rail but I need to learn teh back so my shins don't hurt so much.  i also need to learn to carve.

    I have only been to Snow Summit in CA. I used to go a bunch to a place called Wachusett Mountain just outside of Boston and Sunday River in Maine. Do you have any suggestions on where to go out here? DH is taking a "sick day" this week to go to Mammoth which I hear is decent.

    Jojo- bunny slope totally counts :)

    Andrew and I wanted to go to Mammoth for Xmas weekend.  he loves it out there.  We ran into a problem...the dogs.  Anyone know of any boarding places? 

    I've been to Snow Summit and Mt. High.  I prefer Mt. High, at least the first part of Mt. High you get to first.  It's not very crowded.

    So when's our sick day?

    I like the idea of a place that isn't crowded. I get so mad when the slopes are packed. It makes me nervous because thats how I broke my tailbone so I start to panic and worry that I am going to get hurt again

    OUCH!!!  I am really cautious about snowboarding and don;t go too fast.  I'm scared of getting hurt. The first time I tried I swore I broke my butt too.  I wasn't able to stay up for more than 6 seconds.  It hurts so bad falling!  Now I can get down a mtn without falling but I need lots of practice to look cool doing it!

    Hahahaha! I actually like going slow(er) than most people. I'm sure I look dorky but oh well. I have fun. Its just so relaxing to me and it's such a good workout. How long do you usually go for?

    We buy the 8 hour tickets.  We usually stay longer than 4 hours.  4 hours just isn't enough and it's only like $5 more for the 8 hour.  I am always scared of falling off the lift.  I still can't get that part right.  SOmetimes I'm good and other times I fall.  I probably look retarded riding my front rail all the way down.  This means my butt is facing downhill most of the time.  Must be funny looking to others!

    I totally use my front rail way more too! I think its because I am so scared I am going to crash on my butt if I use my back rail. I had to sit on one of those stupid donuts for weeks because of my tail bone. SO EMBARRASSING! I do not want to do that again. It will even hurt when the weather is going to change. I feel like one of those old ladies that complains and makes some comment about the weather changing because of my bones
