I’m going snowboarding on Saturday! Yay! Can’t wait. Here’s where i’m going: [http://www.courchevel.com](http://www.courchevel.com) Been there like 4 times, haven’t been there for avout 5 years tho. The’ve opened a new snow park since I last went so I really wanna try it (never probably been to a snow park as i’v only been boarding for like 3-4 years). Anyone else keen on snowboarding? ---

Im a skier, though I like to do tricks/jumps and go down snowparks. I’d say im a skier with a snowboarde mentality:P ---

I used to ski, I started when I was like 8 but stopped doing it and took up snowboarding. It’s way cooler 😛 ---

nah, snowboarders are always sitting on their butts on the side of the mountain. I don’t think that’s cool. Skiing is way better:P ---

I have always wanted to learn snow boarding but I was told it is hard to learn if you know how to ski? Is it? I haven’t skied in 3 years and snowboarding looks like a lot of fun; there is a small ski resort in my area and there are always snowboarders on the mountain. ---

I tried snowboarding once, it was really tuff to get a hang of. Now i wakeboard so I think if I went again I would do a lot better. ---

Pffttt, snowboarding is waaayyy cooler, skiing is for people over 40 😛 Snowboarding is piss easy to pick up, I learnt it way faster than skiing. You just fall over alot :moustache ---

lol, you can do just as cool of tricks on skies as on snowboards, you just don’t see people doing them often. Grabs, spins, flips, iron crosses, etc. ---

Grabs, spins, flips, iron crosses, etc. Yeah I know, but I don’t think they look as cool :moustache @ kantaman - Yeah me neither, no snow in England, you can’t ski/board here. The closest for me is Scotland but it’s pretty crap up there compared to the Alps. ---

The closest for me is Scotland but it’s pretty crap up there compared to the Alps. :lol: Tricks look _N_ times better on skis. If you think skiing is for people over 40, wake up and rent some of Warren Miller’s latest films. (Journey and ColdFusion are both really good) -Bigmtnskier (a proud supporter of skiing, hence my username) ---

I saw the HD trailer for Higher Ground, looked pretty sweet. I just added those two to my Lovefilm list 😉 I didn’t mean it literally lol, I started skiing when I was 8 and loved it until I got into snowboarding (well I still like it but much prefer snowboarding). ---

I could go to Canada but it would cost a fortune and it would have to be longer than a weekend!! I didn’t know you could ski in Scotland?:hoser: :hoser: ---
