Fernie British Columbia. The powder bowls are amazing. Lake Louise Alberta is ok too.

I snowboarded when it was the in thing to do. Im kinda fat so it was really hard for me to pick up on.

By the time i finally got good at it, everyone else had moved on. And its no fun being fat and snowboarding by yourself...

I snowboard whenever and wherever I can, ski hills and regular hills. In fact, there's this really big hill next to my house where there was a landslide a couple years ago that I snowboard on.

I've never even been to the snow!!!! :shock:

But I think Hotham is one of the more popular places to Ski in Australia.

It's the best in Victoria IMHO although Falls Creek is pretty good as well, my family has a chalet at Hotham which is lots of fun. Looks like it will be a good season too. :D

My favourite place would have to be Japan though, you just can't beat 12 metres of virgin powder.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I'm a snowboarder.
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

Eh, the last time I went to the snow, which was about 7 years ago, or more, I skied. And I love skiiing, though I've never tried to snowboard.

And Kat, don't bother sending snow to Debra, she lives in Brisbane, which is too humid to snow.

Hmm... Hotham I think is one of the best places in Australia.

There aren't really many places to go to the snow in Australia besides Victoria. Thanks kitty cat, but like Skittles! said, I live in a tropical state and the snow would just melt :( Although it isn't humid now that it's Winter, so you're welcome to try :wink:

Locally, the best place is Timberline or Ski-bowl, both on Mt. Hood, Oregon. Otherwise, you'd have to take a long road trip to Mt. Rainer near Seattle, or Mt. Baker further up or Mt. Bachelor down near Bend, Oregon. Few others that come to mind, only been to Mt. Hood though. I snowboard only when a) I can afford a two-day trip and b)when the season is right, meaning November to April around here.

I've been skiing just once--at Alta... in Utah.

It was mighty fun.

I ski, I would never switch though. I'm starting to get pretty good with the jumps, although the only trick I can do thus far is a tailgrab. It's hard to do tricks on skis...but when you can, its amazing.

Got a friend who skies. I board and he skies, shouldn't happen, I don't think, often. We both go when we can.

Maybe I'll buy some new gear for this coming season.

Keystone, Co is cool.


I like Deer Park, Utah as well.


The snow's really soft and doesn't hurt much at the slow pace I allow myself.
