mmmmm skiing...i used to ski/snowboard like twice a week....after 2 knee surgeries i'm a little nervous....maybe i'll have to go out this year and see what happens

Snowboarding is a fuckin blast. I love it. I didn't get a chance to go last year because none of my friends wanted to go

hmmm... blue mountain is right outside my window

I haven't gone snowboarding for almost 10 yrs. My crew and I were hardcore, went up north and went into a valley ... start to chops trees down and build some nice hand rails and jumps.

It's fun, but as a pro sport ... a real man skateboards!

I'll come if I don't have much shit to do over the holidays

I GOT MY SEASONS PASS FOR BLUE MOUNTAIN

I Will be on the hill at least twice a week between dec 18 and jan 10

Outside that window ill be there once every two weeks( GOT TO LOVE SCHOOL )

I'm definitely up for it.

went skiing twice last yr. I would have gone more often if my friends were into it.

if you never did either, I would suggest trying snowboarding.. it's much easier to learn and you can start having fun right away..

I learned to ski when I was 7 and was skiing regularly until I decided to give snowboarding a try at 16.. and since I went skiing only a few times, sold my ski equipment and I loooooooooove boarding..
But I'm not sure about going.. cause I hate Blue Mountains (mountains? what mountains?), though I might.. after my exams and after my trip

I cannot ski for shit! Boarding? I'm willing to give it a shot...although I can see myself falling TONS of times on my ass, should still be fun...
