yeah, blue mtn and mt st. louis are about both about 1hr drive away, and are decent...
i've been skiing since i was 7, i kinda wanna go for something different now so i'll try out snowboarding... everyone that has tried it said it was way better than skiing...
does anyone know if the season has started yet? i thought i heard on the news that it snowed in barrie last week |

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 to do over the holidays |

i might try it this winter if i go on the bunny slopes only tho :D |
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 ! 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... |
