Conquer Club

Well...who here skis/snowboards?

Whats your favorite place to go?

Personally, Tremblant is my favorite.




P.S. Post # 500...yesss.

Not any more I quit skiing when I discovered boarding, now I'm old and poor.

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.

Favorite place to go in-state is Alyeska Resort which is in Girdwood, Alaska.

I ski, i love Sunday River in Maine, and ive always wanted to ski in the alps.

Swiss or french?

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!!!!

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.

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.

*sends a package of snow to debra*

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.

Im partial to Swiss, but either would be fabulous

I do everyday.. Keystone coloraado is my fav.

ive only been skiing once n the italian alps, i'm too poor to do it regularily but i got quite good at it. The view into the Aosta vally is amazing

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

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 board

and the best place near me is bristol, just a moderately small local hill
it has some nice runs though

but if want a little longer car ride, i can be at gore in about 2-3 hours

but the best place i have ever been would be steamboat colorado

love it there

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

It was mighty fun.

I want to snow board

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.

i ski, sunday river and sugar loaf mostly but the skiing out in Utah is amazing!

Lifelong skier. Love it!

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.
