/sacrilegeLast year, I moved to California, and I've gone snowboarding several times out here since. It's crazy that you can be at the beach, drive three or so hours and be in the mountains snowboarding. While I'm out here I'm trying to take advantage of it!
If you HAVEN'T snowboarded before... or even skiied... it's not too late! I didn't strap on a board until last year (I'm 27), and even though I was covered in bruises after three days of falling down a mountain covered in cement-hard, icy snow, I couldn't stop thinking about the next time I could go back. Heh, I was so bruised up and sore that I ended up stuffing a towel into my snowpants to shield my rear, and wrapped extra socks around my elbows and knees. Despite any of that, though... when you start to "get it," it's just awesome.
So, any snowboarders around?

But seriously, in Oregon we have two great Ski mountains, Bachelor and Ashland. I went to Shasta once, that was pretty groovy, but I think I was 8? or so.

And, Svevan, you also F4IL because snowboarders are more extreme than skiiers. XTREME!1 We're so XTREME that we don't even need that first e.
In actual snowboarding news, I bought a board and bindings yesterday! Whoever hasn't realized the sheer joy that is Craigslist has not truly lived.
