Maine- Sunday River and Sugarloaf!

I'm a ski instructor in Minnesota (I live in Minneapolis), where we don't have mountains. I teach at Afton Alps, and my ski instructor friends and I go on trips together. I've been to Colorado a couple times and loved skiing at Arapahoe Basin. I also went to Austria once and skied at Kitzbühel, which was quite an adventure! This year I'm going to Utah in January. So excited!

OMG a ski/snowboard group -- I am SO excited!!! AND another person from UT, nice!

I'm a CA transplant that moved to UT a few years ago (going on 4, in April). My life has CHANGED since I moved out of CA, and I'd say for the better! I never learned to surf in the 10 years I spent in San Diego, so when I moved to UT, the first thing I vowed to do was to learn to snowboard -- which I did. And I have LOVED IT! I LOVE the snow! I try to get out to the hill any time I can. It helps that I have a bf who drives a truck , and he's been skiing 30+ years. (He couldn't convince me to go that route though ... I was bound and determined to learn snowboarding because I had a horrible time on skis years ago.)

i'm from the UK!

i board mostly in France but hoping to go to the USA next year perhaps.

Hi everyone!

I'm from Austria! I'm skiing since I'm three years old or so! Can't imagine a life without skiing, although I don't have enough time for skiing. Have been to a lot of different places in Austria.

I'm from Eastern Ontario so mostly ski in tha Laurentians though we try to hit some of the nothern states a few times a year. We try to get to the slopes most weekends.

Hi everyone!! Im new to the group, but I am from beautiful Colorado! I love snowboarding. Its a great activity to get in shap and burn those calories! Needless to say i have not been since the 09/10 season since I had my youngest in the middle of last season. I am excited to get going this year!

i'm from new york!!

HI! My name is Jessica, and I snowboard wherever there's snow! Haha. I live in Indiana, which means I have to travel at the very least 2 hours just to FIND a resort worth shredding, but I look forward to moving in a couple years to the big mountains [i.e. I have my sights set on Utah]. I bounce around from resort to resort and also spend some time just street shredding in the local parks here. The nice thing about going to resorts is almost everyone in the Midwest resorts also travels, so it's easy to make snow pen pals. I work a day job and train as a ballroom dance instructor and hope to spend the rest of my life dancing and snowboarding. I couldn't think of anything better. If anyone wants to add me, feel free to do so! I am currently working my *kitten* off to get conditioned and properly trained for snowboarding and have so far trimmed 22.5 pounds off my body. If you need a good motivational and supportive friend who is also passionate about snow sports, count me as your mfp shred buddy!

I am Stephanie, 44 years old and from Red Mountain, BC. I have been to over 40 resorts in my life, Red is the worst.

I am from New York and I grew up loving the snow! My family and I would go skiing and snowboarding ever since I was an infant. Now, I'm trying to get my husband and kids into it. My only problem is that I have let myself get so out of shape that this previous winter I barely lasted the day snowboarding. I had to take so many breaks just to catch my breath. Hopefully I'll get back into shape and return to Colorado where I had to ski down Aspen mountain because they didn't allow snowboarders at the time! Snowboarding internationally is a huge dream of mine! I only hope and pray that will happen!!!

From (Northern) New Jersey as well!!! Board mostly Stratton (VT), Windham (NY) in winter, but I find myself out in Jack Frost, Big Boulder, Blue Mountain (PA) sporadically. Last year I took a trip out to CO and boarded Mary Jane, Copper Mountain, Loveland, and made some of my own freshies off the side of the mountain/road.

Since I skied for ~12 years, and have boarded for ~12 years, I find I'm an nontraditional boarder. I love moguls, woods, powder, and racing friends (not formal competition), but once in a while, its nice to just hit some jumps. Rails are not my thing, fell once, that's it.

Hoping to head out to BC/CO/UT/MT or somewhere this year. If anyone has any ideas for places relatively close to an airport, since its an often overlooked sunk cost, please contact me!!! I need to find a place in the next month or so to book. I was interested in Heliboarding, so any experience with that would be great incite as well.

I'm from Nor Cal, and grew up skiing at Tahoe. Ten-year transplant to the la area, and now I'm living 45 minutes from Mountain High. Not the most awesome skiing in the world, but at least it's close and if I feel the urge to get a run in after work I can do it without getting back home at 3am!

I'm from Seattle. Have a cabin at Stevens Pass and ski there every single weekend from open to close. Absolutely love the mountain life.
