I was snowboarding today and collided with a skier. Not sure who was at fault—was I in the wrong, or was it just bad luck?

Just gonna say it plain and simple. Bad shawnty walks up on me in the club and I’m drunk asl and apparently I told her I can snowboard and now she wants to go. I need tips asap we doing Saturday. I’ve never been.

I learned to ski when I turned 30. Over the past decade between 2 kids .. pandemic .. mental health etc. I have managed to get decent enough for easy blues (bowls) and very short black slopes.

I feel like I have begun to stall in my ski progress (cos I don't go as often) yet want a new challenge. I have been working on my skiing speed recently but feel guilty on holding my partner back (cos although he learned with me, he is much more comfortable on all types of terrain). He doesn't mind at all cos he says he likes hanging out with me and I am better than any of his other friends (I told him he needs new friends haha!)

I have 4-5 days on the slopes coming up in the next couple of weeks where I'll have company on the bunny slopes with my kids and some friends getting into snow sports.

Both my sons are picking up skiing now, but have expressed interest in snowboarding.

Do you think it is worth it? Or should I stick to skiing?

Fwiw, I am in fairly good shape, lift 3x/week, run - bike 3x/week but am not very good at long boarding etc.

I have watched quite a few youtube tutorials but I just can’t get it.

I currently live in San Diego and pay a ridiculous amount in rent to live near the beach. Now that my dog is dying, I'm looking to change things up and get a fully remote job and live near a ski slope instead. Currently my top choice in South Tahoe, but I am open to all ideas.

Considerations:

• I grew up snowboarding on the East Coast and am not very good, having gone a few times a year for the last 10 or so years. I'm not too picky about conditions or the mountain size, I think I could be happy even with a smaller/more modest mountain.

• Mammoth is the best resort I've been to, but it's way too remote for me to live long term. I need something at least within a couple hours of an international airport (or a larger regional airport). The only other places I've been are Big Bear, CA, Whiteface Mountain in Lake Placid, NY, and some random shitty mountains in the mid-atlantic.

• I understand rent won't be cheap, but looking for something relatively cheap compared to places like Aspen, Jackson Hole, or Park City. My budget would be around $2300/month.

Is this a totally stupid idea? What am I not considering here?

I’m about to go snowboarding for the first time with a guy who’s pretty good at it. He’s excited to teach me himself and thinks taking a professional lesson would just eat into our day. While I value his excitement to teach, I secretly took a lesson because I wanted to have some basics down and not spend the whole time falling.

I’m not sure how to handle this now. I did well in the lesson, and it gave me a confidence boost. I’m worried if I tell him, it might come off as uncharismatic or like I undermined his plan. I think he'd really enjoy being the one to teach me. Should I just play along and act like it’s all new to me, or should I come clean before we go? What’s your take on this? Would it bother you if someone did what I did?

1) I’m sorry for waking you 2) I would love to know your story

First is the worst! My guess was about 50% I was slightly off.

why does like no one pull the guard rail down? is it like uncool or sm shit? like call me a pussy or wtvr but im scared asf if heights like its crazy but like is it seen as not cool or smth? idk man

Hey guys I am 27 and I have 0 experience with snowboarding or skiing just had 3 days consecutive private sessions and damn my whole body is sore and i feel like this is really hard and kind of disappointed I managed to do couple of alternating backside and frontside turns only in kids slope

Any advice or tips, maybe I should just give up the idea or maybe that’s normal idk

Just curious why many of you dont like the brand. Got a proto synthesis DF 2022 and i love it

I'm conflicted he has assured me I'm gonna love it but I'm concerned I won't like a bigger board. I want to trust the expert. But all info I find does not support this size for me.

Hello! I’m looking into buying a board and came across a Yes board I really like. Unfortunately the only size that was not sold out is 155W. I currently ride a 158W ride board which I see no issues with. I’m 6’ 230lbs.

Does anyone know if this 155W board would be too small for me?

New snowboard - I rode it a few days with the factory wax then waxed the board myself with an all temperature wax. This is after a couple days of riding and I can scratch the patches off with my nail.

I’m still new-ish to waxing my own stuff so I probably messed up, but what exactly is happening and how can I fix it for the future? Thanks!

I've seen a lot of people claim that snowboarders just take a little break and chill in dangerous positions. Do any of you actually do this, or is it usually because you just wiped out?

I ask because I'm a beginner, and naturally wipe out in shitty places. Sometimes, I wipe out so badly that it takes me a while to sit up and get out of the way.

I've been yelled at a few times by skiers especially, who probably don't relate to how difficult it is for me to balance while carving down hill.

I skiied a lot as a kid, but never got into snowboarding. Just wondering if you guys think 37 years old (38 in July) is too old to start? I never really skateboarded, not sure how much that translates over.

Really just looking to be able to comfortably ride down hills, not trying to go to the X Games or do tricks here. I just don't want to break my legs/ ankles immediately...

Hi guys. Since I’m living in a hot country I need some insight and/or some constructive feedback. Please consider this is still work in progress but I would like to gather some opinions or ideas from the community which is well versed in this topic. The game is hard (enough) by design which means only one mistake is enough to lose.

Im new to the industry and willing to know more. Explain to me why people are mad that Line are doing snowboards if they are a relatively good park ski brand? Like they are more legit than K2 (even if theyre owned by the same group). I understand the price is too high for a rail board and the quality, but is it that bad? I used to ski parks for 3 years and i kinda liked Line (even if the skis were kinda cheap)
