I do both, but I prefer to ski, seeing as they haven't tried to invent cross-country snowboarding yet.

I love Soldier Hollow for cross-country.

I have never tried cross-country, I've grown up downhill skiing.

Skier, although the hills where I live aren't deserving of the name. What's grandly termed as "black diamond" is what I would consider using as a warm-up.

Please note that I have been skiing once in the last two years, and consider myself no expert.

Cypress' tracks are pretty dope. Whistler's are really cool, but it's very expensive and far away. Ski, obviously. B)

Skier since age 6 or so. I don't think I'll be able to ski outside the Northeast this year.

Hill's don't really exist in Illinois. I guess sledding maybe.

[xoindotnler]

I'm very bad at both of them.

This dude knows what he's talkin bout. Though I don't snowboard much, I tend to ski more. I'm very good at cross-country skiing, and enjoy it quite a bit. Downhill skiing I enjoy, but I don't go enough to be good at it. I certainly don't know how to slow down.

Being your stereotypical Canadian child, I played a lot of hockey. Let me just say that there is almost no difference between stopping in skates and stopping on skis. Once I figured this out, downhill skiing became so much more enjoyable.

Never did much cross-country. Too much like work.

[dragonknight1000]

haven't done either one but I think snowboarding would be cooler (one of these days I can try it for myself )

[Hydro]

Skier but I've always wanted to try out snowboarding. Best mountains are probably Fortress, (<3 powder) Sunshine Village (goats eye is where it's at) and Nakiska, but only because it's so much closer than any of the other mountains (just a mere 5 hr drive away) although I've heard that Kicking Horse is pretty good and big white was kinda cool too.

[edikroma]

You need to have sledding on here.

[Andrew425]

I snowboard. Big white's a nice place, same with whistler.

[Pillihp]

I ski.

My favorite mountains, are

Killington, Vermont
Jay Peak, Vermont
Big Sky, Montana
Mammoth Mountain, California
Squaw Valley, California
Jackson Hole, Wyoming

So yeah, I get around alot.

I'm a girl, but, yes, I know what I'm talking about.

Cross-country's how I keep fit until lacrosse starts up again in spring.

First time I went skiing the first time I went down the non-bunny hill slope I got bumped from behind and fell. The left ski got stuck into the snow and decided that the emergency delatch thing shouldn't do it's job. Hurt like hell and I haven't gone skiing since, which is kind of funny because I live on the other side of a ski mountain http://www.skisundown.com/
