Alright, so winter is coming up here in America, so im preparing for the ski season here in Utah


So are you a skier or snowboarder? And feel free to post your favoritte mountain to ski!


I'm a skier (obviously) and my favorite mountain to ski is Alta, Utah. I also like Snowbasin.

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.

ive never been to Canada to ski, so i wouldnt know

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

I was talking aboot Vancouver BC eh? >.>

argh, im tired

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

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.

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

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.

You need to have sledding on here.

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

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/

I've skied since I was born basically, but I snowboarded for about 4-5 years when I was somewhere between 9 and 16 but still remained predominantly a skier, snowboarding was mostly just a social thing if I wasn't there to race and just was hanging with some friends at the hill since at the time, and still now, people seem to view snowboarding as being "cooler." I guess its because its more like skateboarding and it has more functions than skiing in terms of vert tricks and its also a lot easier to be an impressive snowboarder than an impressive skier. Plus the boots are more comfortable too unless you want to buy some high quality stuff. I raced until I was 15 and haven't really gotten out onto the slopes as much as I wish I could (only about 5-8 times the past 3 years) recently since I stopped racing. Doesn't help that the closest hill to my place is a glorified bunny hill though...

I ski because I'm not some punk. But to cement that i'm not a so called "stiff" i ski naked.

ive skied there a couple times, good mountain to ski. Lots of acres to ski on


..although The Canyons is still the biggest resort

What is this i dont even...

Skis are faster than boards and therefore better.

I personally like skiing in Austria.

Switzerland is nice for skiing too. And it's also neutral in wars!

Snowboard FTW!!! Get your slow, pheonix manouver, slope hogging, skiing butt out of my way!

Favourite place has to be, Val D'Isere, French Alps. Lived there, worked there, rode there!

I like skiing in Thredbo.. namely because its the only place I've ever been skiing

Snowboarders make longer turns, therefore snowboarders are the SLOPE HOGGING people.

TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha in your faces, snowboarders!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So not truth, it's you damned skiers using all the slopes, I make very small turns try and keep it nose down as much as possible, no messing.

Oh and ski schools!!!! ARGH!!! like a big snake of rubbishness snaking across the slope!!

Skiers are just jealous that we have comfortable gear and can just chill out on the side of the slope without looking like numptys

how bout' all those snowboarders that are sitting on the slope ALL THE TIME



Im sure you learned how to snowboard in a ski school....and if youre so experienced like you say you are, why are you snowboarding where the ski schools are?!?

How about an option for both. I always brought my ski's and my board to the mountain and would switch up during the day.

Nothing wrong with sitting all the time, as long as you're not in the middle of the piste, anyone who does that needs a damn good smack!

I didn't learn in a ski school actually I'm self taught. Don't know if you've been the the French Alps, but unfortunately the damn ski schools seem to go just about everywhere except blacks, and alas few places have black runs right up to the door of your chalet.

Skier, although its only fun when I'm in the bowls out west.

Any specific place out west? Colorado, Utah, Wyoming?

Voted snowboarder because I am more interested in snowboarding.

I live in Colorado, and have never done either. Imagine that.
