I've Been Skiing/Snowboarding But Don't Anymore

I've Never Been On A Chairlift...

As the snowy season in the northern hemisphere continues, I was wondering how many of us take advantage of all of this magical white powder. So, do you ski or snowboard? Are you any good? Are you better than Elizabeth Swaney?

    • None of the above. I haven't snowboarded or been snow skiing, but I can water ski pretty well. I have been on a chairlift before; I visited a ski resort in the summer and I took a chairlift up a mountain and rode my bike down it.

    • Well last time we had snow in my area was 6 years ago. And I didn't really visit that many snowy places. [spoiler]we might get some tomorrow though.[/spoiler]

      • I've been snowboarding for 7 years now (maybe longer) i'm decently good, though i just started doing park stuff. I primarily do alpine/downhill boarding. I'm good enough to do Double Blacks all day long. I have not done a Double Black EX yet. (which i plan on doing next available opportunity i have) i've gone around of 60 MPH before and i really enjoy going fast. my current board is a [url=https://whitelines.com/snowboard-gear/reviews/snowboards/burton-custom-flying-v-2016-2017.html]Burton Custom Flying V (2016-2017) [/url] and i love it. It's a beautiful looking board and has done well by me.

        • I wish I could ski. Never been before, but if I had the ability/money I'd be on the mountain as much as possible. I'm mainly interested in freestyle, which is why I say skiing over snowboarding. I love the style elements that skiing brings that snowboarding doesn't, like nosebutters and crossing skis. [spoiler]I've been into action sports since I was a kid. Just never had the athletic ability.[/spoiler]

            I've been snowboarding for about 15 years now, and I still try to go every year. I've entered one competition but constant injuries have put an end to my competitive career for now. It's still super fun but really takes a toll on your body. I don't know if I can compete with Swaney, I mean she did make it to the Olympics after all.

                • I made a thread on who watches winter Olympics and no one cares about them. I even asked my friends about them and NO ONE watches them. I snowboard and ice skate so I watch everyday.
