Kaphias Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I know it's a bit early for most of ya, but it's already snowing up here, and I just couldn't resist... Do any of you ski? Snowboard? Or just sled? I started out snowboarding about 4 years ago, took 1 year off, and have been skiing for the last 2 years. The city that I live in has no roads out of it, but we are lucky to have one of the best small ski areas in the world. Actually, at one point last winter, we had the most snow of any ski resort in the world! Hoping for more of the great powder this year, I guess 40 feet just wasn't enough. :) 8,325th to 99 Firemaking 3/9/08 | 44,811th to 99 Cooking 7/16/084,968th to 99 Farming 10/9/09 | Runescaper August 2005-March 2010Tip.it Mod Feb. 2008-Sep. 2008 | Tip.it Crew Sep. 2008-Nov. 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craiglowery Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I learned how to ski and I didnt like it very much so I thought I might try out snowboarding. It was really hard at first but im a little better than when I started 2 years ago. But the only thing is that I can only go maybe twice a year because there arent any resorts for maybe 4-5 hours.

Nadril Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Snowboarding if I can. Never really get the chance to though, only time I did was when I lived in Europe. Hopefully I will get the chance this winter though. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klankaos Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I love snowboarding. Unfortunately, with hockey, I rarely have time to do it, but when I get out I get out for a long time. I'm taking a year off hockey next year to snowboard more (my parents are gonna buy me a new board too =D). Being immature is a part of being mature.

Tbfgraphx14 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I got to go skiing once. It was very enjoyable and I was doing about medium blues well by the end of the day :) Tbfgraphx14Happy to find I'm not the only one who eats glass.

Lenin64 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 When I was a young lad, I went to Munich, Germany for vacation. I took skiing lessons. It was awful. They had us WALK up a 35 degree incline in our skis , instead of letting us take the lift, they weren;t very informative or helpful, and I crashed into a building. Command the Murderous Chalices!

dsavi Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 It snowed here in Finland, but it was so warm that it didn't hold. I can ski, skate, and this year I decided to try snowboarding. BTW, Helsinki (Capital of Finland for those of you not in the know) has almost the same latitude as Anchorage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrington Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Do snowball fights count as a winter sport? lol. About the only winter sport I participate in really. They recently opened an indoor ski slope near where I live. Always meant to check it out, but just haven't gotten around to it. Seems like most winter sports here require some kind of qualification/training course before you're allowed to do it unsupervised. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelem_ryu Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I'm a pretty good skiier. It's our national sport after all. I used to go skiing for a week or two every year. This year i didn't however. I hope there will be an opportunity this winter =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamecaller Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I skied for a few years and then switched to snowboarding...Boarded for like 2 years then bought my own, very nice $600 board. ...Haven't used it since I bought it. :( It hasn't snowed good enough here in Minnesota for like 5-6 years. Even if it snows great this year (it won't, it was like 6 degree's yesterday and it's almost November...It should be snowing by now...) I probably won't be able to go. Might as well sell the thing. :P Problem with THAT is that it's an older model by now, so no one would probably want it.

dsavi Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 /\ Minnesota?? I used to live there! (MN Twins, MN Vikings, MN Wild FTW!) I was there last in 2005, in Alexandria just with some relatives (none of us actually live near there) we went skiing, and the snow was just perfect- -1, 0 degrees C, so the snow had a great grip. I think there's a tip.it Crew member, Mod, or maybe it was a tip.it event team member that lives in MN too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSxqPowerx Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Skiing ftw! I've been skiing for a while, it's awesome :D Got a few resorts 1-3 hours from where I live, also been on ski trips to bigger resorts with my family. Also on my school ski/snowboard club, so I go every thursday starting in January, it's so much more fun with friends lol And of course, being a Canadian and all, I play hockey in the winter :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenin64 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Hmm...does air rifle practice in the winter count? I got nothing else :oops: Aw man, that just made me realize: we practice in what is essentially a storage house, like a warehouse I guess, but with nothing in it, no heating, probably little insulation, and we have a door open the whole time....^@$#....
