I'll be going between Beaver, Vail, Copper, Loveland, A-Basin, Keystone and Breckenridge again. Never been upto Steamboat, though I hear it's good as well.
 
Should be getting my first session snowboarding tomorrow... At an indoor slope lol. Been climbing the walls with boredom here, so going to make my way to Chill Factore in Manchester, anyone been there at all?
Ended up buying a board the other day, as I was getting a 10% discount on all my gear, so couldn't complain too much really lol.

Go there quite often, was there last Wednesday. It's obviously not as good as a real mountain, but it's still pretty fun, and a great way to practice. You doing a lesson package?

Nah, no lessons, just wanted to get out on the slope, as I've not been on snow for nearly 4 years now.
But was a good day, besides the epic journey too and from lol. Good quality snow, helpful staff, nice atmosphere. As it was mid afternoon on a week day, it wasn't too busy at all, so got plenty of runs in during the 2 hours, never had to queue for the lift. Would go again for sure, well, if I wasn't moving lol.
 
Just bought some Armada JJs and off to Whistler for 15 days skiing on Boxing Day. Whoop!

Flying to geneva on Thursday for three days on the slopes.

Staying with a mate who lives there so we have a car to get about. Planning days in Chamonix, Morzine & La Clusaz.
 
I'm going to Tignes on Friday, I can't wait this will be my 3rd snowboarding holiday and i'm more excited everytime I go :D I've never been to a park with jumps and rails before so that will be a lot of fun as Tignes has a couple of them.
 
Heading back out again to Nendaz on the 26th.

Got back from Chatel area on Sunday. Snow was OK, but was nice and hot! I was teaching my GF to ski so it was OK for me not to have loads of snow as I was pottering.

I did manage to get her competent doing any reds at the end of 4 days skiing... so I think I did pretty damn well!
 
At Cham last weekend - really struggling for snow right now, got a dusting Sunday night but Saturday in Brevant was some of the hardest packed ice ever had the misfortune to ride on.
