Snowboarding

[Brian in Montana]

Any of you guys snowboarders? I got into it, a little, about 20-odd years ago, but life changed directions as it's apt to do, but I did continue to ski off and on. Fast-forward and I have a teenage son who is legitimately a very talented skier, therefore we're up at Ski Discovery every chance we can get there. The winter before last, pretty much on a whim, I leased a deck and surprised myself with how much fun I had on it. Nowadays, I pretty retired my skis and just ride a board, even though I'm probably the oldest fart on the hill doing it.

I was just thinking about it because my son and I have been browsing all the summer sales for ski and snowboarding gear recently, and I thought I'd put this out there. Surely I'm not the only hunter that likes to ride during the winter.

I’ve tried, but no bueno for me. I prefer my feet pointing where I’m heading.

So does being a boarder require that you lay around in the middle of the run with all your hipster buddies, or is that just an age thing?

Haven’t gotten to snowboard since high school. Been a skateboarder since I could walk so naturally when I moved to Montana as a young teen I got into it quickly. Like you said, life changes directions. Have fun and be safe out there!

i've never worn a pair of skis in my life believe it or not.

used to snowboard 30+ times a season in high school and college.

great times. still love it. go once a season at most anymore.

pace will probably pick back up once my kids start getting into it. i'll probably nudge them towards skiing though.
