    Ski'er

    I'm a skier, old school down hill, dont like snowboards at all...

    The best snow here in Victoria would be Hotham, but Falls Creek has some insane runs...personally though im going to New Zealand in two weeks as the snow there rips over what we have here...and it costs less to go to the snow there than it does here.


    I'll post up some pics when I get back, show you what snow really looks like

    I snowboard fairly regularly every winter, usually just at local hills. I've gone a few times to Whistler (ranked as the best ski resort in North America). The drive is about an hour-and-a-half from where I live.

    hehe, obviously i am a snow boarder... i don't like them much either. much harder to read then skiers when you are trying to fang down a run and also we f - up the snow

    a friend of mine is in falls creek this week (damn her)...

    and yeh please post some pics, i want to go to NZ next year for sure. i just don't know which resort/area... any suggestions?

    i love skiing, and am quite good. problem is, my mom is the only other person in my fam who skis and she isnt as good as me, so its hard to find a ski companion. my sister is also a skier, but she is not that good, but shes young. my best friend is an excellent skiier and has skied in the french alps, hes from france originally. once i can drive, we will go up to some nice mountains for road trips hopefully. a skiing trip is in the works with my family out to utah or some other place out there. when i skied for the first time, i took a group lesson, and took to it naturally and moved up 5 levels in 1 day.

    I've been skiing one time at Pine Knob, I believe. I was a whole lot of fun, and I wish I could go again, unfortunately I now live in Georgia, where there is nowhere to go skiing/snowboarding. Too bad
