Skiers, Boarders UNITE!

[Van Dude]

Just seeing if there are any other skiers around DS? Seattle and Vancouver are in a great part of the world in being that they are a reasonable distance to many ski hills, back country, and resorts.

  Any favorites?

  I love

Whistler of course, but too darn crowded

Whitewater is beautiful

Big (Montana, not  Kelowna). Big Mountain is by far the best snow I have ever enjoyed, not too busy either. Always reliable!

Jackson Hole was cool too, but very busy also.

Lake Louise is sweet after a good snow dump.

  Any other skiers? boarders? I don't know how you could live in this part of the world and not? That would be crazy talk!

I ski.  There is also a guy named Devil (based in Calgary) who posts here from time-to-time.  He's a skiier and boarder.
 
 We started skiing last year after a 15year hiatus.  (I grew up skiing in the local hills.)  We have seasons passes at Seymour.  It's been a good atmosphere for Heckyl and Jeckyl to learn.
 
 In Jan I needed to drive out to Alberta for a family funeral- no time for skiing.  *sniff* I drove past Sun Peaks, the new hill in Revelstoke, Kicking Horse in Golden, Banff/Sunshine, Canmore/Kananaskis,  and Canada Olympic Park.  And I had the skis in the  roof rack carrier the entire time.  *sniff*

Seymour would be perfect for kids learning. I bet it doesn't take long either? Kids are so fearless, LOL!

[Van Dude]

Oh, I forgot about the new hill at Revolstoke. I always said that is one place that needs a hill, the snow is crazy awesome there!! Thanks Lil Me!!

[Lil Me]

Seymour has a nice laid-back vibe.  It's still a family-owned and operated hill....so it's just like a ski hill out of the 1970s.  One of the chairlifts still has wooden seats.  

[Van Dude]

I meant Revelstoke needed a better hill than the one they had. I think they just expanded Revelstoke Mountain. Either way, great snow in that area.

I've never skiied before but it was just recent (2006) that I've been to Whistler and then to Seymour.  (snowshoeing and tubing)

  One day, I will give it a go.  My guy keeps bugging me.  That, and camping.

Dont ski or snowboard. I do water ski and wakeboard alot during the uh, warmer months.

I want to try skiing and snowboarding, as does Starfish.

[P.C.]

Me neither Russ.  But put the same equipment on the water, and I'm in.  Surfing is fun !

    Haha.....

  This is the hardest part of surfing......getting into a bikini.  (that word actually came up)

[P.C.]

Which reminds me, I probably should think about getting my bathing suit ready for summer.  I think I will probably have the pantlegs let down just a little bit....and the sleeves could probably be shortened an inch or so.

[purelife]

Who needs a bathing suit when you're wearing that sexXxy cat suit?  

[Russ]

 Shoot! Thanks PC!!
I need to check out mine and Starfishies bathing suits, and see whether or not we need to go shopping tonight. Blast!

  Erm....I think the dry cleaners shrunk it again. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/g038.gif" border=0]
