I started skiing when I was about 15. Thank god i did. Life altering experience.

What about snowboarding?
I snowboard and telemark ski as well but I think I prefer regular old skiing although once I get as good on the tele's that may change.

I think we should have a poly ski meet.

I started cross country skiing when I was about 2, slalom/downhill when I was 5, snowboard at the age of 13. I've tried telemark on several occasions but I don't own a pair of telemark skis (yet).

I didn't start skiing until I was 16 and I haven't been skiing for the last two seasons.

Shouldn't you take the opportunity to do some literally alpine skiing now that you're in Europe?

[Makeo]

I'll be heading back to the states shortly. Although may be back in January so may try and get a few days in France.

Many places here (snowboarding) but I guess you haven't heard any of them, except if you like snowboarding, and have read at least few magazines, you should know about Talma, which is legendary place across the globe. I never was a regular there, but I've been there many times... No it's not a great place, but it's known all over the world by it's super high quality of snowboarders.

In Sweden I've done Ã…re, Swedes should know the place at least by the name and then in the US I've done Mt Hood (Timberlake and Meadows), and I'm planning on going to Meadows again this winter, and also go to Whistler as well, IF my money allows me to spend one or two nights there.

[Gangerolf]

I've been to Ã…re too. Long time ago though. An other decent place in Sweden is Selen. Other than that, I've been all over southern Norway. The best places are perhaps Hemsedal, Trysil (just across the border from Selen), Hafjell and Stryn (summer skiing!).

I really really want to take a trip to the Alps soon.

[Ecthy]

Love to ski, never snowboarded.

[Ecthy]

you could have travelled, Az

[Gangerolf]

you can roller ski!

[Arrian]

I like skiing, but I'm not quite as spoiled as you. I have to content myself with skiing the mountains in VT and NH (and occasionally a hill here in CT). I mean, I could ante up the cash and head west to ski one of those big mountains, but I haven't yet.

I end up skiing a handful of times per year... just enough to remember all the stuff I already knew by the end of the season.

We actually have a single ski resort, but, well, we couldn't afford the equipment when I was a kid, as well as the trip there.
