New here

Welcome!
We're actually a forum that talks about financial issues, but I'm sure we've got some snowboarders out there!

I can't walk and chew gum - so I don't snowboard, ski, or walk downstairs carrying a full cup of coffee. Anyway, I bought my 8 y/o grandsons snowboards for Xmas - but I am sure that does not count aside from the fact that someone like you should have posted earlier and clued me in on how much they were going to cost before I made promises. :? But, maybe you can answer this. Would you recommend lessons for boys that age? Or should clumsy grandma hope that her grandsons did not take after me and can pick up something like this fast?

Good question JMM. Sagepowder, where are you from? Your moniker says you're in my neck of the woods because the desert has sage and Utah has the greatest powder in the world! Why BC when skiing is so great here?

Have fun!! I'd break my neck on a snowboard!!

I am however, a runner..I was going to run the PepsiKiwanis in BC a few years back, but I brok my ankle a few weeks before. :( I saw pictures..and it looks like a gorgeous place..Hopefully I will run that one yet!!

I have never skiid, but by daughter started to a few years ago and loves it. She's still waiting for snow here in Ohio so she can go again. My granddaughter is 7, and she wants to go with her this year.

I took a class once and flunked it. My weak ankle wouldn't allow me to turn left and I would cross the skis and fall over. Everone passed the class but me and the 5 year olds got to go to the bunny hill and I got sent back to the lodge because I was a danger to myself :oops:
