To Ski or Snowboard - that is the question.

jasonmills58

I'm a snowboarder, personally, but I'm just curious what other webheads like to do... I happen to be terrible at it, but I love it, so I'm learning. 😃

jebster

umm I live in Saskatchewan, what hills am I suppose to do this on? :p hehe I guess there's a couple. I would probably do whatever the people I am with are doing! No option for that. 😉

LordShryku

Actually, I skateboard. Arizona....no snow.

OT: Does anyone else have the distinct feeling Bill Gates is trying to ruin ther lives? I've spent the whole day making workaround for things that are normal HTML, but don't work in older versions of IE. I'm now planning the assasination 😃

About time! hehe 🙂

BTW, I LOVE snow(response to last poll option)! Winter rules! <--- Truth

jasonmills58

Sorry Jeb, I should have thought of that. I had to live in St.Louis for a few years. I know what flat land is all about... LOL

Shryku - Arizona does too have snow. Don't you have some mountains or something?

Guess I needed some more poll options
<-----MODS-----> FEEL FREE TO ADD IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED OPTIONS (or whatever) :p

LordShryku

Yeah, mountains are a 4 hour drive from here, and the bowl has only been open two weeks this winter. Pretty doubtful they'll open up until next winter with the current weather.

jasonmills58

ok then. You're off the hook. 🙂

i ski personally... dont like the idea of being strapped into a board like that.. so little freedom....

LordShryku

Try skateboarding. More freedom. More cement though..... 😃

jasonmills58

see, skiing always looked scary cuz i imagined my legs shooting off in two non-parallel directions...

Skiing every time....

Here I am adopting a typically aggressive technique on some salomon 1080's!
SKIING
-(apologies for the crap website!)

Going to sunny La Plagne on Wednesday am. 🆒

jasonmills58

LOL The website is fine, I'm more worried about the photo that comes right after that one! Who is that guy?

greeno76

Some toothless simpleton!! [ex-housemate]

Very worrying isn't it?!

I should be fair to him

Try this one:
Sorry Adam

His girlfriend's the one on the left, so maybe dodgy wigs are the way forward!

I tried skiing for the first time about 6 years ago, and I got yelled at by the instructors on the bunny hill because I was so uncoordinated ("You're going to kill someone" was actually what they said). So after that I thought, "hey- why not try snowboarding? After all, these kids do it all the time, how hard can it be?" A half an hour later I was still trying to hold on to the tow rope and stay on my feet.

So then I promptly went to the lodge to have a beer and wait for the rest of the group 😃

That or the tip of your ski getting caught on something and your body continuing along ending in a broken ankle or limb.. ouch.

I prefer sports where I can sit (or better yet, lie) down.

jasonmills58

Oh yeah, those are great too. I do amateur car racing outside of the winter season. Lots of sitting. 😃

Or perhaps that was a vote for "What? Go outside?" ?

piersk

I've never skiied or snowboarded in my life. I do, however, LUUUURVE snow and love to build snowmen and throw snowballs at innocent passers by/my housemates (more the latter, but sometimes people just get in the way)

Kayaking; I climb rocks as well - which I admit doesn't involve sitting or lying down - but I've yet to do that in conjunction with any snow (not enough of that around where I live).

I sit on my bike but there isnt snow when i ride.. Actually i dont think ive seen real snow besides on TV
