Snowboard Canada

i wanna plan a ski trip for me and several friends in jan. but it just so much u have to look into….

we where thinking the pocanos?
or should we try colorado…vermont…canada?
we wanna arrive on a wed & leave on a sun…is that a good idea?
do we need ski lift tickets for everyday?
should we invest in ski/snowboarding lessons? how many?
is it better to find a hotel that is closer to the slopes?
what about ski rentals?
whats the average pricing for rentals, lift tickets, lessons ect?

any useful feedback is greatly appreciated!

Colorado hands down. I live in a ski town aout 1 1/2 hrs from Denver called Winter Park. Do not do east coast skiing b/c it sucks and is icy. So if you are learning, it blows. Colorado has powder when it snows, so it’s a lot of fun. Going during the weekday is better b/c all of the Denver ‘weekend warriers’ come up and crowd the mountain on the weekends. You need a ski pass each day you are skiing. The best thing to do is get a half day pass and go in the afternoon. If you are not used to skiing/boarding then going for a full day will leace you tired, bruised and battered and then you won’t go the rest of your trip. GET LESSONS. No choice, seriously — even if it is only the first day. After that, you will have an idea of what to do and you can get another one if needed. Rentals are el cheapo – maybe $15/day for snowboarding. Just rent the same ones for your whole stay. You don’t want to waste time standing in the ski shop. Also, rent from in town, not at the resort. Trust me. Don’t worry about staying close to the mountain, you will want to be in town anyway. Nothing goes on at night at the resort. Winter park has a Best Western that is fairly inexpensive or go through a vacation company and get a cool condo. Prices are about $70/day passes $45/half day.

The SOUND TRACK got replaced with a youtube song because of copyright issues. So the song does not go at all. It was originally The Sounds – Dance With Me , starting when the board hits the ground on the first shot.

In the video is Jeff Davies (me), Andrew Munster, Steve Romanin and Francois Ligeti.

Sound Track is ‘The Sounds – Dance With me’

I want to start up a ski and snowboard tour.
Spend from November to May in Whistler, Canada and then from June to October in Queenstown, New Zealand.
Would anyone be interested in this kind of tour and if so what alpine events would you want to focus in??

I don’t think anyone can take from november to may to ski we do have to work and go to school.

Hi,
I live in Canada and have season pass to Blue Mountain.
I planned and really wanted to snowboard today.. BUT it is very cold there -15 Celsius (feels like -24 celsius with wind!). Should I cancel or go anyway? do people ski/snowboard like that? THANKS.
other than temperature it is a good day to ski (no snow fall for example)

I’d say bundle up and have fun. But don’t go alone.
