Well, tis the season for snow! I went snowboarding this weekend, and it rocked the who ha. Gotta love BC for its mountains.

Personally I have skied all my life til last year when I decided to learn snowboarding and got pretty good. (Had a bunch of free opportunities as I was ski instructing last winter).

Upon relection and doing of both sports, I think I like boarding a bit more. Its much more chilled out, "coasty" and flowy. Skiing seem more "sharp" and agressive.

Most of all I think snowboarding feels more harmonius since the whole body and board move together as one as opposed to skiing's detached submovements that fit the whole.

Don't get me wrong, skiing still rocks, I just like the chillin feelin of the boardin:D

happy winter to everyone!

ahh, the season of the SUN.

i woke up this morning and went for a walk along the beach, i was bored so i dove into the waves and swam for a while, then i had a chat with the lifeguard, she was fun, then i swam back to where i came from and took my clothes off, dried off and had a shower.

then i walked to my dads place and jumped online.

Aw man, I thought it was about coke.
That caught my attention too...


Anyways, I have always lived on the East Coast of the U.S.. Generally, snow is annoying. Just enough to slip and slide in your car... not enought to have fun with. I've never been ski'ing or snowboarding.

Just for the hell of it. I was in Savannah for the last 2 weeks. Several days I entertained the thought of going to the beach and tanning before returning to Virginia. Wonderfull weather down there, I miss it.

I don't know which one is "best". I like to ski, personally.

Have done a little skiing, Lake Tahoe, & Truckee area. Met Mark Spitz in line at fast food place actually while skiing. I did the bunny slopes, and wasn't happy about getting off the chair lift when it is directly on a slope downhill. Am a beginner skiier.

I had negative experiences with skiing when I was younger. So I chose the last option.

Skiing is great, I usually go at least once a year... but after an hour or two I start getting bored.

I don't know I can't decide, I have done both, but not enough of either to decide.

In the interest of consistency, I will say, "indifferent"
