I have only went snowboarding once but I really enjoyed it. We went to Big Bear in California. I liked it. I think it doesn't really matter where you go the first time since you'll just be having fun learning and progressing. _________________ You had me at meat tornado. -Ron Swanson |

So far I heard Utah and Colorado is a good place but the flight is cheaper to Utah than Colorado by 250.00. So i'm leaning towards Utah |

Id say do a weekend at sugar or beach
they have a big area and plenty of beginner trails
app is tiny and full of legit park stuff, so idk if thats the best place to start but they have the nicest park setup in the south east
perfect north is also a great place and its right next to wakenation _________________ https://vimeo.com/moontowerco |

I'm looking into it now looks like it's very possible that it would be north carolina, how bad is it if I were to be there the week of new years? |

Haven't been to ski there but supposedly it's pretty badass. I might be going during December so I'll let you know. And I'm sure that new years would be a good time, has to be cold right? _________________ You had me at meat tornado. -Ron Swanson |

a few years ago I went and they got hit with 11 fresh inches (nothing of any resort but for them it was huge) on new years
its high enough that by then the temps are good enough that they can blow a decent base
that wont be really anything that youll care about in reality bc your going to be learning anyways
and if you were out west you would stay on groomed trails anyways
so I would say keep an eye on the web and watch what happens
if you wanted a free place to crash and someone to ride with (so you dont have to rent shiznackle equipment that will make it impossible to have fun with) I can see if I can get my brother lined up to take you
he has a few setups and is only a 2.5 hr ride from there
we used to wakeup and drive in leave at 7 and you can still be there when they open) then just grab a cheap hotel or go back home _________________ https://vimeo.com/moontowerco |

POPTART, Thanks bro but I don't want to be a burden to your brother. I will get a hotel near the mountain and if he's down to ride with a wakeskater who doesn't know anything about snow then definitely let him know I am willing to learn. |

A.Rodriguez, im out here in Utah, go to Park City if you want the best park riding, go to Brighton if you want the best snow/terrain, I personally ride at Park City, let me know when you come out, we could take a shred together. |
