I live in Maine, and this has been a hell of a hot summer season so far. I am DYING for Autumn. Nothing beats Autumn in Maine.

"skis are the rollerblades of the snow"
That's got to be the most retarded analogy I've ever heard...

I grew up skiing from 12-20 years old. Then got into Snowboarding a few years ago. Everything you've learned transfers over, it's just easier and you're going sideways. You'll dig it. Especially in the pow.

But if you really enjoy skiing why would you want to stop? Just 'cos others 'board, doesn't mean you have to follow.

i fully support you learning to snowboard. be a responsible parents and teach your kids to a well. skis are the rollerblades of the snow.

I gave up on the two planks years ago. It's the way to go for sure. Last year on a cat skiing trip I ran into a 60 year old Swede who just took snowboarding up and vowed he'd never go back to skiing. It's a different ride for sure.. just learn to avoid the flats as you'll be walking your ass a lot. Good luck!

I grew up skiing too, but learning to snowboard wasn't that difficult as I already knew how to surf and skateboard. I couldn't give up any one thing for another, they're different experiences.
- i've got the basics down. I think the years of skiing and some skateboarding helped learn fast.fugged

Because it looks fucking fun. :) I could care less what other people are doing. Fuck that. I just want something new.
I guess when you aren't religious in the slightest, and skiing has been your religion your whole life - this is like being born again :) haha.

I hate the snow, the cold. If i never see another snow flake again he rest of my life I will be happy. Glad I live in SoCal....
