I don't ride much, but my bro is out in Winter Park CO for about his 8th season, and his 4th (I think) running the terrain park. I got a mail from him yesterday with just one word: POOPIDGE

no mountains in texas, but i have friends in denver colorado that i try and visit for a snowboarding trip each year around xmas or spring break.
check out my friends web site for a little look into the skate/snowboard/graf/scratching/hiphop scene from denver.

ive been skiing for 16 years.
got 2 racing golds. mainly hit europe but have hit USA once (vermont) and Canada once (Lake Louise - FUCKING FREEZING!!) the US don't booze like the europeans do though. theres no bars on the slopes or anything.. in europe there is a bar at the bottom of pretty much every lift, its jokes! everyone is skiing/boarding pissed up.
i love sitting in the snow at the top of a mountain and blazing a zoot with my ipod or something, i dont think anything has beaten that yet for me.
i wanna start a dubstep and garage party in the mountains over the season one year, i think that would be sick!! draw for the avalanche!!

ive been on one incredibly painful, but wonderful, snowboarding holiday a few years back, it was one of the best holidays ive ever had i think. such an incredible thing! you get up there and the air is so crisp and the views so spectacular, crisp snow, the sound of laughter! deep. but i struggled, and hurt myself a lot. i'd love to go again soon and build on my progress but its just so expensive, especially without owning the kit

that would actually be amazing. not sure i can imagine dubstep but garage seems like perfect music for the setting, the vibes would be deep.

lol nah not many! im so envious of people with snowboard resorts on their back doors, it must be so sick to just pop up for a weekend or whatever
the moor is always good crack when it snows though

yea i love it been about 5 times. Its stupidily good fun but pretty pricey which is frustrating, might be going to iran this year which sounds weird but apparently its got amazing snow and its 20 quid for a day lift pass (allthough apparently you have to fork out extra for an armed guide so you dont get robbed/murdered

). Either that or andorra if the majoirty of people arn't down with it.

Was booked for a week in Austria for NYE, but had to cancel due to an extreme lack of funds - I blame council tax and buying records.
Went to Austria earlier this year, which was bloody ace apart from turning into the Elephant Man because I didn't put enough sun screen on!
Spent a season in New Zealand a couple of years ago which was brilliant even though the ski areas are quite small.
But the best has to be Japan, the fluffiest powder I ever did see, and it puked everyday!!!
