    I am so close to my winter break and we just got 14 inches of snow the other day. So of course the only thing I want to do is hit the slopes and the trails.

    Anyone else have the same ideas?

    Snow = my favourite type of weather.

    In Aus there isn't really that much snow... at all.. but during the season I try to go atleast twice a year. Snowboarding would be my outright favourite sport, but I really enjoy Skiing aswel, especially if I'm not feeling quite energetic enough to get on a board.

    It's summer here, and it was 42oC (108oF) yesterday - Doubt there will be any snow anytime soon.

    I am not the best skier on the planet, as I only really go once a year with my youth group, sometimes twice but my mom has sworn off it for life. But god I love it so...

    Well I don't even know what it is... what is skiing? I grew up in south Japan we didn't get really any snow there... maybe like a cm but it would melt the next day all of it

    Every Christmas is spent skiing in our family, we enjoy it so much (no, you wouldn't have guessed....) I just got a new ski-jacket, since I grew out of my older one! I'm set for a great time the slopes we visit regularly have SO much snow this year (I think it's something insane like three meters in a week), it's going to be a blast!

    I haven't been skiing since I was in school, but I did love it the 2 times that I've been before. So much so that when I was putting my choices down for JET program placements my first two choices were for Hokkaido and Nagano prefectures - just to get lots of snow :slight_smile:
     
  7. Iowa doesn't have any mountains upon which to ski, unfortunately :frowning2: So I can't really ski here. But I absolutely love skiing. My family used to go to Colorado about once a year to some ski resorts/mountains (Keystone, Breckenridge, and Copper Mountain). We haven't done it for a couple years now :frowning2: It's really sad. Now I really want to ski... grr.
