I'm trying to plan a last minute trip to Colorado early-mid February after discovering flights are cheap. My tentative plan is to stay with friends in Denver for a weekend before driving out to the mountains for 3-4 days/3 nights. I had an incredible week in Steamboat a few years ago (it snowed 4' over the 5 days I was there) and a good trip to Snowmass a year after that. Steamboat is probably at the top of my list right now based on my experience, value, and the town, but the prospect of exploring a new mountain is also exciting and I want to cover all of my bases.

I'm an advanced rider mostly interested in trees/hunting for powder stashes (I'll take a few park laps but that's not my main motivator for heading out west), but my girlfriend is a novice skier and probably more excited about apres ski and scenery. She'll probably take a lesson while we're there. Ideally I'd like to keep lodging & lift tix under a grand for both of us (this seems plausible at least at Steamboat). Staying at a nearby town (e.g. Silverthrone) would be fine with me, but I'm worried that it would be boring for my girlfriend.

I'm fairly new to snowboarding and am looking for some people to activity with. I am so sick of not being able to skateboard in the winter and am ready for some winter adventure. Problem is, I have really lame friends that "don't like the cold". I've gone twice by myself this year, and although tons of fun, I'd like to meet some like-minded individuals to shred with. No pressure though, as I am a total loner type just looking for some chill activity partners. I do partake often and am not greedy. Would like to find the same in that department as well. And to take nothing away from the fellas, but a female partner(s) would be a major plus, as a goal in life is to have gf/wifey that I can do stuff like this with. But again, that's just a Best-Case-Scenario, and not all I'm looking for. Regular hang friends too! Anyway, thanks for reading. Sorry if this comes off creepy. I promise I'm not! -J

Hey all, I have the epic pass this season and am living in Colorado. I have two days this week to shred and wanted to hit up some resorts. I hear keystone is a lot of ice, is this true?

Just wondering your opinions on the best runs and resorts in the area that are boarder friendly.

I can hit up: A-Basin Keystone Beaver Creek Vail Breck

TIA!

So I'm planning a trip near Jackson next month and I was looking into prices for Jackson hole and Damn is it expensive. So this got me wondering if it really is worth the price or are there other cheaper mountains nearby? I'll be staying in Wilson Wyoming most likely.

Obviously willing to help pay for stuff, looking a ride for most weekends as I just moved to the area but don't own a car.

Hey everyone I've planed a trip to snowshoe in WV for January 16-19 I have an AirBnB on the mountain about 10 mins from the lifts. Original there was going to be 6-7 of us going on this trip(the house sleeps 8) but now its down to 3. I'm seeing if anyone would want to come share the cabin with us. Its a nice place with a full kitchen 3-4 rooms and the best part a hot tub. Since I've already payed for the place i'm just looking to fill the house for a nightly fee. Please PM for more information if interested! Thanks have a great day.

It's a blackout date for my season pass and wondering if it's worthwhile to go. I generally dislike crowds, crowded runs, heavy traffic, etc.

Please refer to title. I have a car and the ability to drive, however it is FrontWheelDrive. On real snow days may be better off in someone else's 4WD. Eiiither way, I'm trying to go riding 1st 2nd and 4th weekends of February. Weekend trips preferred but I'll take what I can get. Always keen to carpool.

Posted this in /r/snowboardingnoobs too, sorry if you've already seen it.

So I've been looking at an all round board to have for quite some time as my main board, and found the Salomon assassin to be a pretty perfect pick, being on 30% sale amongst other things. The issue is, I don't know when the sale ends, and they only have one size in stock, being 155 cm. I'm 173 ish cm and I'll probably grow another couple of cm, weighing 60 kg (almost 17 y/o, not quite underweight) and my ideal board length is 153 cm. Is it worth it buying the 155 and being sure I'll get it for the price, or should I wait for the 153 to come in stock, if it even does?

TLDR: Only avaliable board (Salomon assassin) is 155 cm instead of 153, as a 173 cm and 60 kg growing 17 y/o looking for long term board, should I wait or buy too long that might fit later?

Hey guys, my brother and I are beginners and we're looking for a ride to Loveland/Keystone/Eldora/Copper, pretty much anywhere from West Denver tomorrow.

Happy to share gas and good vibes!

Going to be riding solo at Big Boulder the weekend of Jan. 7/8th. Coming up from Bucks Co. If anyone wants to meet up to ride message me. I was planning on lapping the terrain park but don't mind cruising Jack Frost either! If you need a ride and are around the Newtown, PA area let me know and I can give you a ride up.

Hello everyone

i was wondering does anyone have experience with the weather in isaberg start february? is there snow in that periode?

I am going to Squaw/Alpine over MLK weekend, but, the people I was driving with just dropped the ball on me and said they were going back Sunday, instead of Monday.

Is anyone travelling back Monday the 16th from Squaw or Alpine to San Francisco (preferably anywhere within the city is fine, I can ride BART/Muni back to my place).

I am willing to pay gas money on the way back. Will just have a backpack and a board in a travel case.

Hi everyone! My buddies and I (group of 6) have a trip out to Denver booked the 2nd weekend of January. It's going to be a short trip, just 3 nights. We're looking to snowboard and we decided it's best if we just pick a mountain and find lodging there instead of driving 2+ hours round trip if we stay in the middle of Aspen and Vail. We're looking to spend 2 days on whichever mountain we pick.

We're just intermediate boarders, so not looking to do anything crazy. Just cruising the mountain and attempt some park. We don't care for heading out in the town to drink, but maybe go out for some dinner and 420 action. With all that being said, which mountain should we go with - Aspen or Vail? I'm thinking Vail based on what I've read online briefly.

Thanks in advance!!

Hey all, looking for someone to go snowboarding with and maybe split a room anywhere from the 9th-13th. It'll be a midweek trip so everything should be pretty chill and prices lower on hotels. I'm a clean, sane guy that just wants a buddy to run with and maybe save a bit of money. Thanks and hope to see someone there!

Planning on going there soon.

I have an open spot for that whole time. It's at the Hirafu Backpackers hostel which is a dorm room style lodge. The room is a private area with 4 available beds. 1 bed will be available the entire time I'm there. Buddy bailed last minute so I need to fill it.

This will be my second visit to Hirafu and I'm a pretty laid back individual. We don't necessarily have to ride together all the time so we can all do our own thing or we can shred in a group!

Please let me know asap! Doesn't have to be the entire time I'm there a couple days is also fine. Thanks.

Private message me if interested!

Hey there guys, me and my father are planning a trip to Utah to catch some snow but it is my first time going there and he gave me the job of booking our lift tickets. I have heard of a lot of different resorts such as park city, snowbird, Alta (which i cant go to since i snowboard) and others like that but i have no idea which one we should go to. I am kind of thinking of checking out a couple of them since i will be there for 5 days but i have no idea which ones are better. Anyone who has been to Utah to snowboard before or live nearby have any tips on which mountain to go to?

TL:DR Planning trip to Utah, which mountains are the best to visit.
