No I surf on them 🙃 If you live a couple of minutes away from the pistes it’s kind of a birthright. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you snowboarded, you would be kinda surfing the snow 🤪 Amazing birthright though! Just wow. I hope you can post some pics later in the season! I live close to a local ski area, but it's just a little no-name place (Steven's Pass, Cascade Mountains). My brothers & I snowboarded when we were younger. Now they have kids who are approaching the age when they can go (they've already had them on the mountain doing little kid stuff but they'll be able to ride the lifts now). I haven't been up in years but I think it'd be fun to go with the kids. That's probably more my speed now in my middle age 😅 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 Skiing and snowboarding with friends (or surfing, @Anjum!) just off Glacier 3000. The guy who did the jump hit a fence post 10 feet further down😂 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Definitely no snow here in Kentucky, yet! We are getting our first killing frost tonight, though. Time to bring in all the potted garden plants and let the rest go 😞 I hear it's beautiful out that way, @TheSwissAquarist! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanked Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 My snowboarding skills never rose above survival level. Fortunately I'm better on two skis. Long ago I shared a ski lift with a gentleman who had gone to ski in the American Rockies. He asked me, why would I ski the Swiss Alps when I had the Rockies? My natural response was "why would you ski in the Rockies when you have the Alps?" It's a no-brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 There is an old ski station above where I live which closed down in 2014, and there’s some kind of scheme to turn it into a hotel. I am tempted to make a film out of it, because it is quite an interesting story. Back in the day you got on a bubble lift at a station in the centre of the village, and then you arrived at a midway station, and the final stop was a restaurant at the top of the mountain. The entire installation looks like everyone just left to go for a coffee yesterday, it’s filled with old chairs from the chairlift (and I will admit to taking an old souvenir fridge magnet from the office). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, she’s great fun to watch jumping through the snow , since she’s only a foot and a half tall, and the snows at 2 feet 😅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
