I’m going on a 5 day snowboard trip to jay peak vermont during new years… Besides the snowboarding essentials, what type of clothing would i wear or bring for the nightlife??
here’s exactly what you’ll need:
CLOTHING:
jeans
sweats
lounge pants
any warm pants
LONG JOHNS
long sleeved shirts
sweaters
very warm pj’s…doesnt matter if you usually wear shorts and a cami to bed, you must bring like flannel pj’s
since it’s newyears you may want to bring dressy clothes for new years parties
plenty of socks, they do get wet
undies
bras
camis for under your snowboarding equipment or for sleep under pj’s
ur winter coat
uggs/snowboots
hat/gloves/scarve
then of course you need your snowboard, and the things you need for it. it is very cold, and bring plenty of everything, things will get wet from snow. everything should be warm clothing!
The life of a snowboarder can be hard. While boarding is becoming much more popular in the US, boarders still don’t get a lot of love from skiers. That’s why it’s important to be aware of the best places to snowboard. If you know the best places, you’ll not only be able to find the best slopes and terrain parks for boarding, you’ll also be able to find a place great atmosphere where you’re not the only one who enjoys snowboarding. There are many places where you can have a great time boarding, but two of the best are in Colorado. They boast not only great runs, but great atmosphere as well.
If you’re looking for a great place to snowboard, the first place you want to check out is Breckenridge. They’ve got 146 runs with a good mix of beginner, intermediate, advanced, and expert levels. If you’re less about going down the mountain and more about doing tricks, they also have three terrain parks. One of the terrain parks, Freeway Superpark, hosts several competitions every year and is widely considered the best terrain park in Colorado and even North America. If you’re not quite ready for that kind of park yet, they also have a terrain park built specifically for beginners to learn their moves. And if you get bored of the mountains at Breckenridge, you can catch a free shuttle over to neighboring Keystone for some night skiing and snowboarding (and the tickets are interchangeable). If this isn’t enough for you, the town has a great atmosphere as well. The resort area is the largest historic district in the state of Colorado. It boasts tons of shops, a variety of great restaurants, oxygen bars, and you can take free shuttles from town to each peak. If you’re into the night-life, Breckenridge has several clubs and bars to suit all the late-night partiers. If you’re with people who are into something besides going down the mountain, there is also snowmobiling, ice skating, dog sled tours, hiking trails, and a whole lot more. If you’re looking for a great all-around resort, Breckenridge is the place to go.
If you’re just learning to snowboard, Vail is a great resort to check out. Besides the fact that Vail is widely considered to be the best ski resort in the US (and the biggest), it’s also got great accommodations for those who are just starting out; including a school with over 800 instructors (including those fluent in different languages) and tons of beginner runs. This way you won’t get by doing the same thing over and over while you’re learning. They also boast one of the largest terrain parks for those looking to work on their tricks. Vail is also not a bad place to go for those of you who are a little more experienced on the slopes. They have so many different runs of all levels; snowboards of all levels of experience are bound to keep busy the whole time they’re there. And when you’re taking a break from boarding, you can take one of the free shuttles into town where you can fine over 250 shops and 100 restaurants and bars. In a resort like Vail, you’re sure to never get bored.
So, what are you waiting for? Grab your board and head off to one of these great resorts!

Skiing vs. Snowboarding question!! some insight please!
I downhill skiied for the first time last winter, and absolutely loved it. i took one lesson, where i learned the basics and went in the chair lift to a beginner “green” slope, and skiied down that several times. i learned a little bit about turning, but i didn’t go as far as to use poles.
i definitely want to try skiing again this winter, and advance in it, but i’d also really like to try snowboarding. would it be better to advance further in skiing before i tried snowboarding? also, is it possible to become a skiier (or snowboarder) if i only can currently do it during winter breaks (and have to travel to get to a mountain)?
thanks so much!
im putting this in polls/surveys because no one’s answering in the skiing section..
I am a very good skier i have been skiing since i was 4 year old
I love it so much!!
just this last witer i took up snowboarding
snowboarding is different but i really like it a lot.
It is a different feeling then skiing
I would either continue with skiing until you get okay and then just snowboaring or start snowboarding and ski once you get the feel for snowboarind and choice which one you like better
