Where is the best place to go snowboarding in USA?

So far all the answers have been from folks representing their home mtn. I mean, Snowshoe??? Give me a break! W. Virginia is white-trash, not to mention on the East Coast, which pretty much means icy conditions.

I would recommend a mtn that is consistently on the top of the list for everything, terrain park, powder, size, and conditions. If it’s gotta be in the top five in every category imaginable, then it’s gotta be Vail, CO. For snow, the Rockies is definitely the way to go. Colorado and Utah have the best snow in the world. Not the most, but it’s dry, fluffy, and plentiful. Not the icy crap on the East Coast, nor the wet, slow stuff on the West Coast. I’ve been to resorts all over the continent, and nothing touches Vail except for maybe Whistler/Blackcomb, but that isn’t in the U.S.

Park City, Utah is another good all-around pick.

For a Novice, Which is more effective to Start out With, Snowboarding or Skiing?

Normally, you don’t believe which one is the right answer to your question as in the end it will always remain a matter of personal preference. However, they  have an opinion based on  a personal experience. The Snowboarding is all the rage among young people these days, and becoming even more popular than skiing.

This is likely because riding a Snowboard provides the potential for thrilling tricks and jumps, whereas skiing is traditionally more about simply going down the mountain. While you don’t need to be a daredevil-type snowboarder, the appeal of the sport largely lies in the thrill of the tricks and maneuvers, which can be dangerous. The risk of serious injury while snowboarding is greater than skiing, especially for a fully grown adult with no experience.

The lateral riding position is likely to feel unnatural and presents a risk of twisting on a wipeout and causing serious injury to the knee. Also, a beginner snowboarder will wipeout far more than a skier ever will. If you are careful in your apprenticeship, they would say that you could learn to ski without wiping out more than a small handful of times and with a very low risk of getting hurt.

Ultimately, this is to recommend the Skiing over Snowboarding. To the experienced practitioner, both sports provide equal thrills and opportunities to do tricks and maneuvers. For the beginner, the skiing is the one that will provide you a much lower risk of serious injury.

Anyone been snowboarding yet in Japan?

Does anyone have any good snow reports? Where do you recommend thats cheap for a day trip out of Tokyo
http://thejapaneseeye.blogspot.com/

I am a fanatic snowboarder. I check the websites for the specific resorts or weather.yahoo.co.jp for the weather and snow reports. Yahoo.co.jp also provides a link from the weather page to the different snow resorts in Japan. From Tokyo the best or simplest day trip is to the Gala-Yuzawa. You can see their website at www.gala.co.jp. That is the simplest to get to, but not the best resort for a day trip. The Gala-Yuzawa station, is directly under the Gala-Yuzawa resort main lodge. You just have to get off the shinkansen and go upstairs. For a more wider and open area, you can take a shuttle or taxi or the local train to Jouetsu Kokusai resort from the Echigo-Yuzawa station. After February the snow and weather starts to warm up enough that the snow is not so good anymore. My suggestion is go mid week, or you will be standing in lines all day long. The best resort with really good terrain parks and jumps is at Hunter Mountain Shiobara, in Tochigi prefecture. The huge hurdle is access is only bar car or bus. Nagano is an easy day trip from Tokyo, but the reorts are actually another 1 hour bus ride away. For Nagano-Hakuba, I suggest a 2 or 3 day trip.

What are some recreational activities in Austria?

This is for a project. What do Austrians do for fun (besides skiing, hiking, snowboarding, and bird-watching)?

My nephew likes to do hang-gliding and para-sailing. People in cities like Vienna and Salzburg usually love to go to concerts and to the opera. Austrians also like to take day trips to see local sights, and they like to eat out nicely at a local inn for lunch while they’re doing it. Some Austrians I know like to drive their motor bikes on mountain passes. Spending a week or two living on a farm is very popular, especially for people with kids. Austrians also love spas. There are several hot springs and mineral springs spas in Austria, and they get lots of visitors. In southern Austria, there are some wonderful medium-altitude lakes that are relatively shallow and get quite warm because of the sun exposure at that altitude, and people love to swim in them (they are very clean). People who can afford a small sailboat also like to sail there.

Austrians also like festivals, especially ones with music and good food. They like folk music and folk dancing. Because most people are Catholic, religious traditions are valued, and people enjoy the traditional activities for religious holidays.

Give me time, I can probably think of more, but those are the main ones I can think of.
