Board. I'm probably going to go to Tahoe for my birthday since my birthdays always suck and I always end up by myself, so this year, I figure I'll go do something.
Skinny-dipping in the lake with snow is awesome.

I haven't really gotten a chance to do either. But I would have to go with the Snowboard hands down. It gives you the ability to be way more creative and...oh yeah......it just looks like way more fun just as long as I don't try to pull off any of the anti-grav stunts on SSX 3. :D

I'm a skiier but I think I am going to switch to snowboarding. Snowboarding is much less demanding on your knees than skiing. I put too much workload on my knees as it is... I have ADD and constantly jump on a trampoline to calm it. Because of this, I need to pay extra attention to my knees.
Also to all you fellow ADD'ers, a trampoline > ritalin. Tom Cruise is right, drugs are bad Mmm Kay.

Tom Cruise, the one who jumps on couches and disses medications while looking like he's on something illegal isn't really one to listen too, m'kay? :) Have you see the "In the Closet" episode of South Park? Damn, I love that show. In that episode, he's all whiny because the supposed-reincanation of Hubbard (Stan) doesn't think Cruise is the best. :D

Lol! Tom Cruise is one crazy son of a *****. I was kinda kidding, but do not underestimate the power of the trampoline for all you ADD'ers out there. Do not convert to Scientology kids, those are some crazy mofo's.

I'll be 26 on December 8th, so am thinking of heading up that morning and coming back Sunday or Monday. Whether there's rain, snow, or sun, I just want to go somewhere where I can distract myself.

Die hard snowboarder. I used to compete, but have not in a couple years.
I was a skier from 3 or 4 until i was 12 (i think?) and then i tried out my first snowboard... not once, since that day, have i put on a pair of downhill skis. :D
