About 6 years ago, I took lessons at Alpine Meadows, then boarded at Boreal.  They seemed quite adequate.\n\nMy family now skis at Northstar.  My son is too young to board yet but the ski school at Northstar seems to have a great program for kids through adults.  And Northstar is extremely popular for boarders (seems like it is 50-50 skiers boarders).\n\nWe have friends whose kids learned at Sugarbowl.\n\nHonestly, I think you'd not go wrong with any of these resorts.  Any place with decent beginner and intermediate runs would probably be a good place to start.\n\nI'm waiting until the kids are independent enough on skis or boards before I try to take up boarding again.

Loveland, colorado. They are at such a high elevation, they open early, and close late in the season. I've skied there. It is a pretty big place, with hard runs. It is very cheep too. Less than $40 a lift ticket. If you are not used to being at a high elevation, you might have trouble getting used to it.

Most people that get to that competitive level start skiing by age three and competing at age 6.  You would go to ski based schools growing up like a ski academy.  Then you would be recruited by the team after you kicked but in division one or world cup level races.\n\nWhat I'm trying to tell you is that it's not as easy as it looks.  These guys have been skiing and racing at least 3-4 days a week since they were kids and dry land training in thier off time.\n\nGood luck.

I recommend Aspen, CO.  There are 4 mountains included.  Buttermilk Mountain is great for beginners, while there is Aspen Highlands and Aspen Mountain for the better skiers.  Snowmass is a huge mountain with great ski schools.  Great night life also!

Ski hill jobs arent really known for benefits.  The benefit is you get to ski a lot more than anyone else.  Good resorts- depends what you want.  Jackson Hole like other guy mentioned is known for being one of the best expert hills... Whistler is a mecca for skiing, got a lot of everything... Utah gets hammered with snow (Alta, Snowbird)... Colorado has big resorts and expensive crowds (Vail, Aspen, Breckenridge)...

I sort of agree.  Especially during the Olympics.  The USA is so much bigger than (moire populated and better ) than all other countries, why don't they compete under specific states?

Olympic athletes spend most of their waking lives exercising, training and practicing their sport.

Breckenridge and Vail are great choices if you are staying at the resort. If staying in Denver, I recommend trying Winter Park. It is closer to Denver, gets more snow than Summit or Vail counties and you will save some money on the lift ticket. THE SKIING IS AWESOME!

You are going to want lots of layers, remember if you get too hot you can just peel a few off. Most resorts offer lessons with certified instructors. You'll need to rent a board and some boots, I recommend strap in bindings, not click in bindings because sometimes those come off. Denver is a good place but Boulder and Telluride are better. Denver is a little overrated, sorry to the people that live there and love it! If you don't want to take lessons from the resort, you can find places around the resort you want that offer lessons as well. I can't stress the clothes thing enough. Layers and layers. And wear waterproof pants with comfortable pants underneath. I wear jeans and people think I'm crazy, but it's easiest for me. You'll want a hat because your ears will freeze and warm gloves because your hands will freeze. You'll be falling a lot so make sure that you are sealed up in your clothes and no snow can get in because that is the least comfortable thing in the world. I love snowboarding so I hope you like it too!

Everyone knows that coastal Delaware and Maryland are known for their ski resorts.  I would go to Snow Hill, Maryland which is just west of Rehobeth Beach.  You could also go water skiing but no, that's another whole different thingie.

It is (I know this for sure, because I am going there this summer) happening in British Columbia, Canada. More specifically, Vancouver, and the surrounding areas. There are numerous mountains for the downhill (skiing and snowboarding) events to take place at. The indoor events (ice skating, curling, etc.)- as well as the opening/ closing ceremonies- will happen right in Vancouver. I'm not sure where the nordic, and other outdoor events will happen, but probably just outside the city. They have really great facilities everywhere, so even though they have a lot of work to do, they already have a great head start. Also, I know from experience, the village at Whistler/ Blackcomb are great "tourist" attractions, and there is a great deal to do right in Vancouver.
