great!  I have lived in Northern Ontario, Southern Ontario, the Toronto Area, Saskatchewan and Alberta.  So far every place I have lived is great.  You just have to learn to deal with the winter!

Too cold by me for most of the year.  Lots of jet skis, but most people here would be leery about hovercrafts cutting thru the waves.

The first suggestion has to be if you cannot snowboard yet then give it a try!  You might like it, and it solves the problem of having nothing else to do when everyone else is out on their boards. Even if you are unable to snowboard then there will be some snowy sport you could have a go at.\n\nAnyway, back to the question.  I went to Are in Sweden a couple of years ago which is quite a nice little place with a reasonble amount of things to do in town if you're not boarding/skiing.  There's dog sledding, skidooing, ice driving (take your licence) and a fair few shops and nice cafes etc. to keep you occupied.  If  Sweden won't suit then try and find a resort near e.g. Salzburg in Austria.  In general France is a bad choice if you are not going to be out on the slopes as many of the resorts are purpose built and have nothing else for you to do!

ride snowboards have a great Freestyle (park) boards with a lot of wide options. I am 6', 170 and size 12, i have a 159 santa cruz board (regular),  a 154 ride (reg) and a 131 nidecker (reg) for park. i tried a wide board once and hated it. i couldn't cut and carve as quick as i could with a reg board. I adjusted my bindings perfectly so i have zero toe or heel drag. they also make "risers" it lifts the binding a bit so you get no toe drag. My favorite setup i have for just freeriding is '06 santa cruz 'duo freedom' board, '06 ride SPI bindings, and '06 ride 'amp' boots\n\nLong time boarder...snowboard instructor at california resort

snowboard, waterproof pants & jacket tresspass are good, snowboarding boots you can get them in major towns or off the internet, a hat & glasses thats about it.

The correct answer is Alta and Snowbird in Utah.  Best lightest snow in the world.  Plus they get more snow than almost any other resort in the US except for one or two in Alaska. Last year they had over 700 inches. Most other resorts get only 300 inches.  Almost everyday is a powder day. Close to the airport (20 mins). You also have the option of skiing at 8 other resorts that are within 45 minutes from the airport.  If you don't want to go to Utah then the other favorites would have to be Jackson Hole and Whistler BC.  Don't waste your time in Colorado. Its not worth it. \nSnowbird hosts the freeskiing nationals every year so they have their fair share of steeps.  Hands down the best skiing in the world.

Have a Winter Sport.  Build a snowman, throw a snowball, go sledding, go to the movies, rent a movie.  Because when the weather is nice, we don't waste a minute of it in front of the TV or at the movies.  We are boating, fishing, camping, watersking, wakeboarding, just floating in a tube soaking up the sunshine storing it up for a rainy day.  I'm from Sunny San Diego, but moved to beautiful northern Idaho and wouldn't go back for anything.  Not even for constant sunshine.

For a low cost of living and residential rentals and a moderate winter and mild summer check out Iron Mountain Michigan in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. (This is considered a "Banana Belt" for the snow area as snow totals are lower)

Key West for sure.  I was there for January, February and March in 2004, and it was awesome!  You could swim at the beaches without freezing, no problem.
