Well it depends on East Coast vs. West Coast...\n\nEast Coast:\n\n1) Sugarloaf/USA, Maine\n2) Killington, Vermont\n3) Whiteface, New York\n4) Mount Snow, Vermont\n5) Sunday River, Maine\n\nWest Coast:\n\n1) Snowbird, Utah (Snowboarders aren't allowed at Alta)\n2) Lake Tahoe, California\n3) Park City, Utah\n4) Whistler/ Blackcomb, British Columbia, Canada\n5) Winter Park/ Mary-Jane, Colorado\n\nAlso, I don't know as much about West Coast ski resorts, because I am from the East Coast, but I have been out there 4 or 5 times, and had good expiriences (or heard) good things with/ about all of those. I personally like Sugarloaf/USA for the East the most, because, well, that is where I ski all winter ;-) For the West I like Snowbird, they get a lot of snow each year. This year they had over 450" of base...

Ride a lot, compete and win, get in with some photographers and get published...there are lots of ways but those are the most straight forward. Where do you ride? The best way to get better and get noticed is to ride at a bigger mountain that has a large base of high-talent riders. And it isn't necessarily what you know but who you know. If you get in with the right people and make a name for yourself then you'll be one step closer.\n\nMy advice, just ride and have fun. Don't worry about being pro or getting sponsored. That isn't what snowboarding is all about.

If you go on ebay and search for a snowboard, you can find complete snowboard packages for pretty inexpensively. And all you're really looking for is a cheap board and some good inexpensive boots. The most important thing to do with your board is to get it edged and waxed before you go. Any board is good with the proper care. Got to ebay, look in the newspaper, and try these sites\nwww.shopzilla.com\nwww.shopping.com\nwww.backcountryoutlet.com

i started with a package deal.. a brand called axis.. it included the board, boots, and bindings for about 300.. its a great beginner board, i never had any problems with it.. if i were you id look into some kind of package deal like that.. if you go to a snow sports store and ask them about it theyll prolly have something for you...im not really a fan of the whole renting idea.. its usually espensive enough for the lift ticket, i wouldnt wana be spending another 20, 30 bucks a pop for a daily snowboard.. i mean if you wanted to see what snowboarding is like, that might be a good idea but if youre pretty positive your going to stick with it, buying you own is the way to go

Depends on what kind of snow and terrain you want.  If you like hard snow, the East Coast, especially Vermont, is probably best.  Utah and the Rockies get probably the best powder on average.\n\nCalifornia resorts probably have the best halfpipes, Mammoth Mountain had several Olympians in the recent Games.  The grooming is excellent, and the powder at Mammoth and the Lake Tahoe resorts is very good.

I am an avid skier and outdoor enthusiastic (as you can see from my avatar). I recently found a site called www.evogear.com that sells ski, snowboard, and wakeboard gear. They have the best customer service, very low prices, and the coolest gear on the planet. I think they are based in Seattle, WA. I have never had a bad experience with them and I've placed four orders!

Due to the fact that skiing is a little easier to pickup I would say start there, to not only pick up skiing but the rule on the mountains, that way if you still want to learn snowboarding you just have to worry about not landing on your backside.

if you are a beginner at snowboarding you need to get an instructor they are very helpful! my step brother has been workin at ski resorts for a very long time so i have been snowboarding and skiing. its very fun. the first thing you need to do is if your snowboarding is stay on the bunny hill for a while to get used to snowboarding than work your way up ask some people to help you better understand it more and find a ski resort with a lot of snow

Snowboarding is amazing! I used to love skiing but ever since I strapped on the snowboard ten years ago, I have an attachment: so much so that I competed in snowboarding competitions for two years! It rocks! \n\nSkiing is Safer\nSkiing is more Controlable\nSnowboarding is def. more fun to watch!!!

I LOVE Sugarloaf/USA. It is where I ski all winter. It has a bunch of different terrain, for all levels. It is the second biggest mountain in Maine, so it has a lot of terrain to choose from. It has great ski programs, where you can schedule a private lesson, or groups lesson. It has a lot to do off the slopes too. The atmosphere is so friendly everywhere, and I think that everyone is treated like a local. There are so many great restaurants to choose from, depending on what you want.

My first few rides (season) were great, but I fell alot. I never rode one of those bud boards. Snowboard bindings are important. The bindings should clamp your feet/boots onto the board, like pedals on a bike. There's always time to snowboard. Use your front foot to steer. Wear gloves and a helmet.

Red Top Mountain State Park is a great place. I hope this helps
