Intermediate
Beginner/Intermediate snowboarder looking for someone who would like to travel to the USA in 2011 for a few weeks snowboarding in Colorado. Have to pay own way, but willing to share cost as this makes it cheaper. If you want to travel anywhere else contact as I'm always up for the discussion to see if something can be worked out.

About Snowboarding in Australia
Snowboarding is a thrilling winter sport that combines elements of skateboarding and surfing on snow-covered slopes. From freestyle park riding to carving groomed runs and backcountry free-riding, snowboarding has a welcoming culture and a broad range of disciplines for every ability level.
Getting Started
Beginner snowboarding lessons are available at all Australian ski resorts and typically teach falling safely, basic turns, and stopping over one or two days. Equipment hire on-site keeps initial costs low. Most resorts also offer beginner-friendly 'magic carpet' tow lifts and gentle learning areas.
Snowboarding in Australia
Australia's snowboarding scene is centred on the resorts of New South Wales and Victoria. Thredbo, Perisher, Mt Buller, and Falls Creek all have excellent terrain parks and halfpipes. The Australian Alpine season runs from approximately June to September. Find snowboarding partners near you on Sports Match Maker.
