Not an avid skier by any means, but the 3 or 4 times I've gone I enjoyed it. All of my skiing had been done on the east coast. Last trip was in 2006, to Winterplace Ski Resort in West Virginia. Also been to Boone in NC and Snowshoe in WV, and I believe one other place but can't recall where.
Been saying for the last 4 or 5 years that I was going to go again, but always found an excuse in school or work to put it off. Well this year I didn't give myself the opportunity. On Wednesday I booked a trip to Vail, CO for the 19-22 of this month. Doing something new all around, a few firsts on this trip.
First time
While I'm doing all these firsts, wandering if I should add another to the list. First time snow boarding? All I've ever done is ski. Never been too sure about strapping both feet to the same board, but have to admit that it does kinda look fun. Not sure if I want to take a chance and try a board or if I want to stick with what I know and get the skis. How hard is the transition from skis to a board?

First time
- skiing in real snow
- flying commercial by myself (I prefer driving)
- commercial flight with more than one stop
- further west than Alabama (been north as far as NY, but never west)
- dropping this much money on a trip at the last minute
