i disagree, i think you can take a complete noob and get him carving on a snowboard faster than you could get someone to feel comfortable on skis...

Does anyone do any Alpine Touring? I've never skinned before and had some questions about getting started/slackcountry stuff.

All the time, spent more time on berthoud pass than riding chairs last year. Ask away.

And watches this video series starting here
YouTube - Beginner Snowboard Lesson Part One
Then they can pick up snowboarding. I took a lesson last year, and there were many girls on the lesson hill with their boy friends. They quickly got bored and wanted to leave because they didn't understand what the instructor was trying to teach them. Meanwhile, I knew exactly what he was talking about and knew what to do.

It wasnt that you watched those vids, its that they were girls. if it takes more than 2 brain cells, chicks give up. Cmon thats straight outta the playbook.

Depends where in Colorado.

Aspen, T-ride, Eagle or Summit counties, yes. Denver, other front range places, no ("all the time" defined as a 100+ day season)

Or Snowbird or Solitude

Alta would be sweet but too many knuckledraggers on TW
