Winter Sports

I play hockey and snowboard.

 

I'm pretty new to boarding. This is my third winter doing it. Hit my first jump last week. Been playing hockey for a long time now. There were plenty of city leagues and whatnot that I could have played for but the schedule for the games always conflicted with my schedule in college. I just graduated so and I think there is a summer league next year. Hopefully I will be able to get on one of the summer teams. For now I just play in pick up games at the local rink.

 

Last year I went out and bought a nice package. I got a DC board, boots and bindings for three hundred and some odd dollars. Not having to rent makes my life so much easier.

 

Hopefully i can revive this thread a bit.

I just recently discovered that my mothers recently deceased uncle left her his home(which is about 3 to 4 hours from where i currently live). He lived about an hour away from a local ski resort and she is renovating the house to give it more of a "log cabin" type feel, anyway, now that i know of this i plan to really pick up snowboarding. Iv done it a few times and it was something that iv always wanted to really pick up but i never saw myself doing it that often as i didnt really have the means to. Any way, i had a few questions that hopefully some of you can answer.

What are some good brands of boards to consider? I know Burton is one of the more common, but they also seem to be a bit pricey, altho im not looking for anything super cheap. I dont mind paying for quality. Is it better to buy bindings and boards in a package or does it really matter? Also, what are some good tips to keep in mind when actually getting onto the slopes? Any help would be appreciated.

 

I wanted to learn this one out but I'm really scared. I just don't know why. I love watching it on tv but I'm afraid to try it. Any advice guys? Thanks.

What are all of the winter-season sports in high school and college?

My school has wrestling, basketball, and swimming. I know that hockey is also a winter sport, but are there any others?

 

I like winter hockey as well!

I like snowboarding and ice hockey.

 

I have been snowboarding for 4 years but it is just a hobby
