I heard that Seymour is very small and not as fun?

but I just started learning snowboarding, so might not be too much problem for me XDDD
(my bump still hurts from last saturday...........)

Seymour is the smallest in the 3 local mountains but also the cheapest one. For beginner, their bunny slope is really flat, which is good for the starter. But once you get passed the initial phrase, it becomes too flat especially for snowboarder.

However, I wouldn't say it isn't fun for advance skier/snowboarder especially for those willing to go off bound. There are few secret fun up there (another story).

Where did you go for snowboarding last week?

You mean going up on the "Easy Rider" twice. That's pretty good on first day already. (if you actually rode Collins on first day, that would be really impressive)

I'm too scary to try snowboarding even I have been skiing for the last 10 seasons.

This season I will be back onto Cypress as my local mountain (used to be on Grouse for 4-5 years and finally bored out). And Whistler still my Sunday destination whenever I could make it out.

Yeah it was Collins that my friend took me to.....
cuz we spent a bit time on the bunny hill and she taught me the basics and i was finally able to do heel on the 2nd time going down bunny hilll so she said we could just go for collins since it's still same way to go down

and of cuz I have just gone through all those painful days after my first snowboarding experience.....LOL whole body was so sore and got bruise on both knees and even on my butt, plus I felt like energy got so much drained out. Had been strength-less for a few days

That's impressive for first day out.

Collins used to be much narrower, but it was now doubled in width (Olympic construction).

Before X'mas, I helped a Chinese teenager to bring down his skies halfway from Collins. He said his friend asked him to go up Collins since bunny hill was too boring. However, once their went up, his friend soon disappeared and he was too scared to come down. He was on his boot "walking" down when I first talked to him. Your friend is so much better this his.

Skiing (and I could imagine snowboarding too) always used a different set of muscle. After first day out in each season, my muscle always score for couple days too. It will be much better if you keep going up to play. Don't worry.

Does anyone know if you can grab multiple vouchers and go every week or something?

作者: B2L2 時間: 2012-1-11 10:08

Quote from the page: "A voucher from one of our retail partners is required to redeem for a lift ticket. Maximum of two vouchers can be picked up at a retail location at one time."

And yes, you could go multiple nites.
