>>1399569Honestly, as a snowboarder of 14 years who started at age 10, I really regret not having gotten into skiing from the get go instead. I was all hopped up on Tony Hawk PS2 games and wanted to do something with “boarding” in its name. Don’t get me wrong, it’s been fun, but there’s far less utility and cross-discipline applicability to boarding vs skiing. One day when I have the income to do so, I’ll make the switch, but for now my meager discretionary funds are sunk into boarding so a boarder I remain. You can pay for one on one lessons at most mountains if you don’t want to be learning with zoomers, but it’ll cost more than group lessons.
TL;DR take up skiing (especially XC), snowshoeing, or what
>>1399579 suggested, don’t fall for the boardmeme
