Alright boys, winter is here early this year and I don't want to spend the next 6 months lifting in a dark basement. I watched a couple of movies about snowboarding and skiing and this stuff looks pretty fun. Also, I don't want to purchase a 400$ season pass to gain access to mister Goldstein's overcrowded hill.

Anyone have experience with backcountry skiing? Is this thing actually fun or you get bored of it after a couple of week? I tried snowshoeing and I almost felt asleep walking. I wanna go fast and slide down little hills once in a while, nothing too crazy because I'm a boomer already.
