As a snowboarder in training, are any of these spots intriguing for shredding to you?

Well, I will say you guys up North have tons of great skiing too & not just out west near Alberta or BC. In fact, I learned to snow ski for the very first time in Quebec! Also, there is no shame at sitting round the fire with a good toddy just enjoying the snow and watching the skiers. One year I tried snowboarding in Mammoth, California. I was awful. But I did personally love watching the good snowboarders do all their tricks while I sat on the warm out door porch and the Lift Lodge!

Haha, well, I am probably one of the worst skiers ever but I have to say even if I have to drag you around in a Flexible Flyer Red Sled, I would think about checking out any of these cities during winter months for yourself too!

When I lived in San Diego, we went up to Tahoe several times during the summer for various reasons! It is such an easy trip from SoCal in general and that Lake is mind boggling Blue! So though you may not want to shred, there is still tons to do there in any season!

To be honest Cati, I am the worst Skier ever so dont fret. I think if you are getting back into it, perhaps start with South Lake Tahoe. Dont get us wrong, its still one of the best cities for advanced skiers. But they dont always have the big crowds that Denver and Salt Lake City have. Plus, I found that seemed to have more options with their beginner slopes for skiing or snowboarding.

My Family is form Northern Virginia and I believe that they have gone to Deep Creek before. Don’t worry, just because it didnt make our Best Cities for skiers list, I think you will definitely have a blast.
