The reason I started this meetup group is because there have been many times in the past where I have wanted to go snowboarding but everybody was busy!  It's not as fun boarding alone (but I've done it many times)!  As the new ski season approaches, I thought there must be others out there like me, and decided to start this meetup. This meetup is for anyone who skis/boards or anyone who wants to learn.  You can meet up and car pool and have a fun day of exercise, fresh air, and new friends.
