Thanks for the tip - I appreciate it!

Just checked - yup - almost exactly the same distance as lost valley. A big longer drive without the highway... I'll definitely check it out!

Thanks for the advice, and I completely agree. I have a feeling that even if she loves it, we likely won't go enough for her to master the sport. Then again, she may become obsessed... So who knows.

I would absolutely agree that skiing is the better casual / part time winter activity. We may end up there in the future...

Thanks again!

Sorry you're getting down voted for your opinion... I totally get where you're coming from, and I agree that skiing is probably the easier route to start. I also don't know what this will turn into... We're actually pretty busy in the winter with my daughter's sports schedule, so this may be a "let's go to lost valley 3-4 times per winter thing... Or even less. Or maybe more... Who knows.

All I know is that she loves the idea of snowboarding, but isn't interested in skiing. I have to respect that, as I felt exactly the same at her age.

Time will tell what this turns into - thank you for the advice!

Yeah, as appealing as Mt Abram and Pleasant are, Lost Valley is incredibly close - it would save us over 2 hours in traveling alone. We will likely start there, and then venture out beyond if we get hooked. Thanks for the advice!

Mt Abram is getting recommended a lot here! Definitely going to check it out! Thanks! 😊

Awesome! Thank you for the advice!

That's a recommendation that I did come across in the past - will definitely look into it!

Thank you so much for the advice! All of that makes sense 😊

We drive by Lost Valley frequently in the summer - I'll definitely check that out! I like the hill rather than mountain idea a lot!
