Where are my fellow Seattle(area)ites?

Anyone going this year? I'm a new guy here and I'd love to meet some people and learn. -
Hi there, thank you for all the info here. I will keep in mind to look for people to ride with. I have been snowboarding since I was a kid and I think I can carve okay in a regular snowboard. It won’t win me any awards but it won’t make me look like a fool either. I really appreciate you mentioning used gear. I think it’s a great way to start a hobby. Do you happen to remember where you saw that gear? I’m too new to even know what that is but you kinda made it sound it’s a good deal, so I can start looking from there. Thanks again! Stevens Pass and Crystal in WA. How can I look for people who can show me how to ride? I just went this weekend and saw no alpine snowboarders

Thank you for the warm welcome Charlie! My name is Daniel. Nice to meet you. I live in Bothell and Stevens Pass is easier for me to get to than Crystal. But those two are where I snowboard mostly. I’ve skied from 6-9 y/o and have been snowboarding almost every winter ever since. I’m now in my late 20s. I have been moving around thanks to Army and I couldn’t keep any snowboarding equipment, so I currently have no equipment. I’m now settled in one place so I’m thinking about getting my own equipment and keep them. I wear 10 boots, 5’ 11’’, 170 lbs. If you think back to your first alpine snowboarding equipment, what did you like/didn’t like? How did you decide to get them over other options? I’ll definitely check out those two places you mentioned and look for answers for these questions there as well. Thanks again!

Hi everyone, I have always been interested in alpine snowboarding, but I think I’m going to finally get into it this year. But how and where do I start? Is it so different from regular snowboarding that you need to take separate lessons? And is there a place in WA where I can rent a board and try before I purchase a board? I see that alpine snowboarding is very niche, so it seems rather difficult to find any useful information. Any words would help me a lot! Thanks all!
