Welcome
It’s October 2006, and we’re proud to tell everyone that Dallas Snowboarders now have a community forum. This site was built by snowboarders from Dallas who want a community forum and want to bring recognition to the large number of snowboard enthusiasts deep in the heart of Texas.
What? Snowboarders in Dallas Texas!?
Absolutely! There’s no time like now for Dallas Snowboarders to step up and represent. Besides being a day’s drive from the Rockies, Dallas is on the verge of getting it’s own snow park (the Coolzone Winterplex). Now those of us who could only afford to travel to the Rocky Mountains periodically can spend time developing our skills right here at home.
One local water and snow sports shop recently told me that, even with lakes all around us, they sell more snow sports goods than water. Another local ski shop told me that 40% or more of their customers are snowboarders. Both shops said that each season they see more and more snowboarders. You could say that we are at the threshold of the birth of a new scene.
Strength in Numbers
Burton’s new movie, For Right Or Wrong, is touring the world. North American stops include: California, Colorado, Utah, Oregon, Vancouver BC, Toronto, Vermont, and New York. Not only is the list lacking Dallas, it’s lacking anywhere remotely close to Dallas. Some would say that’s because we don’t have mountains with snow on them. To these people, I say, “so what!?” We’ll put carpet on a hill if we have to. Bring to us your movie premiers! For we are Dallas Snowboarders!!!
