Dallas Snowboarders

Less than two weeks before the bus leaves for Winter Park! We are SO stoked!

For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s the Thanksgiving break ski/snowboarding trip coordinated by the Snowballers Ski Club. We’ve been in contact with Gary several times with questions regarding the trips. This is the first one we’ve been able to go on, and we’re all very excited. The sign up process has been very smooth, and I suspect the trip will be as well. We’ll be sure to post some blogs and photos after we return (and recover…).

We’ve had a great first few weeks so far, meeting many other people from the DFW area who share snowboarding as a passion. We know there are a lot more of you out there! Special thanks to TexasJibba and mapes9999 for their contagious enthusiasm and help in shaping our new community. We can’t wait to meet you all at the upcoming Dallas Snowboarder Drinking Night! (I just might beat you all at darts, too…)

If you’re new to our site and you’re a fellow snowboarder in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, visit our forums and say hi!

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!!!
