Snowboard.  I used to get up to WI to go 10-15 times a year, now seems like pulling teeth to go once a year.  May resort back to skiing this year, my two daughters want to learn (4 & 6) and it is kinda hard to teach skiing when I'm on a board!  Never done any "real" skiing on a mountain, only our "mountains" in the midwest.
P.S.
Much like my waterskiing/wakeboarding abilities, I'm no good at it, but I have fun and bystanders get a laugh.

I grew up skiing then switched to snowboarding for a few years but this year I've switched again to skiing. Just went for the first time of the season today. I also took my 2 year old son snow skiing for the first time  today which was a lot of fun.

I used to snow ski  almost every day when I lived in western mass. Now I live in Tn. and the opportunity just isn't there. I really miss it though!!!

I ski but after joining the racquet club last year, the decision was.....pay court fees and be indoors at 68 degrees or pay for a lift ticket and be outside freezing.  Didn't ski much last year.
