Best place to live and snowboard?

Jason, if you are interested in surfing, you should look over on the
alt.surfing newsgroup. More lively than this group with a few
disproportionately vocal PNW'ers.

Yeah, I've skimmed there a bit to find out the well known local spots,
board advice, etc. "lively" is one way to put it :P.

Good meeting you at Mt Hood BTW.

Sorry, having trouble matching names faces and emails. Is this Thomas?
I didn't meet anyone I didn't like that weekend, so I can still say
with certainty it was nice meeting you .

I guess growing up in the cold water might have something to do with it. I
used to wear a 4mil shorty when I was in high school (before I knew better).
If I'm able to make it back out in the water this summer we should go.
Short Sands in August/September is always nice plus its a good place to
learn (despite the hike in). I've got an extra board and wetsuit (4/3) if
it would fit.

Yup, I went to short sands a couple times last summer. About drowned
myself a few times as well... now I know that I should spend time just
catching the mush waves way inside and learn how to pop up, control
where I'm going, and build some paddle endurance before I go back to
getting outside.

I'm sure I'll be there with some regularity on the weekends this
summer. Drop a line if you're headed down this way. Are there any
other spots on the coast around here that have the offshore winds in
the summer?

Yes, Corbeau is Thomas but Thomas isn't usually Corbeau. ;-

Corbeau is simply raven in french to tie with my domain
'crowmountain.net' a literal translation of Mitsuko's last name.

As you're only going for the white water at the moment, I wouldn't worry
too much about offshore winds. Onshores will mess things up for the clean
waves, but it doesn't make a whole lot of difference for beginners. I was
only telling a friend the other day how "lucky" beginners are, because
they can go out and ride virtually anything.

Course, onshores are good for windsurfing, so it's always good
