hello all, i'm just curious if there are any places to snowboard in south carolina. roughly around columbia.

 

You probably want to trade that snowboard in for a surfboard. but their are some nice Ski resorts in the NC/TN border

 

that's what i was afraid of haha. i'm planning on moving out to columbia from california, and i was wondering if there was anywhere close i can board at. thank you very much for your input

 

well I live on the coast. the western people can give you some input

 

Hey milano, closest place for you to snowboard will be about 2 1/2 to 3 hours from columbia

 

that's what i had found. i think greenville had a resort. ugh lol, i've got some time but geez. i'm not moving there for another year but i'm just trying to get a feel for what i'm getting myself into.

 

nah bro, greenville is dry no snow ever, your best bet is to head to asheville, its good, may be fake snow, but thats where I head, and Im actually in Greenville

 

ugh.. i guess i'll just have to deal and make them a weekend trip or something.

 

yeah man thats what i tend to do whenever i get the chance, there are 4 different places you can hit in asheville or around asheville

 

snowshoe WV is the place to go!

I used to go to Cataloochee when I lived in that area....but that link might be a little helpful for you.

 

snowshoe FTW

 

Appalachian Ski Mountain--pretty good place

 

you probably want to get a set of FunSlides

 

we're heading to Columbia area in a week--for a "small" fee, i can leave all our possessions behind and load the u-haul with snow instead. May not make for a huge run, but ( while it lasts ) it could be quite entertaining in the front yard!

 

^^HAHA Very nice

I am actually heading to snow shoe myself next weekend and it will be my 3rd trip out boarding. Thats probably the best place I know between that and Appalachian. (Only ones I've been too)

 

Sugar is actually not that bad (though rather expensive). It has the longest run in NC. App is fun and they have a really good terrain park, but I can't get over the longest run only taking about 58 secs to get to the bottom. Winterplace is a good hill in WV right along I-77 which goes through Columbia if I'm not mistaken. There are options for you as long as you're willing to do some traveling.

 

Leaving for a weekend retreat to winter place tomorrow! Can't freaking wait!

 

I was up there two weekends ago and it was in great shape then...i can only imagine how good the conditions are after the dumping earlier this week...have fun!

 

I will definitely make sure of that!
