I never snowboarded but I would ski.
Been to Breckenridge many time and also Winter park.Nice place and ALOT of fun.
You will have a blast.I would recommend getting lessons if you have never done it.
it is pretty simple once you catch on.
You need a mask,gloves and insulated underwear IMO.LOL It gets COLD on the top of that mountain trust me.
Skiing in a snow storm is a bitch to.LOL

first time i ever went i tried snow boarding. Seriously it took me 3 days just go 50 yds with out fallin on my ***. I have always been fast on pickin things up, but it was just hard to do. get an instructor, i tried it once before i got to my instructor and that was the hardest fall i had.

LOL Well get ready,cause this cold here is nothing compared to there!!LOL Especially on the top of that mountain if you do the blues or better yet black diamonds or double black diamonds.
Start off on the bunny hill,blue is intermediate and the black diamond is though and double black diamond is really tough.If you get on the black diamonds you will also have mogels,they are the humps on the mountain and ona double black they are pretty tough but alot of fun.I would not recommend messing with those until you get pretty good though
