Question

Answer 1

Im just learning to snowboard now but Im an advanced skier and I ski all the time in the summer!

I live 15 mins away from a dry-slope ski and snowboard center! :) Haha one time, I was skiing in the summer and it was actually roasting! so I just dropped my poles and was skiing down eating an ice lolly! :D  This is what it looks like:

Also I live 5 mins away from Xcsape, which is just like fake snow! Its the Uk's largest indoor fake snow place! Its sooo much fun and the exact same as real snow! This is it here:

Also I live like 2 hours from the real snow mountains! Quite lucky when it comes to skiing and snowboarding! Hahaa :)

Answer 2

New Zealand and Australia's peak season is in July and August.

As for a place stateside, go to Mt Hood in Oregon their season is almost year round. There are places in the rockies that don't close till may or june.

it would help if I knew where the h**l brampton is.

Answer 3

You can fly to New Zealand, Austrailia, and South America.  They have carpet slopes in Europe that have become popular and they say they are pretty close to snow.  I do not know if there are any in North America.  I don't know where Brampton is so good luck. It all depends on how much you can spend.

Answer 4

There was a movie of three guys who went snowboarding on sand dunes, it was really cool. But I don't think you want to start there. Your best option is to either wait it out, or spend a couple thousand going to another country. OR you can hurry up  and get out to a place right now!

Answer 5

at places where they make fake snow, i was at 1 last nite

Answer 6

There is also Indoor skiing in Europe, Spain, and Mexico. Those go all year, but i doubt that the snow is as good as mother nature's

Answer 7

Winter may seem almost done but there's still another month left at least at most mountains so head out there and learn before it's gone!

Summer boarding isn't terribly common in North America, you'd have to go to the southern hemisphere or up north to Alaska or the territories.  The UK has some indoor fake slopes but I'm not sure if we have any in Canada, let alone near Brampton.
