I live nowhere near mountains. I’ve tried looking for areas to go snowboarding and even for lessons in the phonebook but i can’t find any (it only listed stores that sells equipment). There’s not even an indoor boarding area.
I wanna learn to snowboard so bad. Winter is coming and I dunno what to do. Otherwise, I guess I’ll stick to skateboarding…
hmm, Oklahoma is a tough spot if you wanna learn how to board. I’d suggest road tripping it (or flying if you have the cash) to Colorodo or Utah if you are looking for a real big mountain, but there are slightly smaller places in new mexico and arizona that are probably more beginner friendly and cheaper. I’d also suggest going for at least 3 days if not 4 or 5 because if you go only 1 or 2 days a year, you will never get the hang of boarding (skiier myself, but i occasionally board and have to reteach myself every time). heres a cool website that i always use to find out where the snow is and whats open: http://www.onthesnow.com/
apparently there is some skiing in Missouri but i highly doubt it’s worth the trip or the stay. If i were you id opt for a mid size resort somewhere in New Mexico, because at your distance it wouldn’t be worth the time and money to go to a tiny resort
hope this helps, and good luck with boarding

Go to an indoor snowboarding area or drive to a summit that is closest to you.
