  I recently purchased a Burton Performer snowboard and I enjoy it 
immensely! So far I've been unable to try it out on any challenging
slopes; no, I'm not a hotdogger, just an avid skier and skateboarder
who decided to try a combination of the two; also, here on the East
Coast and especially in my home state of PA there seems to be downright
persecution of snowboarders. In fact, the only place in the state that 
has allowed use of them to my knowledge is a tiny bunny hill known as
Chadds' Peak, only a twenty-minute drive for me, fortunately.

 I would appreciate it if anyone who has any information about where on the
East Coast (particularly near PA) snowboards are both legal and welcome.
Chadds' Hill and the local golf courses are beginning to look all the same
to me! :-)

 Also, Burton has a videocassette called "Winter Waves" about 'boarding.
I saw it the other night, and some of the footage is incredible! All in 
all, a good orientation to the fledgling snowboarder.

                                
                                             See you on the slopes...
