The Time

Some of the best times of year to ride are early winter or late fall, and early spring. The prices at snowboard resorts are lower, and you have better and longer hours of sunlight.

The theme for spring and fall boarding is "Go North, or Go to Europe." There isn't a lot of snow in New Hampshire in November, but there is in Canada. Take the kids to British Columbia during Thanksgiving, and it will be a weekend you'll always remember.
