I'm NEVER skiing! 
And you're more than welcome to rub this post in my face in 30yrs, if I ever do!
What mountains have you hit?
I started skiing when I was 11, that was 1983, there might have been a dozen snowboards in Australia back then, and I'm being generous.
None of my mates were into the snow, so I only starting Boarding after family trips had stopped. I love it, but traversing just kills me these days and so much time in/out of your bindings that it spoils my day. Might be different on real mountains, but in oz, we have to make do with what we have.
I've skied Falls Creek and all the NSW resorts, as well as the Remarkables and Coronet peak in Queenstown NZ and a brief run top to bottom at Nagano in Japan.
