Skis or boards, really depends on what you are more comfortable with on the snow. I have been snowboarding for 20 years and completely SUCK on skis, so I use a snowboard. Daryl on the other hand was on the extreme skiing tour for years, ski patroller at Copper Mountain, etc. is way more comfortable with a pair of skis. Either way if you can fly a kite you can slide around the mountain. Whether you fly is up to you, but practice staying on the ground for a while first and watch some people jump before you try it. Mountains are 3D so it is pretty easy to get WAY up in the air with a quickness if you are going away from the hill. Start small and you will be alright.

It took a little while, but the Utah resorts have finally been getting some much needed snow the past couple of weeks. Here is some video from Snowbird:

Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!

Looking forward to seeing the gang in Utah...
