Just checked - yup - almost exactly the same distance as lost valley. A big longer drive without the highway... I'll definitely check it out!

Thanks for the advice, and I completely agree. I have a feeling that even if she loves it, we likely won't go enough for her to master the sport. Then again, she may become obsessed... So who knows.
I would absolutely agree that skiing is the better casual / part time winter activity. We may end up there in the future...
Thanks again!

Sorry you're getting down voted for your opinion... I totally get where you're coming from, and I agree that skiing is probably the easier route to start. I also don't know what this will turn into... We're actually pretty busy in the winter with my daughter's sports schedule, so this may be a "let's go to lost valley 3-4 times per winter thing... Or even less. Or maybe more... Who knows.
All I know is that she loves the idea of snowboarding, but isn't interested in skiing. I have to respect that, as I felt exactly the same at her age.
Time will tell what this turns into - thank you for the advice!

Yeah, as appealing as Mt Abram and Pleasant are, Lost Valley is incredibly close - it would save us over 2 hours in traveling alone. We will likely start there, and then venture out beyond if we get hooked. Thanks for the advice!

Thank you so much for the advice! All of that makes sense 😊
We drive by Lost Valley frequently in the summer - I'll definitely check that out! I like the hill rather than mountain idea a lot!
