Is there anyway to practice Snowboarding during the summer?

As the others have suggested, Mount Hood (Oregon) is open all summer long for snowboarding or skiing. For future reference, a lot of resorts are still open in June (usually through the first week of July), such as Whistler (Canada), Blackcomb (Canada), A-basin (Colorado), and Snowbird (Utah). Another example that is similar to this is Tuckermans Ravine (New Hampshire). Located on the back of Mount Washington, you have to hike up to the top and ski the steep pitch, but I've been told its completely worth it.

There are a lot of camps, too. High Cascade Snowboard Camp in Mount Hood definitely is the best snowboarding camp. Windells Snowboarding Camp is also a good one (in Mount Hood). For off-snow snowboard camps, I recommend Camp Woodward in Pennsylvania.

If you don't want to attend a camp or invest in a plane ticket, then you can buy turf to snowboard down. If you were willing to invest, you can use Snowflex or some other type of Astro-Turf to build a simulated ski park (they use this kind of material at summer ski camps). Place it on top of a grassy hill and voila! You've instantly got yourself a downhill snowboarding area.

I know you said that you don't skateboard or surf, but another alternative to snowboarding is freebording. Freebording is the closest thing to snowboarding without snow. It has bindings, a board, and wheels. It looks a little bit like a snowboard, too. It also feels the same when your using it. This will be very helpful when you get back on the snow, especially because it will let you work on carving and strengthen the same muscles used for snowboarding.

Good Luck!

You could go to Oregon and ride on Mt. Hood. If you go from the top of Palmer to the bottom of the Magic Mile it will be a pretty long run and you'll be a little tired. That's pretty much your only option if you aren't into freestyle. It wouldn't be a bad idea to try skating and surfing because they are very close to snowboarding. Also, try out Freebording. It is the closest thing to snowboarding and as long as you have some sloped hills near you you can do it all the time.

do no longer waste you funds on windells whilst mount hood summer season ski camp is like 0.5 the fee. only saying. you may continually get some astroturf, build a rail and prepare rails tricks interior the summertime. Wake boarding is such as snowboarding and trampolining is often stunning. Water ramps at places like the olympic training centers at whiteface and in utah ought to help, or experience eh water ramps at ohio desires in ohio.

There are some ways to practice snowboarding during the summer. If you are unable to fly to Oregon then this tip might come in handy. One of the ways to practice is to duct tape the ends of a trampoline and use it for snowboarding.

you could. but depending where you live its going to cost you money. Mt Hood, Oregon has snowboarding year round and half the word has winter while were experiencing summer. there are also many summer snowboarding camps you can check out. if your a begginer High Cascade snowboard camp has a great beggjner program.

if you want to actually be on snow, it'll cost ya... there are summer camps such as Camp of Champions, High Cascade, Mt. Hood, Windells, and Whistler, indoor slopes (i know las vegas is planning one by 2012), and even other countries. ya gotta pay to play

i know you said you're not into skateboarding, but check into flowboards and freeboards. they look like longboards and skateboards, but they're designed to give that snowboard feel. i personally recommend the freeboard, as you can traverse fall lines as well as carve; it just feels right.

if you're broke like us all and you're not into summer board sports i'd suggest cross training by biking. it works out your calves, core, and quads, increases aerobic capacity (a blessing when visiting higher altitudes!), sharpens reflexes and promotes concepts like picking a line, flowing with a fall line, and anticipating what's ahead. if you prefer snowboarding on sketchy, bumpy, backcountry go mountain biking, if you prefer resorts, groomers, and gates get a road bike. plus, it's eco-friendly, gas money can be saved for next season's lift tickets and you'll still be bombing while your buddies bottom out!
