Picked skiing, though I'm currently transitioning to snowboarding. I tried it the first time a few years ago, but with a rental board that was poorly maintained and boots with major overhang. Came into the lodge that night, hit the bed at 7:00 pm, and didn't get up again until 9:00 the next morning. It hurt.

Bought my own board this year to force myself to learn it. Gone once so far. There was an awful a lot of ground on that hill, and I hit most of it face-first. But I think I'm starting to get the hang of it.
