There's no great secret to good times at the resort; there's no VIP area, no velvet rope to wait behind until your number comes up. That said, it does help to have a board that comfortably eats up terrain like the Gnu Asym Velvet C2 Snowboard. It's a capable all mountain twin with a twist, designed to complement the body's natural asymmetry with a softer core and shorter radius on the heel-side for better response and a velvety smooth feel that'll keep you hopping back on the lift for one more lap.
