What is everyone's favorite type of terrain to skiboard on...i.e. where do you spend most of your time when on the mtn?

My choice is somewhat obvious, although its almost a toss up with the parks...

Mine is a toss up between trees and groomed trails.. I chose groomed trails though as that's where I generally stick to for the most part.

Anywhere difficult enough to keep 99.9999% of other mountain users away!

1 - parks
2 - powder
3 - back country (noticed ur missing this)
4 - trees
5 - groomed trails

though i definitely enjoy them all, i could do only groomed trails for the rest of my life and still love skiboarding

Moguls are my fave by a long way!

It seems to me that Skiboards are viwed as a snowsport for terrain parks, because when I was riding for the first time, everybody who questioned my skiboards asked, "So are those things for tricks only?".

Moguls are lots of fun, though it's a real knee workout and when you loose your "flow" you will have the moguls controlling you instead of you controlling the moguls. People who have ridden moguls probably know what I mean.

When I go up to a mountain I want to hit up every single trail at least once.

I've gone plenty of days without leaving the park, I spend any other time mostly on groomers. Not tons of pow at the places where I ski.

its got to be trees. i also like soft moguls, after the powder has been packed a bit, but after a few feet of powder, i just sink in, i usually rent long skis for powder days

I like groomers... but have yet to try powder on anything apart from pooblades, and they were imo poor for the job. I seem to be able to control myself well on ice on skiboards for some reason (you would think the opposite since there's less edge but hey..) I find moguls a bit tough on the old legs since I aint the lightest skiboarder out there :p

I'd have to say groomed trails. That's the terrain that I at least am most comfortable with.
