When you say "mountains", are you refering to places in BC, Alberta, or Quebec? Don't over react to that question if you live in Ontario please... My 9 year old just learned to snowboard last year on a landfill site!

Im talking about Alberta. Lake Louis, Whistler, Marmot.
I have always wanted to learn. I am thinking about giving it a try this year.
Go for it Graham! Its really fun, I started competing last year with a buddy of mine. One thing though, when you start boarding it will be frustrating and hard at first until you learn to carve. So don't give up :P
rasta on snow I have boarded in Whistler, Sunshine Village, Banff, etc. But its been a few years. Sunshine was my favourite. Plan to go back in a few years once my kids have taken up the sport.

G...the best advice I have..GET LESSONS!! Reduce the learning curve and ease some frustration.
I skiied for 15 years before getting on a board...1/2 day of lessons...I will never go back to skiiing..lol..after saying for so many years that I would never board.
I don't board the "hills" per se..as I refuse to pay 50-80 bucks to wait in line. I throw 50 bucks worth of fuel in my sled, and head to the back country. Steep and deep!!!!
