I grew up in IL and frequented raging all the time seeing as it was 10 min from my house.

I wish we could. We're greatly outumbered though. Everyone knows that all the cool kids snowboard. I swear, every weekend boarder I know from around my area (Joliet) spends more time either dragging their knuckles, strapping in, or sitting down at the top of the park. Oh, and Alpine is the worst hill that I've ever skied at, even below Four Lakes, that's saying something.
