Make a backyard set up, a rewarding experience because you get to ski something that you built yourself!

Alright, here's what you do next: Buy 4 or 5 snowboards/pairs of skis, buy a $700 plane ticket to Chile, Argentina, or some place where gear is ridiculously overpriced, and sell the gear. That will give you enough of a profit to take care of the plane ticket, and everything else down there is cheaper than it is in the states anyway. You're welcome.

join the cult "Build-A-Jib" and start skiing on astroturf in the summer! It took me three summers of failure to get a good set up that works, but it's definately worth it

other things
-trampoline
-maybe skating
-go to gymnasiums and learn flips and stuff, i learned backflips on the ground last summer

Whoa.  I think you just planned my summer.  How much is the mark up over there?

Oh and you could always tell your parents your gay and buy some lollerblades.

*try longboarding, carving concrete feels very much like carving snow,

*you could also try slacklining to improve your balance, especially on rails but also in general

*just watch tons of edits

*and yes, try some backyard setup, im starting the construction of mine this  weekend, im so stoked!

*Or you could pick up a summer sport as i do, in winter i go skiing and in summer i go climbing and i go diving...

freeride mtb.
just like skiing, it's all about you, the hill, and the flow. you just get into that zone and you cannot get out. nothing else matters.
