I wish it would snow...

I know many people don't like snow all that much, but I would much rather it be cold and snowing than just plain cold. The reason for these feelings is the fact that I really enjoy snowboarding and haven't gotten a chance in quite a while. Last season I could hardly afford to go and when I actually could space the money, there wasn't any good snow. I have to make up lost time and from what I hear, we are really in for it within the next 24 hours (6-12" expected). I really want to go to Alpine Valley because it has the biggest hills within an hour drive and the scenery is very nice also. Mount Brighton is close too, but in my opinion it is more geared to freestyle riding, like jumps and rails etc. I'm more partial to carving down the slopes really fast, getting back on the lift, and doing it all over again. Hopefully I get some good opportunities to go in the near future.
