West VA is close to Kentucky and has a lot of excellent slopes. Try places like Vermont or Colorado if your family plan a vacation during the winter.
14 is not too old to learn to snowboard. you may be more afraid to fly down the mountain at first but you will pick things up quick. (BE PREPARED TO FALL A LOT AT FIRST THOUGH…)

You’re never too old to learn how to snowboard, but especially at 14, you won’t have any trouble learning at all. The key to learning quickly is to balance being “on the edge”. As you’re learning, if you feel comfortable and “safe” every moment, during every turn, you’re not going to learn fast. It will come, but slowly. On the flip-side, if you go all out every moment, and over-step your boundaries, you’ll get hurt. The ideal way is to be in-between the two. Coming out of your comfort zone without doing something crazy. The key to progression involves some uneasiness.
Keep that in mind, and with the help of an instructor and/or someone who’s been doing it for a long time, you’ll do fine and learn quickly.
As for locations, you can take winter trips to Colorado or Utah, but you’ve got a place called Paoli Peaks in Indiana that might be good for weekend trips if/when you can’t do a long trip. 4 or 5 days straight of solid riding and you should be carving down some intermediate terrain (blue runs).

Als u van het beste wilt leren, kom hier:
It' s een ontzagwekkend de zomerkamp. De jonge geitjes van overal ter WERELD komen hier elke zomer. Zijn binnen Oregon, bij MT. kap.
Timberline heeft rond sneeuwjaar. Het kamp werd zelfs bijgewoond door een aantal van de meest succesvole pro' s daar. Ik ging daar vorig jaar en het was ??n van de meest funnest dingen i' ooit gedaan ve. Zij onderwijzen jonge geitjes van elk niveau.

Um I wissen nicht von, wo der nähste Platz zum Brett ist, aber 14 definetely nicht zu alt ist zu beginnen. Ich begann, als ich 20 war, jedoch, das ich in Freistil bmx für 3 Jahre vorher war. Die Hauptsacheleute verwirren oben auf sind ihre Furcht, dass sie unten fallen. Das ist, warum ich die Leutepraxis vorschlage, die abfällt, bevor sie sogar beginnen zu verschalen. Sobald Sie vorbei erhalten, dass Furcht der Rest gerade Praxis und bei 14 you' nimmt; ll erhalten vermutlich den Fall von ihm schnell. Gutes Glück und ist sicher

Well if I was you I would come up here to West Virginia. There is winterplace and snowshoe. Winterplace is my home resort and it is the most mellow in the state. So if you are wanting to learn id say go to winterplace cuz its way smaller and a better place to learn. Snowshoe is alot bigger, and is more advanced. The age 14 is actually a pretty good age to start thats the age most the girls i know started at, and as of your surfing/snowboarding question i wouldnt know but id def stick with snowboarding since is more avalible for me. But yeah just go a check out the ski resorts web sites just search winterplace ski resort West virginia.
