Default Best place to snowboard, locally?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/52926/r8_after.jpg"></center><p>Of course gramps gave my kid a snowboard;
and after conquering Mt.Trashmore in Evanston, we're ready to take on something bigger. He's 7 and I'm 43, where can we get some lessons that don't cost an arm &amp; a leg?
Also we came in 4th with our R8 entry in the "Pinewood Derby". A girl was the overall winner, I think her dad works for NASA or something...
thanks,

Default Both Wilmont and Alpine are both close kiddie hills and pretty cheap...

But no matter what fake snow is going to suck and probably be icy.

Default did they measure the cars to see if they were up to spec?

rules say a car can only be so long... lenthen the wheel base by as little as a 1/4 inch and the thing will blow anything else away.
