Recommendations for nearby winter resorts/mountains to learn to snowboard With all the cold I've been getting the itch to play in the snow. I've never skied or snowboarded, but I always thought it looked like lots of fun! Does anyone have recommendations for nearby (~2hr drive or so) mountains/hills/resorts that would be good for a total noob to learn to snowboard? I saw there's an indoor place in Leesburg, but that doesn't really interest me. I figure I'll give it a shot, and if I really hate it I can always hang out at the bar afterwards :)

I've been hearing a lot about [Whitetail](https://www.skiwhitetail.com). I've been meaning to go but just haven't found the time yet.
Local friends, any recommendations for winter ski resorts (family friendly) within a 2-hr drive of DC? We'd go over a holiday weekend so crowds may be a factor.
