Me and a couple of friends are coming over on 12th January 2013, staying at the Monzano Apts. A long long time away, I wish it was sooner! What is the weather generally like at this time of the year? Do you have much snow and is it a good time of the year for snowboarding? We'd also need some gear, which I understand we can get the boots & boards from Rentaski, along with lift passes?
