Lake Tahoe move for a non-skier? (fit in, place to live, moving to)

[..Shorty..]

Hey,
I am considering moving to Lake Tahoe to be with my boyfriend. I've been there 4 times and it is an absolutely beautiful area. I love to hike, swim, and fell in love with the lake. He is an avid snowboarder. The only problem is, I don't ski/snowboard. Would it be crazy to make the move? Any comments? Thanks....

What kind of monetary values are we working with here, Shawty?

well....have you considered learning?? It's not that hard to ski/snowboard. You could learn in a day and be pretty good after a season. It's like learning to ride a bike.

I have tried once before, and was better than I had anticipated. I’m definitely open for trying again this season. I get the vibe that there is a subculture based on skiing…I guess I am nervous about not fitting into that aspect of the area.

…Thanks 4 the posts…

Yeah give it a shot. Recreational skiing is easy and very fun. I try and make it at least once a season.

Competitive skiing can be very difficult.

You'd be surprised at the number of people that live there that don't ski. I wouldn't worry about it unless you have a need to be around him at all times and can't let him ski on his own.

I lived there and didn't ski. Many of my friends didn't either. If you want to learn, great, but you'll fit in just fine. It's a great place to live.

...good stuff. I def have no problem w/him hittin' the slopes by himself. I think I'll have a go at it recreationally....if it doesn't work out then there are plenty of other activities that I'm looking forward to.
