Don't get much snow in good old England, but when we do I like to improvise. When I was around 15, I ripped the trucks of an old skateboard deck (I used to skate for years), screwed a block of wood at one end and proceeded to 'snowboard' down a huge hill near my house. I reaslised after a while that they make the real snowboards big and long, and put boots on them for a reason haha good times!
