What can I do to convince my parents to take me on a trip out west to snowboard?

I have been snowboarding for three years and absolutely love it. My family can fly for free because my father used to work in the airline industry. We have gone everywhere that everyone else wants to go. I want to go snowboarding on a real mountain instead of a little hill. please give me advice so I can get through to them!

If they don't ski or snowboard and have no interest in taking it up then you should give them ideas for what they can do while on vacation to wherever you'd go.
