Who was a gold medalist in snowboarding?

Because snowboarding can be done in so many different ways, there is and may never be a world snowboarding champion. Some snowboarders dominate the type of snowboarding they do. For example, Simon Chamberlain seems to be the best street snowboarder, but my guess is that he isn't very good at downhill racing because of his time spent street snowboarding.

Where is the best mountain for snowboarding?

Well this is a very broad question. It depends on where you live. On the east coast or 'ice coast' you will find good smaller resorts like LOON and Waterville Valley. In the Mid West there are some decent resorts in Northern Michigan like Boyne and Crystal Mountain but your best bet would be Blue Mountian, ON. Out West the amount of great snowboarding is endless. Anything in Colorado or Utah will satisfy your needs. Big Bear California is a great small resort where the whole mountain is a terrain park. Also Mamoth, and Tahoe in CA are great. Mt. Baker WA and Mt. Hood OR are also 2 of my favorites.

Who makes 5150 snow boards?

No, they're a decent board for beginners, but I wouldn't call it a good brand. If you're new to snowboarding I always suggest going used until you decide you're into the sport. You can get a used set up from a reputable brand for the same price or less than buying a "cheaper" brand new. Some good brands are Burton, Ride, Rome, Lib Technologies, Gnu, M3, Forum, and DC has also started making boards that are pretty nice. Along with Nitro, they used to make beginner boards but have upped their quality the past few years.
