My passion is with road (and lately fixed/track) but I do sometimes mountain bike. Truth be told though, I'm too much of wuss to ever be very good at mountain biking. I just don't want to get hurt. So I get frustrated with always getting off the bike. Also, the guys I ride with are super hardcore and only want to ride the most technically challenging stuff around. If I lived very close to some good, easier trails I'd ride it a whole lot more. Best thing, is no cars!!
