Snowboarding
It's very possible I am snowboarding this weekend. I've gone skiing before, only twice, but I picked it up pretty well. Not skiing black diamonds yet, but I'm doing decently well on the intermediate slopes. I heard it was easier to learn how to ski before snowboarding so I hope that's true? But I think I will be getting a lesson from an instructor at the mountain for snowboarding... I was just wondering if anyone had any tips for someone who is new to this? Thanks!

It's really tough at first, but by the second day of me snowboarding I was able to get down the hill just falling a few times. Honestly, you're gonna fall - a lot. My tip is to always get back up. Don't give up, because once you get the hang of it it's so much easier. The first time down a hill I thought I was gonna die and it took me like 45 minutes to get down it haha. Basically just try to stay on an edge or else you'll most likely fall down. WEAR A HAT! I didn't once and yep, I regretted it.

i took my friend snowboarding a few weekends ago. she had never been on skiis or a snowboard, we took a lesson together and by the end of the day she could make it down an intermediate hill without falling. snowboarding is alot of fun. skiing is easier to learn but snowboarding is easier to get better at. we're going back this weekend. don't give up, and listen to what the instructor tells you. wear loose but warm clothes because you have to bend alot, my friend wore a full body carhart suit...not good. so just some snowpants and a jacket is good, but dont layer up much. oh and never lean towards downhill, you will fall over and probably flip depending on how fast you're going, i learned what happens when you do very quickly

I live close to a ski mountain and used to ski nearly every weekend. One time I tried snowboarding and it was very difficult. I think once you are good at skiing it is more difficult to snowboard, so you are in good shape so far. You will fall A LOT. Everybody does. One thing that took me forever to figure out was the best way to get up. Roll onto your stomach first (facing uphill) and get up using your knees. If I had figured that out right away my snowboarding experience would have been much better. Just practice and try not to get frustrated. Have fun too!

Mhm. It's very, very difficult to snowboard if you haven't completely mastered skiing yet. My brother tried to, and after three days of falling down all day, he switched back to skis.
You have to remember that when you turn to lean in. That's really important to remember.
And, in my opinion, the most important thing is, if you're nervous, scared, intimidated, fall down. Flat on your butt. You'll stop, you'll get your barings and you'll be ready to go.
Have fun, be save, stay warm :]
