Ok so Im going snowboarding for the 1st time this Friday. Im scared! Im going with Jason and he hasnt been for 2 years so he should be pretty close to where i am. I wanna go on the chairlifts that day so i need some pointers on how to get off! i dont wanna fall (i know it will happen)
And what do i need gear wise? Im renting board and boots - though I want my own but no use in buying it before i try it! I already have a Helly Hanson Jacket and a pimp snow hat! ;-) Im going to buy Pants Goggles Gloves Anything else? -------------------- Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City

Two words: wrist braces.
You're going to either be landing on your backside or your hands (sometimes both at the same time) -- and it's no fun to break a wrist. |
