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

You will need a leash for your board or they will not let you on the lift. Attempt to stretch before you start, but it doesn't matter, the next day you will be so sore you won't want to move. How I taught myself was going up on a steep run, sitting down, and then when you stand up just try and stay almost parallel with the mountain. This will make going on the Heel (or toe, depending on which is most comforable) a whole lot easier and come naturally. If you want to move around from that point just put more force on the foot that you want to lead. Hope you have fun. Are you going to Snoqualmie or Crystal?
