Attention all beginer, intermediate, and pro snowboarders!?

Question

Hey,

Yesterday was my first time snowboarding! It was quite an experience at first (ouch my Buttocks!), but after 4 hours of boarding, my wipeouts were fewer and longer in between.

So I was wondering, how long did it take you to board well and with confidence?

Long live the white stuff! ;)

Answer 1

about 4 lessons sets (each a week long) and i was comfortable

Answer 2

2 seasons

Answer 3

practice, practice, practice.... seasons dont really matter because i know people have ridden for years but only go a few times a year... my first year i worked at a mountain so i got out over 100 times and by the end of my first season i was very confident... dropping cliffs, doing rails, straight lining....  your cofidence will also depend on the conditions...

Im blessed because i live in Vancouver BC and have access to lots of amazing mountains (whistler/mt baker/local mt's...etc) I have way more confidence to push myself when the snow is deep and the visability is clear... if you are stuck on a small icy hill...im sorry! move west!

Answer 4

1 season

Answer 5

by the end of the 2cd day i started gettin more control and the 3rd day i was completely comfortable with the board

Answer 6
