Answer 1

The guy taught the right thing. When that goes well, you can learn to do the same thin on your toeside.  After that you can learn how to turn.  Keep it up and go back for that next lesson!

Answer 2

No! your not supposed to ride horizontal. I think he was prolly teaching you to stop maybe? Im not sure but year ride vertical if you ride horizontal youll just brush all the snow off the slopes.

goodluck!

Answer 3

That's one of the first steps to learning.  You should next learn to do that on your toes and then how to turn and you'll be ready for anything.

Snowboarding takes a few days to a week to get the hang of it so you can ride without falling every fifteen seconds.  Stick with it, when it clicks it's the most comfortable & fun thing ever!
