Did any snowboarders overcome fear of heights?

Question

I want to snowboard, did anyone here overcome fear of heights to do so? Well I want to do that myself so I can snowboard, it looks like so much fun.

Answer 1

I don't think fear of heights is an issue in snowboarding itself..

are you thinking of heights when you do jumps, or being on a mountain high up...?

anyhow I think the chairlift is the scariest if you're afraid of heights.. but they're pretty safe these days with safety bars and footrests.

I used to be afraid of heights but snowboarding cured that, I wanted to snowboard so I just got out there and ignored the heights issue altogether.

Answer 2

For the chairlift?

Answer 3

If your not hitting big jumps, your fear of heights should have no bearing on your snowboarding. Its not like your going to start out dropping backcounty clifs and stuff. Regular mountains arent intimidating as far as heights are concerned. You will be fine yo.  See you on the slopes

Answer 4

Mine is more of a fear of falling and getting hurt bad. But I'm getting over it by gaining more experience and doing more risky stuff.
