How do you get off a chairlift on a snowboard?

Question

I'm new to snowboarding and going for pretty much first time tomorrow. I'm absolutely terrified i wont be able to get off the chair lift. how do you get off it and how do you get out of the way before the next person gets there?

Answer 1

It's easy. Just make sure your tip's facing forward and have both feet on the board but ONLY ONE!!! IN TEH BINDINGS. Getting out of the way is easy, you just ride a little bit and turn a little so youre out of their way. Make sure you dont go on any more advanced trails where you could embarrass or injure yourself. DO NOT just sit there and chill right when you get off to do your other foots bindings

Answer 2

Everyone has this problem at first.  Right b4 you're about to get off start sitting a LITTLE sidways (don't fall off the chair!)  and put your front foot foward slightly. As you feel the board hit the snow lower the board so it's flat and put your back foot all the way pressed up against your back binding. It may take practice but after that just glide down the little steep part and you're done!
