Question

Answer 1

Keep your knees bent, hands over the tip & tail for balance, use your lead arm and your hips to turn.

If you fall, flip over so you're on your stomach with your board crossways on the slope, brace your toeside edge into the snow, and use your hands to get up.

For future trips, a pair of rollerblade wristguards under your snowboarding gloves are a great way to prevent wrist injuries. I also never go without a helmet, if you fall face first, your board can "scorpion" you in the back of the head.

Good Luck, wish I was going today !
