Snowboarding advice

Get lessons! Apart from learning technique, your instructor will know exactly what you are capable of and will know the slopes that you are up to! If he or she is any good, they will continually push you along the learning curve but will do so in a controlled manner. You will not and could easily find yourself out either not pushing yourself enough or taking on too much and finding youself out of your depth on a slope that is beyond your capabilities - this is not fun :!:

I think you can be confident that you'll find it easier than MK in that the slopes will be wider so you'll find it easier to turn and they'll be no jumps or tobbogannning in the way :shock:. definitely book for lessons though, you'll find it a more pleasurable learning experience.

Don't waste money on lift passes until you are ready. Initially it will be enough to find a small, gentle slope at the bottom of the lifts and hike it (a SHORT distance). Once you have mastered that, get find another bit of easy access slope and repeat. Even though it may not be steeper, it will still be different in subtle ways to the other slope - obstacles, camber, snow condition, width etc... so will need new mastering.

Once you've mastered that slop then progress further. Although the lifts look easy to get on/off and the runs look managable from the bottom; it's a different story altogether when you are at the top.

Wait until you have exhausted the easy access (free) slopes at the bottom of the hill before venturing upwards.
