I'm having my 1st ever snowboard trip on the 21st with my g/friend. Do yo think by the end of the week after all our lessons it would be likely that we could board from the highest slopes to the bottom. Without having a serious accident?re: Boarding Question

re: Boarding Question
if its boro it is possible my other half did it but then he has a hsitory of surfing and skateboarding etc so his balance and confidence is up and me well years later im still a beginneri can get from top to bottom but not on my feet on the board all the way, a lot of wipe outs included for me but is all fun
re: Boarding Question
All depends on your confidence, after a weeks boarding I made it down all the pistes, including the black by the Rila, however I have skateboard history, but go for it, you can always slide down on your heel edge and leave turning to areas you feel more confortable in... if this doesn't make any sence, it will after a your first three lessons.

My Partner came down the red run in Pamps on his second day.
It was mainly on his edge - but he's so terrified of heights that going DOWN the chair lift on his first day nearly gave him a heart attack and he refused point blank to ever do it again.
So the only way was down the red run. (The beginners lessons for boarders are on the nursery slopes at the top of the mountain)
I think if nothing else it gave him confidence.

re: Boarding Question
Cool, thanks for the advice. I'll go for it I think - used to skateboard so have very slight advantage to someone who has never. Chheers, cant wait. 21st of Jan here it comes.re: Boarding Question
Yes you will, Ignore the ignorant skiiers with a bad attitude...you know who you are...There is a nice green down from the Gondola now
remember, If it gets too steep you can always healside edge down.....that really annoys the skiiers
