Snowboarding Beginner

Hey there

I am going with my partner to Borovets next weekend, and have booked myself the snowboarding package with Neilson. Has anyone had experience with the instructors this company use?

I am gonna be taking the lessons on my own and meeting up with my partner afterwards. Any tips on how I can handle the chaos of getting organised on my first day?

Are the drag lifts really horrendous for snowboarders?!?

Many thanks

Are you going this weekend or the following (19th)???

Going 19th March

re: Snowboarding Beginner

sorry - we are there this weekend and my hubby is a snowboard instructor so would have asked him to give a "helping hand" if you had been there at the same time. Enjoy yourself and just stay calm - go with the flow and if you fall, you fall, so what!!!

Hi there

You do tend to see more boarders come off the long drag lifts than skiers. Don't worry as eating snow is all part of the fun - enjoy..

re: Snowboarding Beginner

That's a real shame - hope you guys have fun!

Cheers

Cheers Richard - I'll take the advice and keep smiling!!

re: Snowboarding Beginner

Don't eat the yellow snow though.

re: Snowboarding Beginner

and definitely steer clear of the brown!!!

re: Snowboarding Beginner

Thanks guys, I think I've got it now.....be prepared to laugh and prepared to fall - alot - and try to avoid the lemonade and chocolate spots left by fellow beginners!!
