Hum, propabally not the black runs, but if you stick at it and test yourself you should be able to pick it up ok.

Yeah it may hurt a bit, but you will get better much quicker... You need ...

Hi there!
Just got back from Borovets and had my 1st snow boarding holiday.
I'd had a few lessons on the indoor snow slopes back home first and got to a point where I was able to go down the slope slowly and able to just about turn.
Booked my self 3, 2 hour lessons in the snowboard school in the intermediate group. The instructor took a look at what we could do on the nursery slope then took all of the group onto the blue runs.(in at the deep end)

This turned out to be the best way for all of us and by the end of the week we were going down whatever was put infront of us.
Be prepared for a few bumps and bruises and don't give up.......you will enjoy, meet new people and be coming back for more as soon as possible.
The 1st day is a bit chaotic with every one getting sorted with their gear and instructors but after 3-4 days you'll be fine.
Have a good one!
