Im gonna snowboard for the first time this year! You folks got any tips or recommendations?

After reading all the comments, this is getting me hyped.
Take a basic lesson / & rent all your stuff @ a local Snowboard/Ski shop don't rent @ the resort . It takes time & cost way too much ........

A simple 2 hour lesson will give you the tools to get down the mountain from there you create your own style .

2-5 feet fri. - Sun . - Yeeeeeeeeee

Damn Simpaticone...

meant to call you when i was up there.... left my cell phone in SJ.

kinda nice, not having a phone for a few days tho.

Sierra last week was DOPE! ....broke one of my boards in half, riding the boxes.
I love not having a phone for a few / No worry's we'll connect up here .........

Those boxes are some shit huh ...

I heard helmet laws are gonna hit EVERY california resort by next year , I don't wear one now ( I should ) we all should but its gonna take some getting used to . So get ready for that ....... Poor girl died @ Alpine Meadows too -
Out of bounds got hurt & froze .

Nice! So the roads look pretty clear from that pic!

I went a few weeks ago when they had "the worst storm in the past 10 years" according to the people at Northstar, and they closed down most resorts, and at Northstar there was only ONE lift open. The drive back to The Bay was terrible and traumatizing!

Going up again this Friday for the whole weekend with a bunch of friends.

^^^ I spent the whole day in the park today trying to get down a 3 jump sequence - 1st - just jump , 2nd jump - big tale grab , 3rd backside 360 ........ I only got all three down bout 4 times today - very hard all three jumps are big & close .



Also the rainbow boxes & sidewinders have been cool / as the day goes on though they get sticky .... - doing a lot of park this week . Sugar Bowl has a great Advanced , Intermediate , and a tiny beginner one too ..... ( I was trying 360 boardslides to 360 out ) yeah that didn't happen but Im crushing every rail I see ....

Today was off the hook - Sunburnt / spring like day .............

My 3rd day this week - 16th day this Winter .......... I might have a snowboard problem ..........

Mon. & Tues back @ it .........
