A North Carolina Weekend
Menu
The first day of snowboarding is a learning experience. First, you learn how to put on the equipment and take it off. Second, you learn how to get on and off the ski lift. Third, you need to learn balance to move the board down the hill. Start by making your body perpendicular to the hill you plan to traverse. You need to know how to slow down without coming to a complete stop. This is done by using the zig zag technique, which is essential for snowboarding. Zig zag means to move in an “S” shape down the slope, rather than straight down. It is also important to stay as low as possible when doing this technique, because your center of gravity is lower, which enables you to have more control of your body. Most people learn these skills within the first couple of days. If you have background experience skateboarding or surfing, this sport will come more naturally to you.
In skateboarding, zig zagging across a slope is important because it controls speed. In surfing, balance allows the surfer to keep a low center of gravity. Just like skateboarding and surfing, falling is part of learning how to snowboard and most importantly learning from your mistakes.
