How can I learn to snowboard?


assistant
Buying or renting a snowboard, snowboard boots, bindings, snowboard pants, and jacket at your favorite snowboard shop is the first step. Next, check the snow conditions and availability of lessons at the ski resort of your choice. Lift tickets and lessons can be purchased for the day online.  Lastly, drive to the ski resort with your gear, and register to find your snowboard instructor, who will start with lesson basics on how to strap in, stand, stop, and carve your snowboard.
