history: I was really amazed to see my kid snowboarding so well during last winters ! Must say he's a quick learner. My kid was fast enough to be a master of snowboarding after taking only few lessons last winters!  That is pretty great! I am actually still a beginner with snowboarding. I believe the sooner you start the better it is ! It also depends upon your passion for the sport.
current: I feel for me it's just getting to the slopes more often too.
next: Yeah true. When did you start?
