Please see our copyright and disclaimer notice page. Terrain and snow conditions are constantly changing, just like the weather. Snowboarders who want to make the most of each run need to follow suit and change the way they ride. As instructors, we need to see how students move and help them understand how to adapt their turns to the different conditions. Sadly, many instructors teach only what they feel to be the preferred movement patterns.
