How to snowboard in 6 steps

1. Without the snowboard, check which leg is your leading leg as following: somebody has to push you on your back, yes, like this you'll see which leg you naturally put forward, in order to stabilize yourself.

2. Take the snowboard and strap your "good leg" in front. Leave the other leg unstrapped so you get the first feeling of sliding on the snow. Pretend that you are skateboarding. Just push and slide.

3. Climb up to the first gentle slope and strap both legs. Remember, as a beginner, you should always point downhill with your steady leg. Your torso should be positioned on top of your board. Only your head is turning. You can open your arms at shoulder level to achieve better balance.

4. That's the most important tip, beware, bend your knees all the time, more than what you think is enough, or necessary. Work these muscles!

5. Once you have mastered the above, it's time to make your first turn. Look ahead of you, where you want to turn; point with your arm or with your shoulder gently, try to harmonize this slight movement. Your knees are bended and your body moves forward. The board is naturally following. Let yourself finish the movement, and see that eventually you slow down, since your board is perpendicular to the inclination of the soil. Relax, try the other side now.

6. Practice makes wonders and if you're not afraid putting your weight forward in order to turn, soon you'll be able to turn just be slightly moving your weight from your toes to your heels!

Enjoy the ride!
