Any snowboard beginners on here?

Hi!


It is my first winter in Switzerland and i would love to learn to snowboard. Everyone i know can either ski or snowboard well so I don't really want to hit the slopes with them. Is there anyone that's a beginner like me and wants to learn together?

What about next weekend? I'm free all weekend and pretty excited to hit the slopes. On the site of Leysin they state they only open on December 19th. Did you rent your equipment there Jack?

Hey Tina! 


Yes, last weekend I rented all the equipment, which is right below the main Ski lift! I rented the board, shoes, even clothing!


I fell over a lot haha... 


Yes, I would be up for some boarding this weekend! It's an easy 30 min train ride from Lausanne to Aigle, then you catch the mountain railway to Leysin :)

Hi Tina


I prefer skiing but sounds like we have the same skill level :D
I'm definitely up for hitting the slopes at least once before flying back home for Christmas.


Cheers

I would keep an eye on the snow report until the last minute, because the last snow fall was end of november and snow is melting.

So did people go to the slopes last weekend? I was in Gstaad practising for about 2hrs, and managed to do heel side turns and falling leaf. Toe side turns are harder because I cant get used to the idea of my back facing downhill.

Hi guys, I also eager to do more snowboarding this season. It would be great to organize a future activity if the snow conditions get better.
