not sure how you learn but check out some videos, snowolf and snow board addiction have some great tutorials. I just started last year and these helped me a lot. Videos aren't for everyone but they are free and I picked up lots of good tips before I got on the slopes.
It doesn't replace trial and error and the art of falling but it did help once I learned balance on the board.
Good luck and have fun, can't wait for this year.
