He man i was new to snowboarding last year. I skied since i was like 4 years old. I went out there and thought i would get it right away. Not the case!!! After a whole day of falling I decided to take lessons. It was the best decision i ever made. i was taught things that i would have never thought of myself. I am really good for only a year of shredding (If I say so myself).
Good Luck!!
