Hello people,
Name's Al, I'm from Bellevue WA and I am completely new to snowboarding. I've done it once at Baker and it was an awesome experience, so awesome that I just finished buying all my gear and I'm ready to go out to other/closer mountains and tackle the sport I've been dying to do since I was 17 (always lived in FL 'til recently).
Anyway, as a newbie, what are some rules that I should follow so I'm on the way of other people that are more experienced? What should I avoid so that I'm not a burden on experienced riders? I basically want to get out of the way as much as possible in the mean time that I "catch up" and can go down the hill gracefully.
If you've ever been "mad" at a noob for being on your way, what would recommend him do?
Anyway, just trying to get the social anxiety part of this sport out of the way!
Hope you guys have good suggestions and a safe season to you all!
