I'm up at hunter mountain right now about to board for the first time
I have a skateboarding background, is carving something that's gonna come naturally?

I don't think its something that could possibly come naturally. I feel like having your feet strapped to a piece of wood goes against everything we're used to in terms of balance so it takes a lot of relearning how to balance if that makes sense. It might benefit you and shorten the learning curve but my guess is it won't come naturally at all.Fellas

Try the "falling leaf" method.^ first time snowboarding yesterday, got a skateboarding background too, but got my butt kicked on the slopes.
like seriously, my body was all over the place, fell face first and knocked the back of my head pretty hard doing frontside slides. tried the steeper slope fell there and my legs felt like they were up in the air.
gotta agree that being strapped to the board, didnt feel natural. its definitely gona take some time to learn
^ dont know if im gona feel that pain today or over the next few but feeling ok right now. i think if u dont exercise or do physical activity youll feel worse. went here

anywhere in the northeast is going to be great right now with all the snow they're getting. Killington is my favorite spot when i'm back east
Try the "falling leaf" method.
Stay on your heelside edge (looking down the hill) and kind of go back and forth like a falling leaf would. After you've done that a few runs, turn around and do the same but on your toe side (looking up the hill).
After you learn edge control, start mixing in single turns to connect a heelside into a toeside.
Going to Breck next week to ski for the first time ever...hope I survive! Any pointers or places to check out in that area?
I cant wait for my trip at the end of the month.
Anyone know where to get lift tickets for breck/keystone for discount? Anyone have epic pass that I can rent out and return? DM!
