So yesterday was my first time snowboarding. I went to Cypress did the bunny hill 3 times, than the Circle hill right after and then back to the bunny hill. Going to the Circle hill right away was a bad idea for me. I bailed out so many times and I was not use to the steeper slope.

Any ways I think I got the hang of back side riding, just need to learn how to use my front side. Once I can easily ride comfortably with backside and front side I think I will attempt a non beginner slope again lol.

Some things I learned as a beginner if anyone is thinking of trying snowboarding for the first time is:
Need to buy a helmet and maybe wrist guards.
Learn how to properly get off a ski left so you wont bail hard trying to get off.. lol

All in all it was a fun experience for myself and I hope to continue learning how to snowboard.

Thanks for reading

P.S. Does anyone recommend a better mountain to start off with, or was Cypress good enough to learn. I was thinking of sticking with grouse because it is the shortest drive.
