How do people get good at snowboarding when the opportunity to do it is so limited compared to other sports?

like the other guy said above, you just try and do something new every trip. It takes time and practice.. like almost everything else. When I first started snowboarding, i went with people that were way better than me. it was a challenge every time i went up with these guys. trying to keep up, doing the same trails/ runs. Some days were good, some days were bad but in the end i learned a lot from it.
At this point, I have surpassed the skill level of the people i normally go with. The more trips you make the better of course.
I go with a bunch of different groups now: beginner, inter, advanced. Even when I go with beginners, it gives me the opportunity to tweak small tricks (butters, small kickers, etc). No trip should be a trip wasted. make the most of any opportunity.
I've been snowboarding for about 4 seasons (went 3 times last season though..) and I feel as though i could classify myself as upper intermediate for sure (not to gloat). If you put the effort in, you'll get the results.. like every sport, things take time.
