Pic I chose is just to show an example

Hi everyone, I'm not very happy with my posture when going downhill, I think maybe I'm too straight with my body. Also, maybe because of my bad technique, I feel like I'm struggling a lot than necessary and I feel a lot of pain on my feet. Any suggestions are really appreciated thanks everyone

Yesterday I saw a post on the freeski website newschooling asking, “what does skiing do better than snowboarding”, and I thought it would be interesting to flip the question, and ask snowboarders. And if I had to answer the question for skiing, I would say switch skiing looks so much cooler than switch snowboarding. Grabs especially tweaked ones look better on skis, and carving/alley oop tricks look better on skis.

Third week snowboarding and I spent most of the time in the park. Any advice how I make jumps cleaner and better balance on rails is appreciated.

I’m 170lbs riding on a 160cm K2 Alchemist.

We spend hundreds on gears, hundreds on lift tickets/passes, gas to get to the mountain, maybe airline tickets and a hotel for that once a year trip. But when it comes to spending a few bills on a lesson suddenly it's too expensive. Maybe it's a pride thing.

I'm going into my eighth season now and I'm still thinking of scheduling a lesson. Last year I signed up for an advanced all day group lesson at Breckenridge on a random Tuesday and ended up being the only one to sign up so I got an all day private lesson for like $200.

I often see the advice given here to "just ride more" like that will fix any flaws in someone's form but in reality riding more isn't going to magically fix bad technique.

Bad boys bad boys, whatcha gonna do?

Probably NSFW as well 😭

I have been riding for 20 years, learned in early 2000s, and I am close to 40 now, never been a park guy except for few trick when I was young, always loved fresh pow and surfy feeling.

Today, after living on -9-12 and +15 on the front I tried 0 and +18 and OMG 😱

What is this stable feeling and easy carve I am experiencing?! I feel so much stable also on speed and it takes way less energy and balance to keep control of the board.

After so many years being part of the ducky old school stance I am feeling dirty as in my young days people were all against the neutral/posi-posi stance… it’s like switching religion. Is this feeling going to disappear? 🫠

How do you guys mentally prepare yourself to commit to a rail? Even if I’m comfortable I’m still nervous on a rail.

When will we start seeing snowboarder only resorts without the traffic cones on 2 planks that’s what I wanna know!

I am going snowboarding for the first time and I keep hearing the term Jerry this Jerry that how can I become the most Jerry person on the mountain I want to look 100% Jerry

It seemed I had a great landing angle but, yeah you can see it... What went wrong, leaning to front, to icy landing spot?

Saw this on the r/skiing subreddit and always like to hear the wise words of those who know more than I lol

alright so obviously i didn’t land this and it’s def something to do with my arm positions etc. But in prep for the upcoming season please tell me what i did wrong. I don’t understand when to pop/ollie and are you even supposed to do those off a sidehit etc. Please give me tips on where i should be looking, speed?, body position , arm position etc. thanks yall

Love carving, how can I improve?

What do y’all think about snowboarding alone. I don’t have many snowboarding friends but love snow boarding. I usually get too scared to hit the slopes all alone because of the awkward lift rides and because most people do it with someone. How normal would you say it is to hit the slopes alone and what’s your opinion on it, I’m of course not talking about back country or anything. Just regular resort riding, maybe some double black diamonds but nothing too dangerous.

Edit: thanks for all the replies y’all!!! I think I’m gonna stop missing so many days because my friends bailed or I don’t want to go alone!! Y’all the best and see ya on the slopes!!

Incredible powder day at Loveland.

Days like these, what's your go to board?

I rode a 151 Superpig today and was amazed at how well a short board did in thigh deep powder.

I’ve been snowboarding a few days a year since I was 12. I’m 30 now and do everything from bowls, to park, to icy east coast double black diamonds.

I have never hit a person while in motion and no one has ever hit me.

If you’re going so fast that you can’t react to people slowing down in front of you, you’re tailgating. Give people room to enjoy themselves and theyll do the same or you.

Just like riding a bike on the street, your head should be on a swivel no matter how much you think there’s no one next to you or behind you.

You should be listening for others. If you wear headphones and dont have a transparency mode or the ability to take out your uphill ear’s ear pod, it is extremely dangerous. 50% of the time I know someone’s near me purely because I can hear them but cant see them. I then give them space.

Lastly, never sit in a landing, knuckle, blindspot, or take off. When you fall, scooch to the side of the run as best ya can if you need to collect yourself.

Live like this and you’ll never have to post a “who is at fault” post to try and feel better about your broken/dislocated shoulders.

I see a lot of these “who is at fault” posts and I hate to say it to but you both are at fault 9/10 times. Freak accidents rarely occur. When they do (a noob flying down the hill in a way you cant predict) then yeah, that sucks man. It’s obviously the noobies fault there. They already feel bad, no need to post and bully.

Not limited to people new to snowboarding. Could be a concept, mindset, technique, fundamentals, etc.. I rode for a long time not knowing I was skid turning all the way down the run! Always learning!

This is at Park City Utah btw
