NEW SNOWBOARDER?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So your friend, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, cousin, boyfriend and\/or girlfriend snowboards and is offering to teach you. Don’t let ’em, take a lesson!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

LEAVE IT TO A PROFESSIONAL<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Book a lesson at your local resort with a CASI instructor. We’re experts and we love to teach others how to snowboard. We have all the little tricks to make your first time a stress-free and fun experience. Your local resort has lots of lesson options to get you started. Most have beginner lift, lesson and rental packages as well as many private and multi-day and multi-week packages. Check out the QuickRide directory<\/a> to find a QuickRide Learning Centre near you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

TIPS & TRICKS FOR NEW RIDERS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

EAT<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Snowboarding is a sport and you need the energy. Today is the perfect day to have your favorite: chocolate chip pancakes smothered in maple syrup. YUM!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

CHECK THE WEATHER<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Be prepared to spend a few hours in anything from sub-zero temperatures to nice and sunny. Dressing in layers is key. Cotton is for summer; not for snowboarding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

GET OUT THERE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You’re never too old (or young) to become a snowboarder. Most rental shops stock equipment for kids as young as 4, and QuickRide resorts can provide lessons for this age as well. If the kids want to shred, let ’em shred!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

GET THE RIGHT GEAR<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The right equipment makes learning way easier. Resorts rent boards built to learn on. Ask for boots, boards and bindings specifically for beginners that include base bevel, topsheet traction and soft flex.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

WHICH FOOT FORWARD?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Snowboarding is a sideways sport – almost everyone has a natural front foot. To determine whether you’re “goofy” (right forward) or “regular” (left forward), envision yourself sliding across a slippery floor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

RELAX<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Come with an open mind. It might be a little different than what you were told by your brother, that cool aunt of yours, or that computer game. It’s nothing like the game\u2026 it’s better!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

ASK FOR THE R.I.P. PROGRAM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CASI’s Rider Improvement Program is a multi-stage program that is delivered by resort snow schools. It has been developed with the goal of being a flexible, adaptable program that is suitable for group lessons, private lessons, or multi-week programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following each stage, students will receive a progress report that highlights the skills they have acquired, and new skills to come in the next stage. The program also includes an instructor guide to facilitate the delivery of the sessions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
