    in between your chin and nose,


    1. dont expect to be amazing at it first try
    2. it takes practice
    3. have fun and just goof around
    4. go out with people who also are learning
    5. take a lesson

    and most importantly

    6. dont cut people off

    ^^ Definately good advice, lol.... Oh and if its ur first time out... dont go spend thousands on a setup as there is no need, especially if you dony know if you'll like it. Rent or buy something fairly cheap to start.

    yah dont pull a shawn white.
    this happened when i was with my friends riding, this kid in all shawn white gear, i mean everything,
    board, boots, bindings, jacket, pants, etc... with a stance of 40, haha. he had extenders on his board, anyways, me and my friends went down, hells kitchen, we did it about 4 times, before they got down once, side slipping all the powder down.
    (this was the day, sunshine had the amazing snowfall during january) maybe other people saw him.

    if you're learning go with people that are a lot better then you. Makes you strive to get better and keep up with them.

    Also, it helps to know what stance you are comfortable riding - regular or goofy. This helped me improve a lot. When I first started riding years ago, most of my friends rode regular stance, so I assumed I was regular too. When we went shredding, I couldn't figure out why I was doing the worse out of everyone, it just felt hella awkward. So a friend suggested maybe I was "goofy". I was clueless to what he meant, I thought he was dissing me calling me goofy. He told me to stand up with my back faced towards him, so I did. He gives me a little shove and I fall forward but managed to catch myself with my right foot. So after explaining regular and goofy stance, we re-adjusted my bindings to goofy and it made me learn a lot faster and ride a lot better. Apparently, it is one of the tricks to determine whether you ride goofy or regular, but you don't really fully know until you actually feel it out on the hill or mountain or whatever.

    yah, stand with your back to someone and get them to push, you, and whatever foot you put out, use that for your forward foot.

    Anyone been to Mt. Tremblant? I'm going to be in Montreal Nov 9 - 15 and thinking about taking my gear. Is it worth the trip out?

    might as well, if you've never skied it, itll be a good experience, and than you can say you rode it.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'd actually like comments from anyone who's been there to see if it's worth the trip. I'm only in Montreal for 5 days so I don't want spend 1 day in Tremblant if it's really not worth it compared to what we have here.

    IT SNOWS IN JUMBO who's all heading there this year?


    when cut open, the rambutan unfortunately fails miserably to deviate from its outwardly testicular appearance, revealing an inside that looks for all the world exactly how you'd expect the contents of a scrotum to look.
