STEP 1

Setup

Wear a helmet, goggles, and wrist guards, and check your bindings. Check the snow conditions and choose a slope that suits your level.

STEP 2

Start phase

Start on a gentle slope with your knees bent and your weight centered. Look where you are going and shift between your toe and heel edges slowly.

STEP 3

End phase

Reduce your speed on the last run and stop safely at the bottom. Unstrap in a safe area, then check your workout duration.

STEP 4

Target muscles

Edge changes and speed control work your cardiovascular system and lower body. Your core keeps you balanced as you switch edges.

STEP 5

Common mistakes

Avoid catching yourself with straight arms when you fall. Keep your distance from others and do not sit in the middle of the slope.

STEP 6

Breathing

Breathe steadily through your turns instead of holding your breath. Rest at the side of the slope if your breathing gets fast.

STEP 7

Coach tip

Record the time spent snowboarding. Do not enter the number of runs or distance.
