Setup
Wear a helmet, goggles, and wrist guards, and check your bindings. Check the snow conditions and choose a slope that suits your level.
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.
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.
Target muscles
Edge changes and speed control work your cardiovascular system and lower body. Your core keeps you balanced as you switch edges.
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.
Breathing
Breathe steadily through your turns instead of holding your breath. Rest at the side of the slope if your breathing gets fast.
Coach tip
Record the time spent snowboarding. Do not enter the number of runs or distance.
