Skiing and snowboarding are both an absolute blast but getting into it for the first time can feel very daunting, especially for adults.. Should I ski or snowboard? What gear do I need? How do I actually go about learning to ski?
Fortunately there are plenty of people in this world who can help you get things sorted. PeakRankings, for example, set up this list of 7 must-know tips for beginners in both skiing and snowboarding. It focuses mostly on things to know before you get on the mountain, rather than how to actually ski or snowboard.
One of the biggest things to know, especially if you’re an adult getting into the sport, is that you shouldn’t be ashamed for taking lessons. The only way you’re going to get better is by learning from people who know what their doing. Your friend, boyfriend, or girlfriend probably won’t do a very good job at teaching you.
