Here are a few things to know before snowboarding or skiing for the first time! Before my first day at a ski resort, I did SO much research on first-day riding tips, trying to understand what to expect. I was actually shocked because I found a lot of videos to help me learn how to ride, but not many videos with just helpful tips.

There are plenty of videos about how to ski for beginners or how to snowboard for beginners, that will help you to avoid beginner snowboarding fails. However, the purpose of this video is to help prepare you for your first day on the mountain and help you be prepared with a few hacks that will make the experience more enjoyable.
10 TIPS FOR BEGINNER SKIERS & SNOWBOARDERS!
1 - GO PEE WHEN YOU FIRST GET TO THE RESORT.
I know this sounds funny, but I'm being serious. Once you get all of your warm, winter clothes on, the last thing you want to do is penguin walk to the restroom and attempt to remain calm, cool, and collected while you feel like you are dying a slow, hot death. By going to the restroom very first thing, it gives you the opportunity to put your snow clothes on afterward, and then go out for a day on the slopes without having to take a quick potty break by the time you make it to the first run.
2 - MAKE SURE YOU'RE VISIBLE TO OTHER RIDERS WHEN YOU STOP.
If you end up needing to take a break, make sure you're visible to other riders that are coming down (quickly) on the slopes. If you aren't visible, they could easily run into you and cause serious harm or injury to you both.
3 - BRING SNACKS IN YOUR COAT & ESPECIALLY FOR YOUR CAR
Bring a granola bar or at least something small in your coat but especially have some snacks in your car. You never know if traffic will be backed up on the way down the mountain, so I always bring plenty of snacks with me for the car ride. That way, I'm not stressed or HANGRY either way.
4 - BRING CHAPSTICK
This is a small, simple tip. But, it's uncomfortable when your lips are super dry, and I promise you will thank me later!
5 - DON'T OVERDO IT!
This tip especially applies if you're planning on going on a ski trip or ride for multiple days in a row. But, even if you're just riding for one day, don't overdo it. A lot of people will push it so hard on their first day, they can't ride or even walk for days after. Don't do that. Push yourself, but make sure you don't make it a miserable experience afterward.
6 - DON'T BE AFRAID TO FALL
Falling is part of the process of learning, so just get it out of your mind now that you'll be able to ride without falling. You won't be able to. And if you can ride without falling as a beginner, I'd say that means you aren't pushing yourself hard enough. Do your best to have a good attitude, and if you fall down, get right back up and try again.
7 - GET GEAR THAT FITS YOU
The #1 complaint beginner skiers or snowboarders have is that they're cold or uncomfortable. By getting (quality) gear that fits you, you can help avoid both of these complaints. The most important piece of gear for both skiers and snowboarders is your boots because if your boots are uncomfortable, you are just basically out of luck. I highly recommend investing in quality gear that will last you for many years. You can watch my video here where I do a try-on haul with all of my gear. • What to wear snowboard...
8 - FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE RUN & LIFT NAMES
This tip is important in case you get separated from your group so you can actually stop and ask someone for help to get to where you need to go. Trust me, when you get out on the slopes, everything will kind of look the same, so you need to know the names to get from place to place. Bring a resort map with you, if possible.
9 - HAVE A WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR GROUP
Bring your cell phone or calling watch with you so you can get in touch with the other group members if you get separated. I like to use my apple watch because I can call or text through my coat and gloves by pressing the button on the side. Whatever device you prefer, just make sure you have a way to get in touch with your group on the slopes.
10 - PEE BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE RESORT!
Similar to tip #1, you'll want to pee before you leave the resort. As a beginner skier or beginner snowboarder, the last thing you want to do is use the restroom with your gear on. But, you also don't want to worry about getting down the mountain and getting stuck in traffic, and needing to pee. So, take all your gear off, and run potty.
