Im going to snowboard at this place, and so i signed up on the internet for the rentals, but not the group lesson, because i thought i could figure it out myself, am i wrong, could i learn to snowboard myself with my friends? or is it really hard?

I probably wouldn't use the machine too overly much (just as a weekend outing) I don't want the new machines that require $1000 service every year before you take them out!
Something a little older, that's DURABLE. Doesn't need to be really big or fast. I've heard that the Indy's are pretty low maintenance...and they are nice and light. What would you recommend?

Do you tend to put them as close to either rail as possible? Or center them......
Like I used to put them closest to the bottom rail, for more space when turning/carving frontside.

But turns out you have much less balance that way and sticking them close to the front rail you have much more power, balance and control.
Have you guys realised/ experimented wth this?

Here's mine:

For the record, I was young and stupid when this happened.

I was riding with a bunch of my guy friends, and there was this natural jump between two runs. Since I am a small girl, all my guy friends could see over the jump to see if it was clear, but I couldn't. It was a blind jump for me.

My friends all went off of it and were fine. As soon as I went off the jump, I saw there was a girl (in her 20's, not a little kid) standing in the way between me and my landing.

As an automatic response, I put my board out in front of me and completely took her out. I hit her hard, I probably already had gone 10 feet in the air by the time I hit her. I felt so bad! It was a yard sale on her part. Since I only hit her with my board, I was fine. I still feel bad!

Anyway, that's my dumbest story.

Anyone else?

I just bought the new Nitro eero pro model snowboard and was wondering if it comes prewaxed. It probably does, because i think most snowboards do but i just want to make sure. Also, how can you tell? Or, even if it is prewaxed, should i wax it agian?

I'm going to Val Thorens in France and wanted to know if it cheaper hiring skis online before I go. Also is it worth buying a lift pass online before I go?

Salomon Storm Snowboard.
159 cm


Does it come waxed or should I wax it? What type of wax would you recommend?

I believe it comes detuned, but what should I get in the future for further tuning?

Is it reasonable for a starting package of snowboarding to cost roughly $300? This includes season-long equipment rentals and 3 private lessons, but I would still have to purchase lift tickets each time I went snowboarding. I am a very very ameteur snowboarder and I'm not sure how many times I would go on the lift. A season-long lift ticket pass is $239 at the summit near me which I think is ridiculous. However, daily tickets are $32. Considering I'd probably snowboard about twice a week, which is the better deal?

I have a choice between a centered stance and a stance that is about 2-4 inches offset towards the front of the board
