Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

I feel somehow dirty! I have just booked a learn to board in a day course.

My excuse being it is to acompany my dau and her friends...but all the same it does not feel right.

What happens if i like it?

Do I have to buy some pants that show my bum when i bend down?

Do i have to start dressing well and learn the lyrics to musicals?

Can i hake my poles?

I suggest that you rent a board with hard boot bindings so you can wear your ski boots, and it's perfectly acceptable to wear your usual fluro fartbag. That way you'll clearly not be mistaken for a 'regular' snowboarder and your daughter and her friends will respect you all the more, using words like 'Phat' and 'Dope' or similar to describe you. wink

as you've correctly identified, the most difficult part of snowboarding is telling your partner you're gay. Other than that, you'll probably hate it for the first 3 days, then gradually improve over the next few days until you're at the standard you were 25 years ago on skis.

kevindonkleywood, Just do it, you know you want to, it's waiting to take over your life, you will sit around with your shoulders and ass and wrists all throbbing in pain, that happens just so you have to prove to yourself you can do it, before you know it it's got you and won't let go.
At least thats what happened to me this year, did a whole week in Arinsal, Andorra and now I'm hooked. Thought that at 41 I would be too old, no way, and now I'm not just a slave to a single snowsport but two, so I can choose.
I'm off to Hemel tomorrow for an hour or two's sliding, I love it. Twisted Evil

Ah my thought process exactly, having said that i was recently told i was far too old for twintips let alone 'those' twintips.

Just make sure your insurance is up to date. Boarders have twice the accident rate as skiers. And yet there are always plenty of them around to insult. Puzzled

41? Pah I'm 47 and live for boarding despite having spent 11 years on skis.

Sarge McSarge, you have to analyse those figures a little further to take account of the age/gender profile of the snowboarding population.

Lizzard, I see your point, but I think it's a red herring. Boarders fall over much more than skiers, regardless of age or gender (only one edge, and balance compromised due to sideways stance), and more falling over equates to more injuries.

Dr John, I don't find that standing sideways on to things compromises my balance in any way.

Dr John, the stats are a well trodden subject on here, and boarders have more injuries per boarder (generally wrist and shoulder injuries etc), but skiers in comparison have less but more serious injuries like broken legs etc,

As detailed on another thread I've had a doozy of a season for random injuries, but my "attack first, think later" style lends itself to random injuries so don't include me in the sample.

Lizzard, I'm sure you're well advance up the learning curve, but I've skied with enough boarders to know that catching a edge is almost always terminal, with skis you hat least have a fighting chance of recovering.
