I’m a Level 2 CASI certified snowboard instructor. I taught hundreds of adult beginners over the years. I myself started as a never-ever when I was 35.
Season starting soon, come up (I’m at Vancouver/Grouse) it’s awesome!

Snow boarding is also done upright, so your spatial awareness is the same. Try teaching adults with no gymnastics background how to handstand. Kids can pick this up in weeks. I know very few examples of adults managing it. And even then their skill level is not very high.
