TL;DR As a former instructor and full-time programmer:
1 Get a lesson. Keep your knees bent, lead your turns with your arm and front knee.
2 Blues are easier to learn on then greens because the pitch helps you stay up. I have gotten overweight / out of shape older guys from LA, that have never even seen snow, to be confident riders in a day using this trick and the 'falling leaf' method.
3 The first two days will be painful generally, stick with it because once it 'clicks' you will have so much fun!
- beezle 8y agoI'm not a certified instructor but have taken out many a novice the past 20 years. I'm not fond of the 'lead with your arm' point as I've seen way too many beginners with arms flopping all over the place and instead prefer arms and hands kept quietly at the sides. If they get into high speed or euro-style carving, then yes arm positioning is more in play.
