The reason it seems harder to get up on heel rather than toe edge is the center of gravity tends to stay over the board when using toe edge. The reason why most beginners have trouble is their calves are weak (you may think they are strong, they are not) The most serious problem for most beginners is not knowing how to fall down properly. Roll on your shoulders or belly flop. Do not jam arms out front or behind you. Your wrists will thank me. The reason why beginners fall down a lot is a combination of two factors: 1) they go to slow making it harder to turn and 2) they fail to look where they want to go. Looking down at the snow, at trees or at other people usually results in some type of wreck. If you want to get better, learn to do moguls.
