Please help, i am going snowboarding for the first time.?

well it's not easy if you have never done it before it would be best to take some lessons first. i worked at a ski resort on the top of the lifts and thought it looked easy it's not i found out the hard way! dress warmly and wear a helmet and take some lessons after that practice and have fun if you want to have your friend show you listen to what she is trying to say you said she is good so you should be alright.

Always where a thick coat, pants, gloves, hat and socks. if there are any stores around for boarding go there and buy stuff. its always better to have the right equipment. but if u do it will cost quite a bit, $150 to $200. plus good bindings and board can cost $400. boots $150 to $200 so before you get really good and decide to buy all that i would mooch off friends and rent. you will not be the only newbie so dont worry. and the boots are ok to walk in, not too hard. When you are going down the mountain stand with your knees bent. always know how to stop, you shift from riding on your heels to your toes. i did not learn how to ride on my toes for a while so dont worry. You can where googles if its a blizzard or sunny, other than that you do not have to..
