Sometimes snowboard beginners have a hard time getting into a ski lift. It is actually not that difficult. Glide into position by pushing yourself forward by your free foot while leaving your front foot in the snowboard binding.

As the ski chairlift approaches, skate up and look over your outside shoulder as the chair glides under your butt. Grab the outside of the chair and sit pointing your snowboard forward. You can prop it on your free foot if it gets heavy and you journey up the mountain.

When it is time to get off, keep an eye on the off ramp. As the off-loading area approaches, twist around so that when you put your board down it will be pointed in the right direction and the front part of the snowboard up. Then begin standing up putting your weight on your forward foot. Put your back foot down on the board on the stomper pad. Skiers naturally do not have that problem.

Next, all you have to do is balance your weight on the board and shuffle away. Take time to strap in and you will be ready to go down the mountain with the other snowboarders and skiers for an enjoyable ride.
