position for toeside – pee like a boyposition for heelside – pee like a girl
LOL, that is awesome. Great advise, yeah there is more too it, things like rhythm, timing, and coordination, but basic stances are fundamental. They are the foundation of successful riding and cannot be practiced too much.Weight shifts during transition from heel/toe and toe/heel are subtle but important. For most applications shift weight up and over the front foot slightly, then settle slowly to center. Front toe in, back toe in…Unweight board, twist board slightly.Front heel in… back heel in…Front toe in, back toe in…Unweight board, twist board slightly.Front heel in… back heel in…Like that. You will develop a rhythm to get flow. Once you flow it is all there for you. You are then free to move about the mountain

I was one for like 6 years and I must have helped thousands of people to snowboard better. Yes, it does cost $$ but it is worth it due to the rewards you can get even from just one lesson. (I wish my golf lesson was like that LOL).Here are little secrets about hiring an instructor:If it is mid season and the snow is powdery and good, take the lesson in the morning. You will get better snow and a more energetic coach. If it is spring and the snow is older, go in the afternoon. By then the snow is softened up a little and the crowds are died down. The afternoons provide more exclusive attention from the instructor since the group sizes are smaller. Since you are experienced already, you may want to go private lesson if you can afford it. Ask around the lodge who is the best instructor and REQUEST that person at the ski school office.
