Hey guys, Heading out to Alpe d'huez in Jan to break my snowboarding virginity. Popping over with some mates who are pretty experienced in the snow, whereas i've never attempted it, prefering the warm winter waves and a pair of boardshorts.
Anything you think i should know before i head out....I.e best bars etc.
Hitting the slopes for the 1st time.

I second the advice given, get some proper lessons, dont rely on your mates to teach or help you get about. If you can, do a crash course for beginners at a snowdome before you go.Tanman wrote:Hey guys, Heading out to Alpe d'huez in Jan to break my snowboarding virginity.
