Snowboarding

This is actually a fairly decent book on how to ride a snowboard. Touches on some freestyle and freeride. Looks like a children's book, but reads like a concise adult book. There is really not much to know to be honest - sun is powerful up in the mountains, wear sunblock; at least wear waterproof pants, hat, gloves; 1/2 size smaller than your normal size for boots, make sure it comfy; get a decent intermediate board w/cool graphics - you're set! Of course, in terms on instruction - probably best to take one lesson, the worst fall is from the heel to your back or toe to your wrists so keep downhill edge up at all times; weight on front foot, always; edge either toe or heel, avoid a flat board - now you're really set!
