Snow season is coming, and I want to learn how to snowboard.
Looking for suggestions:

- Is group class ok or it's better to take 1-1?
- I plan to practice after work hours, are there places that offer evening sessions?
- What is a good place to get all the equipment or it's better to start with rentals?
I'm in Seattle area.

  Whistler seems really busy during the season. I was considering taking a week off and going to Big White, but again in a perfect scenario I'd love to have an evening class right after work, so I get exercise + keep all my vacation days.

  sadly i’m not too familiar with the PNW. i’ve been to whistler though and they seem to have top notch terrain at every skill level, and get instructors from all over the world

How tolerant are you to frustration? And get good gloves, jacket, pants.

  I've voted "lost the count" in the "How many times you've been rejected" poll, so yes, I'm quite tolerant to frustration 🙂

Rentals first, one on one better. You get personalized attention and can correct your issues quickly vs a group class.

  Never heard of those. Have you tried? How is that comparing to practicing on a real surface?

  It's perfect. Go to their website. I learned there when I was 4 in 1980. My kid learned there 10 years ago. My wife learned there 2 years ago. It's a fantastic place. They even have a chairlift to learn that.

Do a 1:1 lesson and commit to do it a few times. You will hate it the first time and you will be sore but after that it gets much better as you don’t fall as much so you aren’t as sore and you are fold and wet.

Intel hey now!
Rent until you know more, buy wrist braces, private lesson or small group, multiple consecutive day lessons >>> one lesson every few weeks.

  I tried, and can do basic things. Now I'm curious to try snowboard.

  skiing is easier to learn how to get down the mountain. snowboarding is much easier to master but slower initial ramp up time. requires a few lessons and a solid week or two on the mountain
