How Do You Get On A Ski Lift With A Snowboard?
Getting on the lift with a snowboard is not that hard, but when things go wrong, the whole world will seem to despise you for shutting down the lift. Release your rear foot from its binding and enter the lift line. Push along in the lift line until you are next in line to load onto the chair. When the lift operator gives you the go ahead, move forward to the spot where the chair will pick you up. Make sure your board is pointing straight forward. Look behind you as the chair approaches, making sure to look to your outside shoulder opposite the center of the chair. Sit down in the chair while grabbing the outside of the chair as it swings in underneath you and touches the back of your legs. Scoot back in the chair as it sinks a little just before taking off up the hill. Lift the nose of your board slightly to keep the edge from catching the snow and dragging.
