Yeah Neo is kinda of right. Snowboarding is frustrating, b/c you fall alot more than if you just started skiing. Pretty much all you need to figure out is how to heel stop, swing you back foot so you are perpendicular with the mountain and lean on you heel. Then pretty much when going down the hill make sure you are not riding on the board flat. You need to be on an edge almost all the time, b/c if you ride flat on the board you can catch a pile of snow and you'll be hurting. Pretty much just learn to stop and learn not to catch edges.
