As a long time snow sports person... I'd like to gently suggest that you do not have your boyfriend teach you to board. It's really tough on relationships for any number of reasons: He'd rather be with his buddies, you will be frustrated, he will be frustrated, plus unless he IS an instructor he will probably not teach you very well.

My recommendation is that you get a series of lessons and learn correctly. A trained instructor will geive you what you need to know in the proper sequence so that you can have success. Plus, all the emotional stuff gets factored out of the equation. You can take some half day lessons, and the go out with the BF for a few runs after lunch when he's blown off some steam.



he's a little selfish about the snowboarding because he thinks of it as his special guy thing he does with his friends away from all their wives and girlfriends...I have told him that this makes him seem like an a55...
Oh, joy -You might want to hook up with some other gals at your level and forget about hanging with the guys. Some boys are like this... If she can't keep up with me forget her kind of thing... and you'll have a lot more fun with the gals than trying to keep up with a bunch of guys who don't want to wait for you.
