Rent boots early
Reserve ski/snowboard boots and gear ahead; poor fit quickly ruins a lesson and rentals can take time to size and adjust.
Warm up on gentle runs
Use the first 20–30 minutes to re-familiarize yourself with balance and edges before attempting coached drills.
Record a run
Ask your instructor to film a short run—slow-motion playback speeds up learning and shows subtle body-position issues.
Watch weather windows
Mornings usually mean firmer, more consistent snow; shifting winds and sun can make afternoons variable.
Well‑fitting ski/snowboard boots
Proper-fit boots transfer edge control and prevent fatigue during drills.
