Do I need snowpants? I don't want to buy a pair just for this ONE day, but I feel like jeans aren't quite enough.

Although the cold has never bothered me before...


Pants will not do you fall once your soaked all day yes you need snow pants pick a pair up off craigslist for cheap. You will be made a fool of if you show up in jeans

Not that I ever cared about random people's opinions. -_- Eh I guess I'll find a pair somewhere.

I would wear waterproof pants and jacket and decent gloves. Borrow if you can. If not, layer up and hope u don't get too soaked.

Well I just got back recently, and I have to say it was awful. This sport is deceptively difficult. For 2 full hours I kept trying while telling myself not to quit, but eventually I got tired of falling on my ass and had to. Must say, snowboarding is terrible.

Skiing was fun though.

what this guy said. I've done both skiing and snowboarding and snowboarding is a heck of a lot funner then skiing. Also more challenging and harder to learn.

You sure it's not you are terrible at snowboarding not so much snowboarding is terrible?

If you have someone to help you out when starting it's really not that hard

Snowboarding is something that takes a few times to get the hang of it.

I just started back up this season, first few times I went I was falling all over the place but once u get the hang if it, it's alt of fun
