Snowboarding it not hard to grasp but it can be dangerous if you are not ready and are pushed into a high slope because you will panic and forget all the rules and regulations in a moment.

Try snowboarding first on the children slide where even if you fall you will not be injured, as the slopes are small and soft. Practice until you feel from within that you are ready and then still get on the higher slopes only with your instructors or someone experience that can be of some help in case it is needed.
