There are some basic steps that you need to take in order for a snowboard lift to work. First, you need to place your frontfoot on the board. Next, bend your knees and keep your back foot free. This is to stop you from falling over or getting an edge. You should also keep your weight in your front foot so that the drag lift moves forward. You will then need to position your body so that the draglift travels upwards.
You should make sure all your equipment is in order before you go on a snowboard lift. You will need a stomppad to prevent your foot from sliding off the board, as well as a helmet and head protection. To keep you dry and warm, gloves may be an option.
Once you have positioned yourself, place your front foot on the lift. Now, you will need to position your board so that it parallels the lift's cable. After placing the board, bend your knees slightly. Now shift your weight over to your leading arm. The edge will not be at your feet if you lean back. This will prevent you from sliding off the board while it's moving uphill. Crab Grabs, which are attached to the cable of the lift, can help you to get on the lift.
After you have gotten off the lift, it is important to move away from any landing platforms. You will avoid being bumped into other passengers. Keep your thumbs pointed uphill and the rope behind. You will be given a vigorous tug when you are placed on the rope, so it is important to be gentle with it. You could fall if your grip is too firm.
You should also be on the lookout for signs. This is so you don't get out before the lift is ready. The sign will usually indicate where the lift is going to. If you are unsure, you can ask the lift attendant for help. The lift attendant can also stop the lift. You might be able, if the lift is not moving fast enough, to wait in a different chair until it arrives.
Be sure to think about how your skis will be held. You will want to have both skis attached to the lift. A stomp pad, or Crab Grab can be used to keep your foot on top of the lift. You should avoid riding on a lift that has more than three passengers if you're not an experienced snowboarder. This can make it difficult to control the lift. You may also wish to locate another lift that is close to your destination.
