Description
Snow: A Guide for All Boarders by Lowell Hart is an instructional guide that helps anyone learn to snowboard, regardless of age or skill level. With this comprehensive and illustrated book, beginners can get started with the basics, from choosing the right board to mastering key movements.
Lowell Hart takes readers through familiar terrain in their living room, where they practice essential moves such as tilting the board and carving turns. The guide then progresses to more advanced techniques, including first descents, stopping, connecting turns, side-slips, and garlands, with tips and warnings for common pitfalls.
As riders progress, Hart covers intermediate, advanced, and freestyle riding, including basic halfpipe technique, terrain park tips, airborne spin tricks, rail slides, and backcountry 'boarding. This guide is perfect for anyone looking to improve their snowboarding skills or start from scratch.
