I had some of the most gnarly wipeouts... no idea exactly how I buried an edge in the snow but on some I managed to flip board-over-head. heh. Any other Shackers in the WA area snowboard? I'm thinking about going to White Pass at the end of this month and am wondering if it's any good. I got a college pass to Mission Ridge but they didn't have their intermediate chair open...just the beginner and two expert slopes with some supposedly-intermediate runs. Which I tried and couldn't handle, hehe. White Pass seems to have a lot more beginner & intermediate trails, which would be a good second step for me, I think.
I had no idea waxing your board would make such a huge difference. Gonna have to do it before every trip now. :D
Any other tips for a beginner? I always thought that when you do that s-curl thing down the slope, you'd have to switch between edges at the leftmost or rightmost part of your turn, but now I think I have to turn halfway across the slope... fuck it, this is too hard to describe. I wiped out less than last time, at least. And hardly at all today.

I rode my tail edge most of the way down. haha. Couldn't help it. I suck. Those expert slopes were ridiculously steep. After that I stuck with the green one.
