Do you know skateboarding? Well, now imagine yourself on a bigger board, without wheels and in the snow, what do you think? Balance is certainly fundamental because, through hooks, the feet are fixed to the board and you will no longer be able to move them, so it will be the movement of the body and the distribution of weight that will help you move and stop.
1. Electrifying
Downhill skiing is one of the greatest emotions that this sport offers, moving left and right, doing small stunts and walking along the long snow-covered slopes with the wind in your hair is undoubtedly a fun and fascinating experience. But the adrenaline begins to be felt even during the journey to get to the top of the mountain, on the chairlift, admiring the view and seeing the valley that slowly recedes, here is the tension that increases and one is more and more impatient to start the descent.
2. Throw yourself that it is soft
Don't be afraid to try, at first it will be difficult to find the right position to control the board and you will certainly spend more time on the ground than standing, but don't worry, the soft snow will cushion the fall and you won't get hurt. The first attempts will leave room for lots of laughter and embarrassing falls but that's also part of the game isn't it?
3. Alone or in company?
Are you more of a loner who prefers to walk the slopes alone and in peace or do you like to share these moments with your friends? You decide whether to take a moment for yourself or if you prefer the company of other skiers. If you are following lessons, you will be able to walk the slopes in the company of your instructor and, once you feel more confident, starting from the simpler slopes, you can try your hand at the first descents independently, perhaps in the company of some friends.
4. Find your next destination
There are many structures offering snowboarding courses or the rental of materials throughout Italy, so spending a weekend on the snow can be a wonderful opportunity to get to know many different locations. Whether for a family outing or a weekend with friends, choosing new places always allows you to grow from a personal and cultural point of view. Small mountain towns are very characteristic and interesting to visit, so now choose which one you can visit next?
5. Fall in love with the view
From the cities, looking at the snow-capped peaks in the distance, we imagine what we see from up there, every image that is created in our head is absolutely not comparable with reality. When you get to the top and look around the world it seems tiny, the snow and the sun create new colors, the atmosphere is magical and will leave you speechless. Once you've seen the landscape you won't want to go back to the valley, that's for sure!
When can you ride your snowboard in Italy?
As you will imagine, the presence of snow is a fundamental prerogative to be able to practice snowboarding. The perfect season to try out this specialty is undoubtedly the winter one but sometimes, even during the coldest months, not enough snow falls to completely cover the slopes of the establishments. By now this is no longer a problem, most of the structures to remedy this inconvenience have snow guns which, if necessary, allow to solve this threat that otherwise would risk ruining the entire season. Sometimes it doesn't snow enough, others too much and in case of storms or particularly bad weather you won't be able to indulge yourself on the slopes, always pay close attention to the weather forecast.
