Our snowboarding misadventure at Seven Springs
"Joe Ramirez" wrote in message ...
Joe, sorry your first experience was a bad one. The best takeaways from everyone here is 1) don't go on a weekend and 2) don't go when its icy (which is tough to call since the condition reports always lie). I go to 7Springs a lot and its a nice hill. Particularly the North Face area once you've gotten the hang of basic skills. So, don't discount the resort. Regarding your $130, I'd contact the resort or write a letter and pretty much spell out all the negatives from your post here. It is to the resorts advantage to teach you correctly because then you'll come back and spend more $ with them on lifts, food and rentals. If you get the right person on the phone or send a letter to the owner, I would be very surprised if you did not get 2 free lesson/rental vouchers for you to give it another try. Or go to a small mountain. Yes, go for the private lesson. As unrecommended as this is, when I learned we just rented boards, went to the bunny lift and figured it out. We had tips from a couple people and asked other boarders we saw for advice which most provided. These days most people recommend taking a lesson to increase your learning curve, but if you're patient and have someone to give you tips along the way, you can figure it out on your own like many people do. (Instructors rarely admit to this since they see only the carnage of self-teaching gone bad...the ones that get through it don't come crawling to them! Try it again. Its a fun sport, -todd |
