Beginner: Snowboarding at night?
Question:My friends and I will be heading off to Mt Hood Meadows and it'll be my first time snowboarding. The lessons begin at 6:00pm and by then it'll be dark. How much more difficult is it to learn during the night?
Also, is it a lot less busy during the night (particularly the beginner runs)?
Answers:
P.S. I almost forgot to mention that in some resorts (Maybe not yours, I've never been to Mt. Hood) they close certain trails at night. Like i said, this may not be true with yours but you should keep it in mind.
What do you know about figure skating?
well the slope may be more icey but meadows is realy well lit so good luck.They have lights on the slopes.
Should I pee outdoors while skiing, or go indoors?
First Time Fun - With the high-intensity lamps available today most of the terrain under the lights is well lit, and instructors will probably have fewer pupils and can offer more personal coaching. Not many people remember their first time on skis but if you did it under the stars, you won't forget it.Tips for Night Skiing
Dress Warmly - Dress in layers, and plan on at least ten degrees colder when the sun goes down - not counting the wind factor.
Ski With a Friend - Even though the skiable terrain is well lit the nearby woods are not and you always want someone to know where you are.
Check Your Car - If you will be driving home after skiing make sure your lights and battery are ready for the trip.
Know the Skier Responsiblity Code - Follow it double at night. That shadow could be another skier.

Wheres the best place to snowboard in colorado??
From oregon, ill be at willamette pass on sat. meadows should be great. LOTS!! of fresh powder though,...not ideal for beginning rider. Stay on the groomed runs, and youll do fine. The lesson is a great idea! You will be falling on your butt a Whole! lot,so the soft powder will be good in that sense....have fun!Going snowboarding, which one is better: Perisher or Thredbo?
i dont reccomend learning at night. its colder, its harder to see the snow, its icier, windier. its not safe. its better to learn during the day when it is bright and sunny so you can the snow conditions. if you fall it wont be as cold. and you will be falling unfortunately. it can be less busy at night, but its still not worth it. go early in the morning when they open, it will actually be less crowded than night.Does anyone know from experience please, how far portable bi-color bow lights shine?

I never been there or NIGHT snowboarding(I snowboard though). If they have lights it shouldn't be a problem. Watch out for trees and poles and any dropoffs going of the side of the mountain. It will probly be more fun though. Less crowded too. Good luck. Go to FrostyRider.com for tips.Starting a curling club/team...?
night ridiing is more fun cause u got that uncertanty in between the lights. cause its a little dark in bettween each light. but its not that hard. and meadows is pretty mellow in the begginner areas so u should be fine. except if u loose the keys to ur ride in the snow like we didMore Questions & Answers...
