Using a snowboard lift involves a few basic steps. First, you need to place your frontfoot on the board. Next, bend your knees while keeping your back foot open. This is to prevent you from slipping or getting an edge. To keep the draglift in motion, it is important to keep your weight on the front foot. Then, you need to position yourself in a way that the draglift moves upwards.
You should make sure all your equipment is in order before you go on a snowboard lift. You will need a stomppad to prevent your foot from sliding off the board, as well as a helmet and head protection. You might also need gloves to keep you dry and warm.
Once you are in position you can place your front foot onto the lift. Once you are in position, place your board parallel to lift's rope. After the board has been placed, you will need to bend your knees slightly. Next, shift your weight towards your leading hand. The edge will not be at your feet if you lean back. This will help prevent you from falling off the board as it climbs uphill. Crab Grab is a device that attaches to the cable of the lift and can be used to help you get on the lift.
Once you are off the lift you need to get away from the landing platform. This will protect you from being bumped into by fellow passengers. Your thumbs should be pointed uphill. Also, make sure you hold the rope behind your back. When you place the rope on your wrist, it will give you a tug. It is important that you be gentle. You could fall if your grip is too firm.
You will also need to watch for signs. This is so you don't get out before the lift is ready. A sign will usually indicate which direction the lift is going. You can always ask the attendant to help you if you're not sure. You can also ask the attendant to stop your lift. If the lift is slow, you can wait in another seat until the next one arrives.
Consider how you'll hold your skis. It is important to attach both skis to the lift. To keep your foot on a lift, you can also use a Crab Grab and a stomppad. Inexperienced snowboarders should not be allowed to ride on lifts with more than two passengers. This could make it more difficult for you to control your lift. Another option is to look for a lift closer to your destination.
