If you look at the amount in the controversy involving the PCSO donation for the seven Catholic bishops, you’d probably be surprised at the huge ballyhoo it has created.

SNOOWWBOARDING HELP!!!?
I’m snowboarding for the first time with a group of friends in a few weeks and I have absolutely NO idea what to do! I need to rent equipment and I have no clue what to rent, I don’t know what to wear, and since we’re in a group and going with our school we can’t take lessons, so any advice? There will be people who are beginners like me to very experienced snowboarders and I don’t want to look dumb!!
Thanks for your help 
michelle is right for the most part. i just wanted to add a few things.
1) you can too warm. it’s easier to take of a coat when you’re too hot than to be freezing and have not coat. you can even bring a face mask! and dont forget goggles. just always try to be as comfortable as possible. that way you’ll have more fun.
2) everyone, including those amazing pros had a hard time for a while. everyone falls like crazy their first few tries. it’s very VERY rare that you’ll be a good snowboarder the first time out out. like, nearly impossible! ha ha. so don’t stress
3) try not to “open your shoulders” this is where people turn their whole body forward, for almost no reason. line up your sholders with your board.
4) for most people if they get “too” much speed they panic… this of course causes you to loose control and fall. just stay calm. even when you want to scream! just stay loose and relaxed
5) keep your knees bent. this gives you more control. and it allows you to asorb the bumps easier.
6) if you want to impress people. try to build up your courage to try new things. you could look pretty cool if you’re a first timer trying toe turns and going faster. but dont try going down like a black diamond run your first day! ha ha!
7) be sure to absorb your falls. if you fall hard, try to make yourself land softer. if you stiffen up you may get hurt more.
NOTE: THESE NEXT TWO ARE I THINK SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
your butt is your emergency brake! if you get going to fast! again… be sure to stay calm! just sit down.
9) you’ve probably heard this every day. but it’s true. just keep practicing! you probably wont be the greatest at first. but if you stick with it. it could be a new love of yours. ha ha! just say with it and you could go far and then you could show up anyone you want.
ps i may use exclimation marks a lot. but dont worry! i’m not yelling! it’s just how i type. sorry if you thought i was mad

We offer several tips for fresh and rusty snowboarders to help you get most of the sensation as much as possible:
Be aware of the gravity. Never choose the most direct way as is not always the safest and the most enjoyable way. You must always be able to turn and brake when needed.
Another essential issue is balance. It’s hard to balance while going down a mountain. You have to get accustomed to your own position which is enjoyable enough and stable on the way.
You must observe certain dress code in order to keep warm. Keep you eye on the weather prediction each time before you get dressed to make sure you’ll stay warm for the rest of the day. It is also necessary to mention that a well-equipped skier or snowboarder has to wear sunglasses or mask. Safeguarding your face whilst skiing and snowboarding on the mountains is essential to avoid snow blindness. Try to choose the best quality goggles you can afford for maximum safety.
Keep in mind that cotton under layer is not the best choice. It’s a lot better to wear a thermal layer next to your skin. Put on layers of clothes instead of warm sweaters and have only one pair of socks. In addition you have to be sure to wear a waterproof exterior layer.
Protecting your skin from sun, cold and wind is also essential. You do not feel the sun’s rays reflected by snow which makes them more dangerous and strong. Some sun cream can protect you from rays and at the same time stop wind and cold.
In order to protect yourself from injuring, you should get into good physical shape. Following some fitness routine and doing exercises regularly can complement your body with the flexibility it needs for skiing and snowboarding.
Being well-equipped is also a viable way to protect yourself. At least you must always make sure to wear a special protection to prevent you from any kind of head injury, professional boots to provide your feet and ankles with stability and support, elbow guards, knee pads as well as a padded jacket and pants.
If you want to learn fast – ski with people who are more skillful than you. There is always something new to learn and train, whether it is how to hit a specific jump, or how to carve a better turn.
Make the most of the winter!
