Using a snowboard lift involves a few basic steps. First, you will need to skate into a position, with your front foot attached to the board. Next, bend your knees and keep your back foot free. This is to stop you from falling over or getting an edge. You will also want to keep your weight on your front foot to keep the drag lift moving in front of you. Next, you'll need to position so that drag lift travels upwards.
Be sure to have all your equipment before you take off on a snowboard lift. A stomp pad is necessary to keep your foot off the boards, as well a helmet and other protection. You may also want to bring gloves to keep you warm and dry.
Once you have your board in place, you will need to place the front foot of it on the lift. You will then need to position the board so that it is parallel to the 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. Also, try to lean back slightly so you don't get an edge. You will avoid slipping off the board as it moves uphill. Crab Grabs can be attached to the lift's cable to aid in accessing the lift. They are designed to stop you from falling off the chair.
You should not move towards the landing platform when you get off the lift. This will keep you from getting bumped into by other passengers. It is important to keep your thumbs pointed upwards and keep the rope in front of you. You will be asked to tug the rope hard, so it is important not to pull too hard. Do not clamp the rope too tight or you could fall.
Be sure to keep an eye out for signs. This is so you don't get out before the lift is ready. The sign will often indicate where the lift is heading. You can always ask the attendant to help you if you're not sure. You can ask the lift attendant for help to stop the lift. If the lift is jammed, you might be able to sit in another chair until the next one arrives.
Consider how you'll hold your skis. Attach both skis to your lift. A stomp pad, or Crab Grab can be used to keep your foot on top of the lift. You should avoid riding on a lift that has more than three passengers if you're not an experienced snowboarder. This can make it harder to control the lift. You might also consider looking for another lift closer to your destination.
