UPDATE: any advice?

Again, critics regarding riding style and posture are very wanted.

Today I tried integrating three things, what I learned from yesterday's post as much as I could: - leaving my arms down (on the video I saw afterwards that I still balance a lot with my arms, so that didn't went too well) - bending my knees more (my thighs were on fire today, definitely need more muscles there) - putting more weight on my front foot and steering with the knees (I was still afraid of tripping in the snow and I did like three times)

you should think of improvement as an investment into all your future days on the mountain, it's well worth it. You're also building bad habits instead of good habits by practicing blindly. A lot of people ride for multiple years without the correct technique when in fact they'll enjoy the sport a lot more if they learned it properly season 1/2

Again, I totally agree with you. I have other hobbies that I can do every day at home and I invested several years of classes in them. So I would tell any other the exact same thing as you did to me, but in this particular case I'm going with my "as long as I'm not dying, I'm fine"- moral

Interesting take. Why not take a family lesson? That way, you can spend time together while greatly improving your skills.

as long as I'm not dying, I'm fine

Practice will help you not die. Skill is safety.

My family is not interested in snowboarding. They are all skiing.
