Not yet, but I'm hoping to try it out at Tamworth's Snow Dome next year. I don't think I have the nerve to have a go on Aonach Mor yet!

Tried it once when skiing - bloke says an hours lesson is most you'll need - then just practice.
It's great fun - you'll discover some interesting ways to achieve rapid deceleration.
Needless to say, me & the mates thought it was safer to stay on 2 skis.
1 bit of advice - if you lose it just pray you've got at least 100yds of clear piste (usual stopping distance for novices)
Enjoy

Not long to your Snowboarding adventure now, are you psyching yourself up well? 
Where are you going to do it anyway, you haven't told us anything!

Smooth moves on the Snowboard, you're making it look too easy!
