The Chairlift Snowboard

One of the more frustrating things for the new rider is the chairlift.
The first few days on the hill, this thing can become a person`s personal demon. Many snowboarding instructors do not spend any time providing their students with good information and tips that will make negotiating this beast a piece of cake.
As riders we all see it; that poor "newbie" starfishing on the unloading ramp or the human debris pile as all of the occupants of a given chair end up in a tangle of limbs and snowboards.
Much of this can be avoided with some simple tips, thus avoiding embarrassment for the "victim" and frustration for the other riders waiting to unload.
