When and where are you going?? We ride Golden pretty much every weekend, might see you up there!
Sometimes it's not a matter of doing it with ease as much as just doing it!
I've only been riding for a few years but always in the mountains out here. Best thing for first time out is not to be too intimidated by your surroundings. It's all riding but if you're not used to having mountains around you and perhaps some steep or narrow areas you can let that overwhelm you and it can take away some confidence. Be aware of your surroundings and play safe, but remember to be confident and if you don't feel comfortable in an area, don't go there. Nothing to be nervous about...you're going to have the best time ever just relax and enjoy it!
Baby steps, baby steps, baby steps. I had ridden sleds all my life but mostly just logging roads and stuff like that near our cabin. Then I got my first mountain sled a couple years ago and it was like learning a new sport all over again. I have a really good sled buddy so if I got stuck he was there to help. I just started on the smaller stuff and worked my way up once I figured how to control the sled.
Oh and have fun.

Ladies,
What do you wear for winter boots while riding? I have the grey ladies skidoo boots and they are horrible. I wore them all last yr and this year and my feet FREEZE! Any suggestions on good warm boots? Does not have to be skidoo, just want my feet to not be cold!

I wear a size 9 in Women's and the 7's are pretty snug with my favorute pink wool socks on...
PS- the socks are not only incredibly sexy, but also extremely warm. They are cross country ski socks made by Bridgedale, that I got from Valhalla Pure Outfitters. I think they are probably a big factor in my warm feet!

Yup, I'm the same- I was totally kidding! My husband actually hates these socks with a passion, and my daughter rolled her eyes when I wore them on her class ski trip. I don't think they are that bad and anything that keeps me warm and happy while frolicking in the snow is sexy in my books!!

I have a $50 pair of snowboard boots that have lasted me years. The keep me warm and mostly dry. I bought a pair of Klim boots last year and hated them after using them once. My feet hurt and they were very cold... That's just me though. Lots of women love either the Klim or the HMK boots.

Thanks for the report back. Sucks the sled didn't work.
I agree with Chelle... baby steps. If you go too big too fast you will either wreck or get a fear... that's never good. Try to ask lots of questions and just practice moves. Try standing, it's easier to move around in the powder.
