Jan 09 Learn to Ride Month - Mid-Atlantic

The Mid-Atlantic region hasn't seen a share of changes to the youth demographic...

Tina Rey Santos, 22, of Fort Washington was learning snowboarding at Wisp a couple of weekends after I first went. Santos, like me, was learning with an LTR board.

Her advice for first-timers: "Get an instructor. I guess some people can learn on their own, but me, I need someone to teach me."

Thanks to the instruction, the highlight of the day came when I managed to travel about 20 feet on my own, down an actual incline.Via Washington Post
