In this episode, we discuss gear essentials, from winter clothes and layers, to putting on your snowboard hardware. We also discuss how to get comfortable on a snowboard before going up the mountain, how to strap in, move around, and get accustomed to the feel of a snowboard on foot. We take a break for a moment to discuss the importance of snowboarding with friends and continue with a walkthrough of how to manipulate your board to get yourself down the mountain.
