Learning how to ride on the snow can be difficult but there are those who are willing to teach the art of gliding on fresh powder. Ski instructors are great people because they love to share their knowledge and passion of riding well on the snow. They understand how great it feels to go really fast on a black diamond slope in the middle of a powder filled alpine mountain. The sensation is balancing and well worth the effort to get on those skis or snowboard over and over again until balance is achieved. Sometimes, the instructor has a great sense of humor and wears a bear suit to make the kids more comfortable.
