Video Transcript

"In this segment, we're going to be talking about orientation of the mountain, getting to the mountain if you don't know your way around right away, just take a few minutes to look around. If you?re just a beginner, you want to be sure to stay to the areas where the pitch of the mountain is a lot less. That way you won't be in over your head or pick up too much speed without wanting to. If your more of an advanced snowboarder, your comfortable with your carves and turning down the mountain, feel free to explore. There's more challenging lifts that access steeper pitch areas. The runs go from green as the easiest to blue, black, and double black diamond being the hardest. Don?t be intimidated by the signs or what it says it is. Trust yourself and go for it."
