Best Answer

Balance is needed in all sports.

Edging - the amount of edge your snowboard has.

Torsional twist - the difference of edge angle between the tip and tail of a snowboard. Rotation - where your snowboard rotates from or the pivot point. Pressure - How much or how little pressure is being applied to the edge.

Good balance,courage and the ability to take pain well. You will fall often and may be horrified even to stand up straight when first starting. Be confident that you won't fall, but if you do, don't quit because it will get real easy and fun fast. The best thing to do is to take lessons to prevent youreself from getting seriously injured while trying to teach yourself to stop when speeding down the mountain at about twenty-five miles per hour like me. You may not wan't to pay for lessons the first day you start. First, see if you like it and try to keep your balance on a small hill. You won't be happy if you pay for a lesson and spend half the time trying to stand up.

Pretty much, you need to know how to balance and slow down. All of the other things depend on what type of skiing.
