Teaching a 5 year old how to snowboard

We like the toe-to-toe method holding hands and verbally signaling each turn initiation. After they have gotten the hang of it you can switch to holding with one hand and have the trainee point their free hand out where they want to go. Find a good open flatter are usually neat the chair lift base and start to let go! They will get the hang of it even if they crash a few times.
