Balanced Body Position

Author: Jeremy Sheridan - Snowboard Instructor (CASI 2)

The balanced body position is a stable and responsive body position for snowboarding; it allows for quick reaction to terrain changes.

Key points

• Even weight on both feet.


• Slightly bent at your ankles, knees, and hips.


• Body aligned directly over your snowboard.


• Back straight and shoulders aligned over your snowboard. Don’t bend forward at the waist.


• Arms by your side for balance and aligned over your snowboard.


• Head up and looking in the direction of travel.
