Into the fall line…

Hey first time posting, any advice would be appreciated!

I went snowboarding for the first time in a while this weekend (local dry slope) and I was having major problems getting the board to point straight downhill

The main issue was every time I tried it the board swayed slightly towards a toe edge turn, making heel-side turns almost impossible (I made a couple of genuine attempts ending in disaster) although I still had problems getting the board into the fall line when going from toe edge to heel as well

Can anyone offer any advice as to what I might be doing wrong?

I should point out im a complete beginner that had lessons a few years ago and have only just started thinking about getting back into it.

Cheers!

Can you please clarify what you mean by:

I think you are having problems making a turn from your heelside edge to your toeside edge, right? Linking turns from one edge to another is commonly the hardest step for a beginner snowboarder - so don’t stress, we’ll get you there. I am more than happy to help you through your problems, just need a bit more information so I can assist you properly.
