It was my first time last year snowboarding at boreal and I was so nervous about snowboarding and the whole thing with renting out gear but the staff was extremely friendly and helpful with finding my sizes and helping me with getting my gear on right. The first day was a bit frustrating to learn how to snow board but I eventually got the hang of it. But by the second day I learned, and man it was so much fun! The lifts were quick even for as many people who were on the mountain. The prices were very reasonable. I felt like I got my moneys worth. As well as the staff, they were really helpful and patience with someone like me who was a first timer. The gear fit perfectly and I had no complaints. Overall experience was 9/10.
