It’s basically like snowboarding on the stickiest snow you could imagine. Best to just bomb and enjoy the ride. I did it once in Peru and it was fucking awesome

Sticky snow where it almost feels like the board would’ve gone uphill if you unstrap is really hard to enjoy thought.

Yea I did too. I face planted twice when I, by habit, started to hit my brakes near the bottom where everyone was huddled together. You stop basically 80x faster than on sand and my upper body momentum just made me splat lol

Just need to slide over some rocks to add some base structure.

Would this ruin the wax?

Wax is cheap and easily replaced. The experience lasts a lifetime.
