um... im guessing you are renting a board, make sure when you do that to tell them you are new at this, tell them to explain to you the sizes, and make sure that the take a few minutes fitting you, bindings all that. also, are you in shape? if you are in shape? if you are not, get the boots that snap into the board, its very easy to get up if you are out of shape if you can fast disconnect from the board and put a foot down.

now, you are going to start on the starter slope, youll be happy when you make it down it with out falling down, but thats not really where your issue will lie, youve got to figure out how to turn. lift with your front foot, pressure on the back, and kick outword.

lol dude have fun, good luck. wear SKI pants.
