1 year old girl snowboarding!

Keep her on that and watch her muscle development be completely messed up. Kids (should) start out skiing for a reason. The movements are more natural, and young children (babies no less) don't have the muscle to control a snowboard correctly. Kids shouldn't start snowboarding until their center of mass moves from their head to their waist. Shame on these parents.
 
she has good balance for how young she is. at this rate she will be a really solid baorder by the time she turns 6 (the youngest most kids start)
 
Yeap, the most popular name in Keystone SRS this season and last season was "Ava". I think I counted 15 that I taught this season alone.
 
Not shocked. A bit nervous when I see kids that small, but working as a liftie I've seen plenty of little kids like that. For those of you thinking, oh there parents trying to live through them... not the case. In ski towns, its about skiing. or riding, whatever. As soon as the kids can stand or walk they put them on boards. Theres no way that was her first time. When they first start there will be someone behind them to slow them down and help steer them. She must have really caught on fast to be crusin like that on her own. I had a few regular guests that had kids under 2. They would pick them up under their arm and sit them on the chair. It will blow your mind how good these kids get.

In aspen, elementary school through high school, they have a ski team. Freestyle and racing. If you join the team you get out of school early to go ride. Some of the kids are so small you have to help them on the chair. Then you watch them ride and they can carve out perfect turns. I think one main reason they get so good is they have no fear. Plus having pro coaches doesnt hurt either. Im not bullshitting you when I say I've watched 8 year olds throw smooth backflips and 3's. Its fun making friends with them too.

"how was your run dude?"

"I just did my first iron cross"

"NICE!"

Props to that girls parents, imagine how cool it would be to raise your kids and teach them to shred with you. I hope to do the same one day.
 
that is literally a fuckin baby snowboarding. and the board just makes it even more badass.

and when people say they have been boarding their whole life, i bet its not to the extent of this girl
 
dude, i get what you're saying and you're right on many levels. but that kid is only a year old! teaching your kid to shred WITH you is one thing, showing them off and pushing them down a hill is another.
 
Whatever, she's moving about walking speed. She probably could trip and fall over in her living room and hit her head just as hard if not harder on a hardwood floor, should they have a helmet on her in the house too?
