Anyway, I know that after a full day of boarding, my butt and thighs were always sore (no, not from falling). So, just from my experience, I think lunges, box squats, and leg presses and would help. If you need a research subject to test this out on, please let me know. I've been looking for an excuse to head north and snowboard for the past 3 years. Think your college would pay for the trip? ;) -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."

Standing on a wobbly platform (that had a pole holding it up in just the middle) and trying to maintain balance. Emphasis on endurance. I guess it depends on what kind of snowboarding - speed or stunt? -------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan
