After trying to skate/slide down the bunny hill, you will now have to learn how to move up the slope. You can do it by inching your way up while both feet are attached to the board. In this section, learn how to move up the slope with both feet strapped in:
STEP 1: Start off by finding a slope with as little human traffic as possible. Face uphill and with both feet strapped in, assume a frog-like position - toe edge on the snow, knees bent, and your hands planted on the ground just like in the illustration.
STEP 2: Begin inch worming by moving your arms forward. Then, gradually extend your legs. Make sure your Snowboard is still on its heel edge. This position is quite difficult to make because of the weight of your body and the inclination of the slope. Just use your arms and your heel edge for support.
STEP 3: This step will require a considerable effort on your part. Without moving your arms, pull your legs toward you just like what a frog's hind legs do when it hops. It helps if you elevate your Snowboard and use your knees to move forward.
STEP 4: Repeat the steps until you have inched your way up the slope. If you can perform this move well, then you won't have a hard time going up the slope with your Snowboard still attached to your feet.
Moving up the slope in this manner is quite tedious so you can only perform it for short distances only or if you can still endure doing the steps repeatedly.
