How I did it: A friend of mine took me snowboarding a few years ago at a huge hill near his house. I borrowed his sister's snowboard and went for it. I made it down almost the entire hill without falling down once. Trust me, that was beginners luck - each time after that I fell nearly 20 times and ended up with major bruises on my tailbone. It was so much fun though! It's nice to challenge your balance and spend the day in the brisk air. I haven't gone since, but I really want to!  

Lessons & tips: Don't get frustrated - just have fun with it! And dress appropriately!
