i did the whole 8 hours learn in one day thing at MK and by the time i left, i could happily go down the main slope without any problems. Not to mentioni had the fittest instructor..WOW  
I went out to Merrible last xmas for 2 weeks and loved every moment of it. Being a snowboarder you do spend a lot of time on your arse (i have the nickname of snowbum ) by i still say it's MUCH better

It's a lot easier to bail if you're going to quick towards a tree or whatever on a snowboard. Just drop on your arse and that's that.

the slope at xscape is supposed to be alright. Looks bloody steep looking up from the cafe although it does have a lower gradient on one side for beginners
