Tue Jan 27 2026
Think snowboarding is only for the fearless or the super-fit? Think again.
In this episode of Where to Next?, our host Neil Patil sits down with professional snowboarder and entrepreneur Luca Baume for an honest, refreshing conversation about learning snowboarding as an adult.
From choosing the right lessons and slopes to overcoming fear, respecting the mountain, and finding your own freestyle flow, Luca breaks it all down with real-world advice that’s especially relevant if you’re starting later in life.
The episode also dives into the magic of night snowboarding under floodlights—a surreal, slightly intimidating experience that transforms the mountain and pushes you beyond self-doubt. What begins with hesitation slowly turns into confidence, excitement, and that unmistakable rush of trying something new.
If you’ve ever stood at the top of a slope wondering, “Should I even try?”—this one’s for you. Snowboarding isn’t just a sport; it’s a mindset. And in this episode, Neil and Luca remind us that adventure doesn’t come with an age limit—just the courage to take that first run.
