Naah - wouldn't worry about this at all.  A few years back I was out 
with a video camera interviewing never-evers in ski and snowboard 
school... asked the skiers how it was going, and they all said 
'pretty good.'  Asked 'em if they'd return, and most said 'maybe.'

Same process with snowboarders.  How's it going?  "Man, this is hard. 
I've never been so sore."  Going to return to try it again?

To a man (and woman):  "Absolutely!!!!"

I'm more concerned about the timing than anything else.  Pick your 
resort wisely; Thanksgiving weekend at most resorts can be a clusterf*ck.
