Getting off the lift on a snowboard is one of the harder things to learn on your first day.
1. As the chair approaches the unload area, keep the nose of your board pointed up so that when you hit the snow you don't drag your board under the chair.
2. Place your free back foot on the board just in front of the back binding once you get to the unload spot and your board is flat on the snow.
3. Push off the chair and ride down the unload ramp with your back foot unattached to the binding.
4. When you slow to a stop, take your free foot off the board and push out of the unload area.
5. Put your rear foot back in its binding and go shred.
