ooooh, sandboarding! I have never sand boarded before @chekohler. In loose sand, I think that the sand would be similar...probably hurts the same when you wipe out. Lol! with the exception of the temperature., my imagination takes me to almost the same place in my mind. ;)

Indeed it hurts bad when you wipe out lol! At least I imagine you don’t have to spent time washing every inch of you to get the sand out of every part of your body

You are right about the washing of all crevices to free them from sand.
Ice is like pavement and gravel so you do your best to stay high (hurts less) and in the powder (also low on pain).
