Looking to learn to snowboard and skeptical of blowing money on lessons?

This weekend, Denverites will have a chance to study snowboarding for free at Ruby Hill Rail Yard in Ruby Hill Park.

Winter Park Resort Snowboard School teachers will be on site to work with students.

There will be 60 sets of gear — boots, bindings, board, helmets — for guests. And conditions could be even better if some of that snowfall we're expecting Thursday sticks around.

Too scared of snowboarding? The tubing lane will also be open, with free tubes to use.

The fun runs from Saturday, March 16, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

After that, the Ruby Hill Rail Yard will close for the season.

Kyle’s been obsessing over Denver since he moved here from Chicago in 2005: What is this place? Who thrives here? Who’s pushed out? Who has room to create and fulfill their dreams? Whose dreams are squashed? And why? He’s the former culture editor at Westword, where he covered the city’s arts and music scene. Before that, he covered city and state politics as the managing editor at the Colorado Independent. He’s raced triathlons (slowly), grown food (well...with others), and toured the country in a folk-punk trio (apologetically). Now, he's reporting about Denver's growth and couldn't be happier about it.
