I'd be puffed out after 3 hops, snowboarding is exhausting

You get used to it and your body builds strength in the right places when you do it regularly.

Like, earlier this season, I went to show my buddy the new shack on the the mountain (every mountain has a "secret" shack somewhere for 420 breaks). To get to it, you have to come from above through some technical stuff, or hike about 50 yards in from the side. I opted to hike, since my friend is still a bit of a noob. I started tromping through the knee deep pow, and turned around about halfway there to find homie panting and struggling about 5 steps in. I had forgotten just how exhausting hiking in deep snow is for people that don't do it regularly. 

Lucky for him, he built up some chops this season, and can now ride in from above and out below.
