Snowboarding: Is this guy full of bull?

well, if he is going up everyday for 4 months that makes more than 100 days up. and you add to that if he knows how to skateboard or surf, that might have helped him and he could have developed the skills he is telling you indeed. Plus snowboarding Is all about knowing how to do it right, then going out and practice the theory of it. I will say he might be saying the truth (or half of it), but it is possible: I only when for 45 days last season and I pretty much got the hang of it, I did some aerials, could grind a little bit and stuff (had some pretty bad falls learning too). But the point is this: as long as you are doing it right and having fun, the rest will come easily if you are really into it and know how to fall and are really courageous and work for it etc etc etc.
