Can I learn to snowboard at 28?

Ok first off I couldn’t make a post in the noob thread so apologies to anyone this offends or bothers. I’m 28F, my boyfriend is an extremely talented skateboarder/snowboarder which is partly why I want to learn—But I’m also newly sober so I really need some new hobbies that I would enjoy more than drugs and drinking.

I can ski but I’m fully aware they’re not really similar. I guess my question is can you teach an old dog new tricks? I would consider myself average on the athletic scale. I’ve never been an extreme athlete but I’m not a dunce either. My boyfriend already said he has no interest in teaching me because he doesn’t want to put me through that agony and we would probably be fighting before I’m snowboarding which I agree/respect lol. Would a lesson be worth it? Thanks in advance. Tips appreciated too.
