Horrible at snowboarding should I try skiing?

  • Answer:

    Skiing is waaaaaay easier than snowboarding. I've skied and surfed for over 25 years. I can snowboard well too. But skiing is much, much easier to do than snowboarding for several reasons: You can move your feet independently for balance, locomotion, support. You have 4 edges, not two. You directly and pretty much constantly face the terrain coming at you. You have poles to steady you, offer a prop and give you far better balance under motion that arms alone. And of course you don't have to hop, knuckle-drag or clip in/out every single time you get on and off the chair.

Try skiing, I love it. Last year I took my bf skiing, but he had to try snow boarding first, well he was horrible at that. I couldn't understand it, he was good at everything else. So I made him take the snow board back and get skis he did so much better.

Sure, might as well try! I went skiing and snowboarding for the first time this yr. I personally found snowboarding to be easier for me. My two friends who came though both thought skiing was easier..and the lady working there said skiing is easier! I don't though...I guess it just depends!! Good luck!

I would, if your not too good at sliding down the hill sideways, than why not try forward. There are many debates on which one is easier. Also if you want to stick with boarding make sure that you have the right foot forward, literally I tried snowboarding "regular" and was horrible, the next time I went "goofy" and have never gone back.

skiing is much easier then snowboarding, ( i can do both) but I love snowboarding because it's more challenging, and the falls when skiing are so much more painful! maybe you just need to take boarding lesson? if not, then just switch to skiing, and have your boyfriend help you:) have fun!
