Would skiing be better for me or snowboarding?

What's better Snowboarding or Skiing?

  • Answer:

    i found myself picking up snowboarding faster than skiing. by picking up, i mean i felt ready to take on the more intermmediate/advanced runs after a day or two of the bunny slopes. one board and 2 turns (backside and frontside) was a lot less to deal with than 2 poles and 2 skis and limbs flailing around in different directions. moguls are harder on a snowboard and more fun on skis. flatter runs are more frustrating on a snowboard. getting off the ski lift seems easier on skis

5 Reasons why snowboarding is better. 5) Getting past the first couple of days (which are admittedly painful) can give you a sort of badge of honor to wear 4) No poles, smoother clothes 3) Only 1 snowboard to carry around instead of 2 skis 2) It's easier to jump off things and do fun tricks on a snowboard. 1) It's just cooler, everyone knows this.

Without a doubt, Skiing.

I've skied before and I think snowboarding is better, even though those first few days can be pretty painful. Here's my reasons that haven't been mentioned yet: 1) It's easier to walk around in snowboard boots than ski boots 2) If you fall when you're skiing, you might have to climb back up to get a pole or ski. If you fall when you're boarding, there's nothing to pick up 3) It's much easier to control your speed when you're snowboarding

Snowboarding! * Simpler: less gear (just a board & you!) * Less expensive: (top end snowboard boots = $300, top end ski boots = $1,000) * Cooler: just is ;)
