I have never boarded, but have skiied since the 80's.

EVERY SINGLE PERSON I have talked to who has skiied and boarded, quit skiing, and now snowboards. I would try boarding.

Snowboard will get you laid.

I'm in that group... I did skiing only for 6-8 years, then switched to snowboarding in 1994 and haven't gone skiing one time since.

Speed Skiing is probably the hardest to learn and most dangerous. Going over 100mph means almost any mistake will be your last.

I thought learning to ski was easy. I've never snow boarded.

i only been there once, i usually ski @ sierra-at-tahoe, seems less crowded, cheaper and just as good.

but it's all good, you don't have to drive that far, it's just there.

only if you slide into some trees

ive fallen at some pretty insae speeds doing Super G and DH, as long as you dont hit anything you are find and its actually kinda fun

Skiing can get u laid, if u decide to turn to snowblades . Skiing is waaaay easier than snowboarding, but snowboarding is much better...

define better

i know the snowboard vs skiing arguement is like apple vs PC but id like to hear what you have to say about it and why

 

[z0mb13]

damnnnitt.. which one should I do then..

maybe I should suck it up and try snow boarding

 

[geckojohn]

try snowboarding.... it will take a few days to get decent at it, but it's definately worth it!

 

[jdub1107]

Definitely skiing, IMO.

 

[Mrvile]

Skiing. Snowboarding took me a long time to learn.

 

[Jediab]

What is easier to learn depends greatly on how well your sense of balance is.

 

[dugweb]

snowboarding is more fun... Skiing is more technical.

 

[lobadobadingdong]

Water skiing?

our water doesn't come crystalized down here.

Better as in u learn tricks easier, u have more stability if u no how to snowboard, and u can kick the crap out of ur skiing friend with ur board goin up the hill
