Snowboarding vs Skiing
    #19083627 -

I prefer snowboarding because where I live there aren't any mountains, so I spend a lot of time in the terrain park. It seems with ski's the park is kind of useless. Well not really useless, but your so much more limited than on a snowboard.

What do you guys think??
Snowboard or ski
You may choose only one

I grew up skiing. switched to snowboarding.

Grew up in alaska so both are passions of mine. Snowboarding I love I can bust 540's.

Skiing I would love to get back into because I was pretty good as a kid. Since you land forward I think I could go bigger considering landing sideways can be counter intuitive at times.

I find snowboarding WAY more fun.  On skis unless you're flying down the hill it just isn't fun.  On a board you can butter, float around, pop little 1's and 3's and it just feels a lot more fun.

I grew up skiing from 3-12 then switched to snowboarding and never looked back.

Yeah most of my friends that started out on ski's and switched never went back. I've never tried skiing but since I'll be working for my local ski/snowboard lodge I think I'll try renting some ski's and give it a shot

Skiing is ridiculously easy.  You just point and go.  There's no effort required at all to go down the hill.

snowboarding is more difficult, looks cooler, and is more fun.


I have done both for years

Same here. Exactly.

Yet I would bust 1's and 3's off little kickers all day on my skiis as a kid. I want to get another pair because after gettin good at boarding (way harder learning curve imo) I think I could bust some fat ass shit on skiis.

Snowboarding is harder than skiing at first, however skiing is more difficult to get really good at. Good skiiers are bad ass in the park and back country. I started snowboarding at 12 and never went back

Skiing in the park isn't useless, just wayyyy fucking harder. Every now and again you see some pro shredding it up on the skiis though.

As for me, i've been skiing since I was 3. Lately my parents have had some health issues, and being in college i don't get spring break with my younger sister, so i've taken up snowboarding by myself/with an instructor and lovvvvve it. I won't say i like one more than the other though. I'm much more confident on skiis, but i think the challenge of learning snowboarding is what excites me. I was getting to the point on skiis where the only way to be challenged was to get in moguls, which i hate. On a snowboard, blues are finally hard again

Lol that is a highly simplistic statement. Perhaps if you're bombing greens or confident bombing blues, but there is far more challenge to skiing than bombing moderate terrain...

Of course, but IMO skiing isn't fun unless you are going fast or you have an amazing/difficult mountain to ski on.  I can have way more fun on a shitty hill on a board than on skis.  If I go out west to Kicking Horse or something though I can have fun on either.

Bombing it down a steep hill in a straight line - skiing
Anything else - snowboarding

Okay i gotcha. Snowboards are definitely more versatile when it comes to terrain. Much more to do in the way of tricks and all that. At least for the average joe

Skiing is awesome until you turn from a green into a black diamond.

You have that backwards.  Skiing sucks UNLESS you're on a black diamond, and a hard one at that.
