Big Bear Snowboard or ski?

Question

i've skied once before and i wanted to try to snowboard tommorrow (rent at the summit). would it be safe if i snowboarded down with no experience. or should i stick with skiing this year. suggestions or how to snowboard would be appreciated

Answer 1

Big Bear is infected with beginer snowboarders so I think it would be a good fit.

Always try new things.

Answer 2

Go ahead. I'm sure I'll be calling your wreck into the Ski Patrol.

I'll be surprised if you make it to the bottom of the Magic Carpet.

Answer 3

I skied for a little while, then i snowboarded

so i have a pretty good comparison

snowboarding is a lot funner then skiing

skiing always felt boring but snowboarding never gets boring

WARNING!!!!!

there is a higher risk for injury while snowbarding

Answer 4

I wouldnt swich off. Stick to one thing, GET GOOD AT IT

Answer 5

go with the snow board.  You will find that the board is much easier to pick up.  But... you should at least get a group lesson to pick up the basics t he first day.  and no. Going to the top of Summit with no experience on the board is not a good idea.  Its and easy hill but get your feet wet before you go to the top.;
