I'm good at skiing...? :/?

Question

I picked up on it pretty quicky and could go down some pretty steep hills by the second time I had gone skiing. My question is, is snowboarding any easier if you are good at skiing? Does it help at all. I'm pretty confident I'll be able to pick up snowboarding as quickly as I did with skiing..?

Answer 1

Knowing how to ski will help a little when learning to snowboard.  But, in gereal it is easier to pick up skiing basics than snowboarding.

Answer 2

I switch back and force all the time, but in my opinion snowboarding and skiing are quite similar. If you can ski good, you can snowboard pretty good.
