its much easier

Answer 5

Snowboarding is easier to learn and a lot of fun, but if you want speed, skiing may be the way to go.  Keep in mind that learning control on skis can take time and patience but eventually you will get it.  You are still young enough that you should be able to catch on quickly.  I would suggest also learning to snowboard as it is very different and at times fun for a change.

Answer 6

Why not do both?  If you use a skate board, then snowboarding should be an easy crossover, skiing involves the use of 2 feet, snowboarding will restrict your foot and leg movement. Ask your gym coach for basic tumbling instruction, either sport will involve a fall or 5 until you develop muscle memory that will assist you in standing.

  Skiing allows you 2 free legs and feet, which is more common to most people. For either sport, make new friends, and keep the old.  Both sports are social sports as much as snow sports.

  Enjoy, and take lessons from a professional, you will advance much quicker.
