Is sking easier then snowboarding?

Question

Is sking easier then snowboarding?

Answer 1

well it depends, do you skate board or surf? Ive done both and there as equally as challenging (especially when stopping with ski's its harder to fall lol) but try both and see which one you like more.

Answer 2

yes.

i tried snowboarding out for the first time about a month ago. it was horrible, all i did was fall-fall-fall. haha. i could not get the hang of it.

so the next day i attempted skiing. 100% easier i think. still fell a bit. but not nearly as much as on the board.

i guess its also easier to learn to ski on short skiis. so if you rent, ask for the shortest ones they can get you.

one day id like to learn how to snowboard, but im having enough fun learning how to skiing for now.

Answer 3

Yes and no.

Yes:  it's easier to walk onto a slope, rent skis and be able to do a few runs without much frustration or lessons.

No:  once you've gotten to the point where you can do some runs without falling it's quite hard to learn skills to become an advanced rider.

Snowboarding seems hard for the first few days and involves a lot of falling and just hanging out on the easiest green runs you can find but after that you have all the skills you need for pretty much any run and developing skills from there is a blast.

Answer 4

Sking is easier at first then gets harder

Boarding is hard at first then gets easier
