MY friend wants to know skii or snowboarding..?

Question

for a fat person.... which one would be easier /:

Answer 1

I ski and snowboard, the only reason I would recommend skiing is that many heavy people find it VERY difficult to push themselves up from the ground. But if he is strong this wouldn't be an issue.

Skiing also has the disadvantage of being VERY hard on your knees. I have good knees and skiing is still hard on them.

I personally prefer snowboarding.

Good Luck

Answer 2

snowboarding because it is way easeyer to snowboard ad skiing is the dorkiest thing around so i wouldn't let any body see you with skis on besides like i said snowboarding is easeyer and by far the coolest around

Answer 3

His call really.. go to rental shop and try both is probably the best option.. Snowboarding has a much faster learning curve.. but the first day or two can be frustrating..

Skiing is easy on day one.. but I've never seen a skier progress as much in year one as i have seen many snowboarders..

Bottom Line: Go try them both out..

Answer 4

For almost any person skiing would be easier. You have much more control over how you spread out your weight and a better chance of balancing yourself if your about to fall.

Answer 5

well skiings easier but if its harder and people do it, it must be way more fun. and it is!

Answer 6

friend? dont lie. everyone know its you!!.. lol jk skiing will prob be easier.. less movement. with sowboarding you have to have strong abs and thi/cave muscles.. and you fall A LOT harder snowboarding.. aka superman it to the ground

Answer 7

lend your friend some skis and let that person try both

Answer 8

Skiing is really easy to learn, but harder to master, and snowboarding's WAY harder to learn, but easier (relatively speaking) to master.

I love snowboarding, (as you can tell by my name) but i'm sad to say i think he should ski, because skiing feels more like normal standing, and snowboarding, for a heavy person, they'll tip right over on thier stomach or back.

hope that's what you're looking for!

have a great day!
