Answer 1

I would recomened to take Skiing, its better because you have more control with 2 feet. Some say snowboarding is eaier because there are less boards to worry about but skiing is more for basics. Also Lessons help alot.... like alot, alot

Answer 2

If you're just going for one day and don't want to spend much time falling over try skiing.

Snowboarding takes a few days to get the hang of it to the point where you can make it down a run without falling over or losing control.  Skiing is something you can do a beginner run at quite quickly.

It's much easier to get to a beginner stage on skis than it is on a snowboard.  However once you reach that beginner stage it's way easier to advance your skills on a snowboard than on skis.

I find snowboarding more fun even during the beginning (somewhat frustrating) stages and am glad I stuck with it.

Answer 3

well i would say to try snowboarding cuz its so much fun! & its way easier to stop, turn,get up then skiing. i learned pretty fast,one day & i was over on the FACE (harder trail). but skiing uses less balance. skiing is harder to learn then snowboarding to me

*snowboarding is the 'in' thing  

good luck!*

Answer 4

In that case...skiing. It takes less balance and coordination. But snowboard looks so cool, and tremendous fun as well. I think you'd be better off skiing.

Answer 5

i would go for snowboarding i think its funner once you get the hang of it but it is harder you will fall not hard if your not jumping ramps but if you can get on a lonboard or skateboard or been on one than it almost the same but skiing is easy but you on ride and go side to side and i think its not as fun after a while

Answer 6

skiing all the way my first time ever skiing/snowboarding i did snowboarding and i did not work out at all just start with skiing

Answer 7

looks like skiing is for you but personally snowboarding looks like tons more fun

Answer 8

SKIING.
