skiing is easy because you have those stick in your hand thats you can get speed and easy to learn how to ski but i like snowboarding better because it look cooler and more fun....

Answer 5

Skiing is probably easier to learn in one day, but over time, snowboarding is cooler. If you're willing to spend the first few days falling on your butt, once you get the hang of it, snowboardiing is the best feeling in the world!

I also like snowboarding better because once you stop falling, you're less likely to really injure yourself. I always wear wrist guards under my gloves and a helmet when I'm on the big slopes, which pretty much limits your injuries to a bruised butt if you wipe out a high speeds.

Skiing on the other hand- I've known TOO many people to twist knees and do weird stuff. When you fall at speed on skiis, you twist stuff, like crazy- skiis pop off, your body gets thrown around in different directions. Even good skiiers can get hurt like his.

Clearly nothing is risk free, but once you blow a knee it never really recovers. You can get over a broken wrist in 6 weeks.  And it just looks cooler slicing up the mountain on a snowboard!
