Which is funner, snowboarding or skiing?

Question

hey! I'm a beginner snowboarder and my school always has this like annual ski trip so I'm not really sure what to do. snowboarding was a pain in the *** to learn but i still think it might be fun, then again skiing looks a little easier and fun at the same time. Which do you think is funner? any reasons or what not? any experiences? hah okay thanks sooo muchhh!

Answer 1

hey!

well.. first of all - it really depends on the skiing-resort and on your skills.

sometimes it's way easier with skis specially if there are very flat parts that are not really made for snowboarders.furthermore, I think, that you should have a look at the slope and snow conditions - is it possible to do some powder rides, or not, is there a fun park.

another very important factor when you are with a group is - who else would be skiing/snowboardin?? do you enjoy the people you're with?

for skiers there is nothing more annoying than waiting for snowboarders ...

anyway, I hope you find the right set up, and that you guys have a great day!

take care.

Answer 2

I skied for about ten years and it was harder to learn - I wasn't able to do intermediate runs until at least my 10th time, but I feel like I was a really good skier within 2 years. But then skiing got boring and the only thing that was challenging was moguls.

I have now snowboarded for 9 years. It was a little easier to learn and I was on intermediate runs by my 4th day. Snowboarding is really hard to master and be a great rider. Even after 9 years I am constantly learning and getting better because there are so many different things to do.

Snowboarding is a lot more fun - floating through powder, zagging through the trees, pulling off spins, big jumps in the park, carving on the groom - there is nothing like it!!

Good Luck

Answer 3

Well i have never gone skiing before but i can tell you that snowboarding is really fun. It gets more fun as you get better so...just keep on practicing.

Answer 4

Jeez, I dunno about you, but I'm totally set on snowboarding.

I haven't started either one, but I think that both would be cool.

Yeah, I sometimes agree with people, that most people that snowboard to be cool and all that.

I don't think that ALL snowboarders are like that. It's pretty much like skateboarding, and one of my friends likes skateboarding, and snowboarding's baisicly like snowboarding right? Well, he doesn't act "cool" as we are talking about.

I think skiing wouldn't be too bad either. I'm thinking about starting that too, but I'm thinking about starting WAY too many things at once....

Anyway, I'm totally set on snowboarding. Since you like skiing so much, I'd say you should do that. Still, keep that snowboard just in case you want to ride it again!

Answer 5

Ive done both and I think they are about the same difficulty in regards to learning how to do them.  So I would just do which ever your friends do.  That way its easier on the chair lifts and more fun over all if you all do the same thing.

Answer 6

snowboarding for sure! well, its like that for everyone, but it gets better everytime you go, many people give up before they get better, and never get to have the experience of having fun. Skiing is just boring all you do is go down the slope, snowboarding, you get to do tricks when your good enough, and carve down endless powered snow. Having the wind in your face, people looking at you shred down the mountain being jealous, and thinking they should've been snowboarding. Skiing might be easier, idk but they get made fun of more, and its not more fun, trust me, I have friends who ski, and it looks pretty boring, and frustrating because the bindings and boots are a pain, especially the boots that you can barely walk in. Snowboarding is so much better, less hassles. DONT GIVE UP ON SNOWBOARDING
