Question

Which is harder to learn skiing or snowboarding?

Answer 1

snowboarding is way harder

Answer 2

Snowboarding for sure, but once you learn it, it is probably a lot of fun.  I am skier, but I have tried snowboarding before and I found it near impossible!

Answer 3

Skiing because of the two, separate and longer boards under you.

Answer 4

skiing...i snowboard...but i think skiing looks harder!! you have to keep both skis straight forward or else you might do the splits!!! ouch!

but i would like to try skiing

Answer 5

well ima snowboarder. and i think skiing looks ****** up.

Answer 6

Snowboarding.

I think it takes a lot longer to get a sense of your balance and the motion (unless maybe you already skateboard or surf). You're also going to fall a lot more snowboarding, so be prepared.

Both can be very frustrating if you're the type that gets frustrated easily. If you have a patient teacher and some patience yourself, you shouldn't have a problem learning either one.

Answer 7

snowboarding.  you have to learn to balance yourself and you sit differently than skiing.

Answer 8

actually both are pretty hard to learn but if you stick to one you can learn quickly.

Answer 9

I'd say skiing.

Answer 13
