Snowboarding or Skiing? It will always be a toss up as long as they both exist. There are die heart boarders out there who say they wouldn't ski in a million years and then there's the skier's who say they won't be caught dead on a board. I have experienced them both first hand and personally they both have there ups and downs. I first started off boarding like any other young teenager did back when they were that age. I would go everyone once in a while and have a blast with my friends. Not until recently have a ever gone as much as I have this year. I can do the rails, i can do the kickers and have a decent amount of control. It took me a long time to get the hang of it but I finally feel comfortable with my board while on the snow. But on the other side.... Skiing. I recently started skiing this year. The very first attempt at skiing was miserable. Trying to stop on my edge instead of snow plowing ( pointing the tips of your ski's together creating a snowplow) I nearly flew off a cliff in the process. I quickly got the hang of it and as soon as I did; I was off. The feeling of going down an icy/snow covered mountain with two things strapped to your feet is like none other. You carve to the right, you carve down back to the left. You don't need to carve at all.
Either on Ski's or a Snowboard; flying down a mountain at those speeds is priceless. Skier's will be skier's and snowboarders will be snowboarders. Get through the small differences and they're basically the same.
Both people are looking for a good time on the slopes.
Snowboarding or Skiing; which do you prefer?
