Skiing and snowboarding


Question Posted Sunday January 28 2007, 2:08 pm

I just bought/rented a lot of clothes and equipment to go skiing within the next few weeks. I've never gone before. I'm pretty excited but I wanted to also try snowboarding. Would learning to ski first be a better idea? I heard it would be easier to learn that but I wanted some more opinions... could I do both in one day or should I wait till next time to snowboard?

i tried both and thought that skiing was easier to learn. now i'm a snowboarder because once you can ski, it's easier to learn to snowboard. i thought snowboarding was way more fun but if you don't have very good balance i suggest you stick with skiing, because with snowboarding you need to lean back on your heels to stop and if you don't have very good balance whenever you go to stop you'll just fall. you should probably just take a ski day then go some other time to go snowboarding. it will help you get used to it and it will also give you more time to pick which one you like better :]


have fun :]

You should really learn to ski first because once your good at skiing snowboarding wont be too hard. I think snowboarding is so much harder but some say its easier. You should first try skiing and if you rly like get it then go ahead and try snowboarding. My friend likes snowboarding way better. Good Luck :)

skiing is easier to learn but snowboarding is easier to get better at. my friend wanted to learn how to snowboard so we went yesterday. the first time she got on the board she fell over but she took one lesson and by the end of the day she was going down a 100ft hill by herself without falling. i love snowboarding and i think its alot more fun than skiing. if you do skiing and snowboarding in one day than you wont have as much time to perfect either one of them so i'd say just pick one and maybe do the other the next time you go to the ski park.
