Snowboarding Q & A

Dawn E asked:


I know there are a few posts about this but…
I’ve never been able to stay on a skateboard, never been surfing and generally am not so good with one board and two legs.
I was a competitive figure skater for 10 years, so I’m thinking that skiing would be a better choice for me.
I’d really appreciate some recommendations. Snowboarding sounds like tons of fun, but I am curious if I’m going to be frustrated because it will be too hard.

    Snowboarding is not hard, but since you cant stay on a skateboard, and you figure skate, I would do Skiing.

    Hey i know what u mean, but snowboarding isn’t as hard as surfing and skateboarding. You are strapped in so falling off is quite difficult. I’m not a big fan of skiing, I dont know if its cause I’m a clumsy guy and end up crossing by skiis and falling, but thats probably it. Snowboarding to me is easier because all it is is balance.

    I think snowboarding. But you will fall alot on that first day.

    Just go when the snow is nice and soft.

    Been boarding 3 years and love it!

    I think snowboarding is easier. the first time I was on a snowboard it was a little frustrating but I got used to it really fast and it is really fun.

    skiing you are gonna fall way to much and its gonna be a pain in the ***…snowboarding would actually be fun..just trust me just trust me….you might fall but it would be way better

    snowboarding is hard to learn but pretty easy to master. the first time I went snowboarding I wiped out quite a bit. so I guess it depends on if it is something that you are going to do again and work on. if you are looking to just go out once this winter just to have some fun then do skiing. good luck on whatever you choose to do.
