Does anyone besides me have evidence that skiing is better than snowboarding?

Yeah, First off skiing looks a lot cooler in many ways. One way is that when you go off jumps you can make your tricks look a lot cooler because there are at least double as many skiing tricks then as snowboarding. Another reason is that you can ski moguls on skiis.

Due to the fact that skiing is a little easier to pickup I would say start there, to not only pick up skiing but the rule on the mountains, that way if you still want to learn snowboarding you just have to worry about not landing on your backside.

I love it.  I have been skiing for over 40 years and hope to be able to continue skiing for at least another 20 years.  Alpine skiing is exhilerating.  Cross country skiing is certainly an excellent aerobic exercise.\nSome of the places where I have enjoyed skiing are in Quebec: Mt. Tremblant, Mont Ste. Anne; and in Kitzbuehel, Austria.

No.\n\nBut thanks to your "question", I have now learned about a great sounding ski-area.  \n\nThanks very much.

i found myself picking up snowboarding faster than skiing. by picking up, i mean i felt ready to take on the more intermmediate/advanced runs after a day or two of the bunny slopes. one board and 2 turns (backside and frontside) was a lot less to deal with than 2 poles and 2 skis and limbs flailing around in different directions. moguls are harder on a snowboard and more fun on skis. flatter runs are more frustrating on a snowboard. getting off the ski lift seems easier on skis

Skiiing is easier to learn but a lot harder to become good at.  Snowboarding is harder to learn but a lot easier to become good.  You can spend all season trying to acomplish tasking runs on skii's but you could be hitting 15 foot kickers and carving deep powder by the end of a season on a snowboard.

i was watching the winter x games (snow boarding) and they said that is is the same stuff that they use on snow cones to give them the flavor (no joke), because paint does not work on ice or snow! -emily, 13- p.s. go shaun white!!

I do- I use Ride boots and bindings, and my trusty Peter Line board.  I board in Utah, so powder is the only way to go.  (It is the "Greatest Snow On Earth" after all...).  And, to the previous poster, spring boarding is some of the best boarding there is- sun, no crowds or lines, inexpensive lift tickets, and I actually enjoy the slush, believe it or not...

alpine ski racing.\ni like it because you get this awesome feeling when your doing it. your adrineline is pumping and it is awesome! it is also awesome to watch because you see people going really really fast and railing these turns! it isn't the most popular sport in america but you should try it to see what im talking about.

There is no right or wrong place to go. Both BC and Alaska have world class helli skiing.  Just look around and see who will give you the most bang for you buck.\n\nDid you know that cat skiing is cheaper and most time you get more runs per day.

I'm not aware that folks actually 'compare' them - folks simply have an opinion of which they prefer.\n\nTo say one is better than the other is pointless as they are very different sports with different athletic requirements no more no less.

Davos is a pretty good resort, linked reasonably well with Klosters.  It's got a far range of skiing/boarding available so would suit pretty much any ability.  There can be some really good powder too!  A couple of things I'd say though - 1) The linking between runs is not fantastic - you may find yourself taking your foot out of the binding and pushing far more than you'd like. 2) It's very expensive for eating/drinking out/

no sk8boarding is harder because there is no soft landing(especially when ur a dude) the tricks call for variations while flipping. And there r no things to keep ur feet on the board like a snoboard has. And for snobarding u hav that nice soft snow to land on.

snowboarding is alot more diffrent then skateboarding is in a whole lot of aspects..First off your feet are stuck to the board and you dont pedeal at all and the fact you have no wheels under you and your on snow or ice and using your edges of the snowboard most of the time and just the overall fell of the ride is just completly diffrent from each other...Since you skateboard you should have good balance and eye feet cordnation and that should help you out alot as it did with me but thier is alot to learn when you first jump on a snowboard take it easy and simple at first and have fun learning..
