[@TheDuckVicky]

Im a Snowboarder who went from skiing and I thought skiing was fun until i try snowboarding you can do so many tricks on small lumps and skiing only resorts are good beacuse often the pists are wery steep and that is hard to go on with snowboard but both are really cool the only thing that is bad with skiing is the rich people with thigth clothes

[@Carterschulz_90]

How long did it take for you to learn to carve? I started skiing for 3 years and I switched to snowboard and I only got 5 days in last year. I could do chairlifts and all, but do you think this year I’ll remeber or will I fall? Thanks man!

I love how he just chose the 3 factors in which snowboarding is better. There is no REAL better one, lets just do what we like

[@wogna96]

Personally I prefer skiing, because you're mutch faster and have more control. Also I've never heard of ski only resorts as a Austrian, but I agree that some skiers look down on snowboarders.

[@LeoAndVinnyAdventures]

Skiing is way to easy

[@4oedy]

@@LeoAndVinnyAdventuressnowboarding is even easier whats your point?

[@wogna96]

@@LeoAndVinnyAdventures I don't see how that's a negative. If it's too easy just take harder slopes, ski faster, challenge yourself. That's exactly why I prefer skiing. Furthermore I think skiing is easier to learn, but harder to master.

Can u pls tell me which one is more fun, which one goes faster and what is more fun doing tricks on. I can only choose one so I need help😁

[@Justnsideswipe]

I feel that the fact skiing is more fun to accually do should be more important then how old people do it….

[@Fantasy_book_lover_22]

I personally prefer skiing because it comes more natural to me and there are more areas you can ski. When skiing you can maneuver in back areas more. Also it’s more common to get ski gear

[@petechilimindris9900]

Love that they are both amazing things to do for your preference of fun! In life, ive learned that anything that can make your life fun and have an amazing time is a huge win regardless if people think its stupid or love it. Its about us and us only. Nothing we do as people should even have to do with others' concern of ones loves. If i wanna ski or ride park/street on my blades or if i wanna skateboard/snowboard then that would make ME happy and not anyone else. Do what makes yall happy! The judging of others and hate for wha they do is messed up. Coming from a point of view of a 39 year old kid thats been on snow for over 30 years and done a lot in my life. Hard times and good times alike, life is crazy and when you have a good outlet to express yourself its absolutely a blessing.

[@TrashSatchel]

As of now, I ski, but I have been thinking of dabbling in snowboarding. And tbh I wasn't even aware that there are some people who have beef between the 2. In my opinion, I am just glad to see someone is happy doing something fun on the slopes, no matter what way they go down the hill.

[@ILoveDogs-alfi]

As a skier, I think that snowboarders are less predictable of where they are going and that’s the only reason why I think skiing is better. (I’m also afraid of trying snowboarding)

[@bayareacj1]

No. Skiing is better for many reasons Easier Learning Curve for Beginners: Many people find skiing easier to learn initially compared to snowboarding. The movements involved in skiing, such as using poles for balance and having separate skis for each foot, can feel more intuitive for some beginners. Varied Terrain Accessibility: Skiers often have an easier time navigating varied terrain, including moguls, steep slopes, and deep powder. The design of skis allows for different techniques and maneuvers across diverse conditions. Faster Speeds: Skiers can achieve faster speeds than snowboarders due to the ability to use poles for additional propulsion and stability. This can be exhilarating for those who enjoy speed sports. Freestyle Options: While snowboarding is often associated with freestyle terrain parks, skiing also offers extensive freestyle options with features like jumps, rails, and halfpipes. Some skiers appreciate the versatility of being able to enjoy both freestyle and traditional skiing. Accessibility of Equipment: Skiing equipment, including skis, boots, and bindings, tends to be more readily available for rental and purchase at most ski resorts and shops compared to snowboarding equipment. This accessibility can make it easier for individuals to get started with skiing.

The average age of snowboarders is rapidly approaching 45. Every year there are 2% fewer snowboarders, and you can easily see that it’s dying out. (Except in Japan)

[@chasegimbel1904]

It becomes a problem when them boarders be sitting in spots they've got no business sitting in, I.e. below crests and such. That's dangerous and just outright stupid. Though I've been told by one of them folks that they do it because it's more convenient to get up again.

Honestly, skiing has more control via two skis and both poles, so snowboarding is more challenging without them, but it means when you're good with it, you've done it a lot. In all truthfulness, the better one is whichever you grew up doing, which makes it easier since you have used it mote

I have never tried snow boarding but this is my 2nd year skiing and it was easy to learn but difficult to go from green to blue and even more difficult to get from blue to black but doing jumps and tricks are amazing and it’s vary easy to find cool trails in the woods to ski on too. Ild say snow boarding is a different journey and experience base off of others opinions

The thing is people don’t like how both of your feet are tied together on a board/snowboard and then with skiing you have more freedom with your legs and so if you fall on skis the skis will come off unlike a snowboard

I grow up skiing, started snowboarding as teeneger, my whole family are skiiers also most of my friends. I enjoy riding on groomed slopes, don't go into park, because jumping is scary. I have too much self-preservation and scared of breaking my neck. Also back-country, which I see a lot on KZbin, seem like so much trouble. I like speed and doing nice carved turns. I am in Europe and that's what I see most people doing, even snowboards. Everybody just ride on groomed pistes and noone goes "off road". Over here I don't really see much difference between skiers and snowboarders, but maybe it's because I hangout mostly with skiers or mixed groups.
