Skiing - Do you know how hard it is to pick your a$$ up off a hill with a board attached to your feet so you have to move them together???

OMG, I love the snow!!!!  It snowed 6 inches the other day, and I am so excited, I can hardly stand it!  The best part of snow is skiing, who else likes to ski?!  My local resort opens the 24th, I can't wait!

for southern california just going up to big bear or lake arrowhead for a day would be awesome :] they have tons of patches of fresh snow that you could build snowmen with or sled down some nice bunny hills, theres also an ice rink and a lake that has snow around it so you can throw rocks in the water or something :) have fun!

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.

Most definitely winter. I love being outside (except for this darn addiction problem) and not much interested in being cold or participating in winter activities. Seems winter is too long and cold here in the Northeast U.S.

if you are a beginner at snowboarding you need to get an instructor they are very helpful! my step brother has been workin at ski resorts for a very long time so i have been snowboarding and skiing. its very fun. the first thing you need to do is if your snowboarding is stay on the bunny hill for a while to get used to snowboarding than work your way up ask some people to help you better understand it more and find a ski resort with a lot of snow

Definitely Soccer for Men and I think probably volleyball or snowboarding for women.  Rock on!

VOLLEYBALL--HANDS DOWN! I grew up in Huntington Beach California so it was as common to me as breathing. I do, however, need to play with those who know the rules. GGGRRRRR to those ball hogs, and you know who you are.;-P\n\nHorseback riding is a great one! I love the scenery up here in the mountains. Being with the horses on the ground is much more enjoyable for me though, they are an awe to be with and I love all of their expressions.....hey I am drifting off the subject here...sorry. \nUmmmm I think swimming and ice skating are equally good sports wise. Both can be done year round and both are cardio and can give you a sense of well-being. \nI can think of another, but since there is really no age resriction here I won't mention the other.

I LOVE SKIING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i also started skiing and switched to snowboarding after like 5 years of ski exp.  I got on the mountain day 1 with my snowboard, went to a green trail, did 2 or 3 runs before I was bombnig down blues and soon single diamonds. I kid you not, it was extremely easy for me to pick up having a ski backround.  Just read up online on how to turn on a snowboard and remember it when ur on the hill.  if you google 'how to turn snowboard' you will find pages.  A snowboard is basically a big ski.  if you have the curve skis then you know how easy it is to turn: you put some weight on your right ski at the big toe and take the weight off the left to turn to the left, more pressure and lean = sharper turn.  as you let off the pressure your skis fall back to straight down the mountain.  just remember the principles of where you place weight to turn and apply it to a snowboard - heel edge to toe edge.  Just be careful to not prematurely shift the weight to one edge while that edge is still downhill.  i.e. you turn to the left on your heel, and then while still facing diagonally on the slope you shift to the toe edge.  You have to let the board return to its natural downhill direction before doing this or you will just catch the edge and fall on your face.  just work it all out in your mind with what you know from skiing like I did and you'll be fine!

In Southern California, your best bet is either Snow Summit or Bear Mountain (both in Big Bear). I don't think either place has great snow right now, but they're better than the other other local ski resorts (Mountain High, Snow Valley)

definately take lesson.  don't try to be a good skier/boarder if you aren't, you will get hurt.  work your way up, when you feel comfortable you can start and stop and turn to avoid people on the green circles, move up to a blue square.  don't try the peak on your first run!

SNOWBOARDING!!!!!\n\nskiing is fricken gay\n\n\nif you fall all your skis pop off and you drop ur poles and then you have to climb halfway up and down the hill to get your stuff, and you have to try getting your feet in on a 60 degree slope withch is pretty hard\n \n\n\nif u fall on snowboard you just roll over and stand up\n\n\ni used to ski but now i snowboard\n\n\nthis winter i crashed off a huge jump and broke my hip and femur if i had been on skis i prolly would have broken my neck too. \n\n\nso snowboarding is better

It depends what activity specifically you are doing at the time.  For example, bump skiing woild burn more than snowboard carving; however smowboard halfpipe would burn more than powder skiing.

kinda bias answer but I'd go salomon.  rossi just hasn't been producing noticable skis lately.

I skied for three years and currently I'm snowboarding for the seventh time. After two years on skies I got fed up with it, al these little children passed me and they were much better. So I started a snowboarding course. It is harder to learn, although in my opinion, but I've had a lot of fun with it and still do. Indeed especially powder riding, and all these little tricks.
