In the rain I think I got splashed on but it's not bad. In the snow I get to jump in, or go sledding and slide down the snow.

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!

skiing to do, but snowboard to watch

Ride a lot, compete and win, get in with some photographers and get published...there are lots of ways but those are the most straight forward. Where do you ride? The best way to get better and get noticed is to ride at a bigger mountain that has a large base of high-talent riders. And it isn't necessarily what you know but who you know. If you get in with the right people and make a name for yourself then you'll be one step closer.\n\nMy advice, just ride and have fun. Don't worry about being pro or getting sponsored. That isn't what snowboarding is all about.

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.

I can do both and I think initially snowboarding is more difficult, but once you get the hang of riding it's much easier than skiing (at least for me). If you skateboard or wakeboard or surf then snowboarding will probably be easier for you. If you know how to waterski then try skiing. I like snowboarding better because you only have to worry about one thing - the board! Having 2 poles and 2 skis that can go flying all over the place when you fall is too much trouble for me =) If you are interested in moguls then learn to ski, but if you are interested in being in the park and halfpipe then snowboarding is your best bet.

If you like tricks and air, then snowboarding is the way to go. I've tried boarding a few times, and enjoy it, but prefer skiing.\n\nThe thing I've observed is when coming down a beautiful powdered filled run off the top of Mammoth, the snowboarders are falling all over the place. Then they are struggling to get up because their hands fall through the deep powerder. I once estimated only 1 out of 10 made it down without eating it.  Meanwhile, all the skiiers seemed to be having a blast, making awesome turns, and just skiing it up. \n\nSo I guess it depends on what you like to do, steep powder or tricks?

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..

I LOVE to waterski, tube, and swim. I've never been snowskiing, but would love to try and I've never been wakeboarding, but it is my goal in life to get to someday.

I Ski and Snowboard.\n\nwhich is more difficult:\n\nsnowboarding. definately.\n\nIt is harder to learn, and harder to master, the balance associated with it is so unlike what so many people are used to.  But - i find it a lot more fun than skiing a lot of the time.\n\nIf i was you, i'd start with skiing (if you've never done either before)  Because getting used to the slopes and over your fear of falling is imperitive.\n\ngood luck

I started as a skier but then tried snowboarding. And now have fell inlove with the sport. I feel that skiing is easier to learn on some basis. Snowboarding is harder and takes pactice as does any sport. But i feel that you get more that a thrill from snowboarding then you do when skiing. But all in all its the person you ask and what they prefer.

I think its really awesome, since so many other American people have gotten themselves injured or just didn't do as well. People like Bode Miller and the speed skater Ohno. At least the US dominates in snowboarding!

Most skateboards like to surf because most skaters live along the coastline which means their peer group is into surfing. I would think snowboarding would be easier to learn tho.
