Do you prefer to go snowboarding or skiing? And why?

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?

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.

Look at the pros and cons of doing either one and choose which one you'd be happier doing.\n\nI say Volleyball.

I've been skiing since i was about ten (so about 11 years now) and I tried snowboarding two years ago - i fell so much.  no matter who you are, when you first snowboard, you will fall, and generally a lot.  but that is what makes it so incredible when you are able to make a trip down the slopes without falling.  \n\nOnce the pain is gone, the pride remains.\n\ndont give up - and try it - i am now riding black diamonds and loving it.

The only time snowboarding is more difficult than skiing is the first few days. The first day on skiis you can at least stand up and shuffle your feet around like you're walking, whereas the first few times on a snowboard can be a little rough. After the initial shock, snowboarding is much easier than skiing. It takes a few dedicated years of skiing to get to a point where beginning snowboarders are after half a season.

I just like warm temperatures! I've grown up with them and I've never liked snow! Snow is such a hastle. With warm temperatures you can go out and play golf on Christmas and if it's snowing U have to stay indoors. For example, here in california we were able to see elephant seals mating because it's warn and we're on the northern hemisphere.\nSo..I want/am having a winter filled with warm temperatures.

Definately Winter because of Christmas and my birthday! There's just somthing about the time of year and the hot tea or coffe or the hot chocolate that gets you into the holiday cheer. I also love fall though, becuase it introduces you to winter with the pretty leaves changing.

I like the figure skating, bobsledding, downhill skiing.  My favorite though is curling, since it's the only sport I can do.

Nevada. Right on the border (it's near Sacreamento), there's Lake Tahoe. Awesome skiing place.

I would say skiing, and here is why:  The first day out, you want your kids to have a good time.  If they get a bad first impression, you could be in for fifteen years of boring vacations sitting on beaches or whatever non-skiers/boarders do on vacations. Anyne will tell you that the first day on a board you spend it on your rear end.  I had big purple welts the first time.  With skiing, you fall a little bit, but with separate feet you are at least standing most of the time.  Secondly, when skiing, you gradually progress over many years to become an avid skier.  With snowboarding, you either can snowboard or you can't.  The kids will want to learn to snowboard, despite the bad first day,  once they are into the whole winter sports thing.  So use skiing to get them to have a good time, then, once they are parallel skiing, let them snowboard.  about 18 years ago, when me and my brother were beginners, he switched to snowboarding.  I waited another couple years.  Now I do both expertly, and the one time he tried skiing, he broke his leg trying to keep up with me. He never mastered skiing because he couldn't appreciate the slower learning process of the sport.  kids are impatient.  If they have a bad first ten minutes they want to go home.  If it is too much work to learn something similar to something they are already good at, they won't learn it.  good luck.

Winter. I prefer being cold to being hot too, and I am not a great outdoors person. It did not think others liked winter too.

I like watching the snow fall..how bright and beautiful it is when it is fresh fallen.  I HATE the cold, I hate having to wear layers upon layers of clothes just to stay warm!

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've never tried either of them, but it seems like skiing would be a little easier than snowboarding.
