hey guys. i bring to you the ultimate question. snowboard or ski?
please vote and please state your argument.

READ THIS: dont include teh arguement that one is more fun than the other. its weak, and depends on opinion.

i personally believe snowboard is for, as i put it, the technically unsophisticated. if you dont agree state your argumrnt instead of just saying im full of crap.


after you see the arguments, feel free to change your vote.

snowboarding ftw
you seriously have to try it
its almost as exhilarating as riding a dirtbike

tahts good. never heard dirt bike compared to snowboard before. i cant imagine that unless there are bumps on teh slopes

Never done either. Though a Snowboard looks more fun. Something about it's maneuverability although some say Ski's are just an maneuverable, I'd rather a Snowboard.

I'm a speeddevil.
Skiing is for me.

i used to ski till the only way of really having fun
on skis was going downhill everywhere. got a bit bored
of it. snowboarding now, and loving it :3

I could give you an essay on how much better snowboards are then ski's, but ill save you all the hassle of reading it so snowboards ftw ^^

Use to snowboard a lot where i use to live, in this old field. Was a lot of fun for me. Til i went into a barbwire fence, hurt a bit. Snowboarding is fun though.

just saw this part btw

if you can't back that up with proper proof as to why snowboarding is for
the technically unsophisticated, then you're full of crap.

i suppose you haven't tried snowboarding, since that would make you part
of us technically unsophisticated humans. srsly, back up your own story
before telling us we have to. i have done both skiïng and snowboarding,
and in the end i found snowboarding more fun. and both require a good
amount of technique.

please tell me you've properly tried snowboarding (as in, you can go
downhill, take turns on it, etc).

I have skied for 13 years of my life, and snowboarded for 5 years. I think that by far for speed, and maneuverability, skiing is much more fun than snowboard. Although I am much better. And in the snow park, skies are much more challenging

Snowboard: Broken a wrist
Ski: Nothing, just a lot of f-ing bruises

skiing is better
takes more skill

wish i could still ski but now have to board because of my knee

I used to ski a lot when I was younger. A lot less snow over the past few years. ;/

Don't know about snowboard. But it looks stylish.

i love skiing but i never tried snowboarding maybe i should try it one day

how can ski be harder? isn't it like standing in your feet?
i don't know so explain, and don't try to insult me since i already said i don't know nabs

i'm 100% snowboarder, just love that feeling of buttering down the mountain.

but, i'll be the first to say that skiers get the best jumps, aka. 360 iron cross, omg so sexy

Funniest thing: a snowboarder falling, because the board doesnt get off XD LOL its the funniest thing ever!!

I liked skiing.

I have a little question too. I'm going to Mont-Tremblant next wednesday with some friends and I haven't tried skiing or snowboarding yet. Any tips on which seems easier to use for a first timer?

Snowboarding for the sexiness of it.

hey hey ) I'm going to Tremblant maybe also! try skiing if you don't want to hurt your ass too! BTW... est tu montrealais?

And by the way, Mont-Tremblant is for experts... I mean there are easy slopes, but most are hard, good luck if you have never done any before

sledding ftw.....nups ...now where did those dogs go...

honestly, start snowboarding. less equipment to carry, lol =P

I started off on a snowboard thinking, it looks so easy, this will be fun. After falling on my face for the like tenth time, I went to skis. Been in love with skiing ever since. I personally think you have more maneuverability with skis, but that's just me. Plus the feeling of tucking yours arms to your side and speeding down hill is amazing.

Skiing is great!

Skiing is 10 times easier than snowboarding. Do you feel more comfortable standing on two feet or on one?
It's not really a great comparison now that I read it over again, but trust me, skiing is easier.

It's a lot more fun, especially for a first time, to really see progress. When I went skiing my brother went snowboarding. After 2 days I went down some easy slopes and really had a feeling of accomplishment while my brother was still struggling with making turns on the snowboard.
I think skiing is definitely easier to pick up at first anyways. In the long run they might be equally as challenging but getting the hang of skiing will happen fast.

The people that are saying skiis are just for downhill and boards are for the park are forgeting twin tips.
