Don't listen to the pricks on sticks. Snowboarding is so much cooler more fun and you don't have to wear those salopette thingys (NICE) not. They usually come in purple or pink with lime green.

re: BOARDING OR SKIING?

Hmm well I'd say board but (if you get the option of not deciding before you get there) maybe see what the conditions are like. You fall over A LOT generally when you learn boarding so if it's hard and icy maybe skiing would be the better way to go. However if Hornsters predicted dump arrives boarding Smile
Having been on the mountains for 8 years (only a week or two a year mind) I can see each have their place. For purposes of pure fun I think boarding wins purely from the powder aspect. ...

Are you going with other people, if so what are they doing?

re: BOARDING OR SKIING?

one last comment...sking is a sport a competition, you have ski sunday for example were everthing is about speed and competing with each other.

in snowboarding you have freestyle and freeriding...its freedom on the slopes. its no competition...snowboardings a lifestyle!....THATS COOL!

re: BOARDING OR SKIING?

See told you.

Boarders think their so cool. Wink

If there is plenty of snow than do what ever.

If there is only a bit than as a newbie not only will you hurt more from boarding but you'll remove the bit of snow there is on the slopes when you fall. Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad
