Got a bit of a dilema!I’m going boarding on satdee with a few mates. They have all boarded before but I haven’t, although I’m a decent skier. I gather that conditions up top are OK, so should I stick to the trusty ski’s and go up top, or should I board lower down.... Probably on my own!!
re: HHmmm. Ski or Board?
given the current conditions, i would stick to the skiing. Snowboarding is hard enough when starting, then factor in hard ice and possible bare patches. At least on the skis you will have much more confidence. Just my opinionre: HHmmm. Ski or Board?
To be honest I think I'd agree.re: HHmmm. Ski or Board?
when learning to board you spend a lot of time falling on your bum, this is great fun in soft snow, but wouldn't fancy it on ice

I know, but I really wanted to try boarding this year.... Skiing is a tad boring.. (No offence you ski freaks!)re: HHmmm. Ski or Board?
you could always wear the padded shorts, knee pads and elbow pads, falls won't hurt as much, plus if you can board on ice then it should be easy when you get better conditions.I've converted from ski-ing to boarding, it's so much more fun but does hurt a lot more in icy conditions.

beter to learn when conditions are poor then your not wasting good skiing time when its great.re: HHmmm. Ski or Board?
