Hi all, like the other 3 i ski & board, I can fall out of either! I have most fun when I'm out with friends, so the answer is; the people with the most friends

re: Lets get a discussion going
Ah, I think you miss the point!!
By sking anfd having two skis and poles means that it is possible to take out two boarders with one fall, he! he!
But skiers beware, as we were told in the army, dont bunch up as the collateral damage will be higer in the event of a strike by an out of control boarder!!!
Ok so now we're arguing over who can cause the most damage - skiers or boarders?
I can see only one sensible way to settle this. It may take some time to set up... but who's up for a snowman-decapitation contest?
It seems that Boarding has a lot more skill than Skiing, a Boarder seems to be able to pick skiing up fairly easy, but Skiers struggle to Board. But which is the coolest?
Surfing or water skiing? - Definitely surfing.
Roller skating or skateboarding? - Skateboarding of course.
Snow boarding or Skiing......There is a theme here, 1 = cool, 2 = not cool.
I Board, my mate of 25 years skis! As long as you are on the slopes - enjoy!
depends on your definition of fun,is it:
1 how fast you can get down the mountain.
2 whether you can nip off the edge of the piste and ride in the powder.
3 that you can ski/board with others and see with blinkers or have all round vision
4 whether you look cool or not
5 whether you drink wine or Jagerbombs
6 taking risks or arriving safely
7 flat runs or steep blacks
I started out skiing in the 80's then took up snowboarding 12 years ago as a new challenge and to try something new ...

For me personally i find snowboarding gives you a greater feeling of being free on the mountain, in comparison its the difference between a motorbike and a car, a car gives a sense of security and protection whereas a bike gives you a sense of freedom.
I still do both but more snowboard than ski.
