Ski or Board

I have booked ski hire and also snow board pack for my hubby he already has all the gear and is not bothered about having tution, so I now have the option of hiring a board and going to lessons or trying to improve on my snow plough for the 8th time any suggestions

hey mel im in shock and i understood what you said but if you cant ski down a black run after 8 skiing holidays with private lessons then i reckon youre not gonna make it at try 9. go for the boarding hun, youll love it, and as i said you could just be a natural

Boarding all the way, just watch out for the annoying skiers who don't give a damn about boarders, even when we help them up, they still hit us with their p[oles when they go down the slopes.
No love lost by the skiers.
