Hey folks!
Interesting debate... Safe to say there'll never be a definitive answer!
Never tried boarding and I get annoyed by boarders falling over mid-slide but at the same time skiers can be incredibly ignorant. Not nice to cut people up that are obviously beginners...
Anyway will keep an eye on the debate!!!
Just a spanner for the works, has anyone ever heard of ski-boards? They're coming over from the US and are like Snowblades but far superior in construction. Made ...

No matter what you do be good to yourselves and each other!!! And bring on the sliding!

I bought some "suck it and see" blades a couple of years ago when the skiing confidence took a hammering. They are excellent. It's a bit like roller-skating, there is enough length to slide down the slope, but small enough to skate or stop. And a damm site easier to get up, even without poles. It allowed me to move up slopes and be in control of myself, and have fun in the snow.
Having bought a bigger pair of "proper" blades (~£100)and I have been able to go off piste, ...

Having bought a bigger pair of "proper" blades (~£100)and I have been able to go off piste, and keep up with experienced skiers and boarders I feel the urge now to go back to skiing. (3 years later).
I think the thing with women (and so does Rossignol) is that there is a huge self presevation gene that stops us going at it in the weight forwards attack mode. Hence we fall over and continually put our selves down, shoulders go back it gets worse and so on. The blades have helped me with this so much. I have now gone down blacks, (albeit painfully slowly) but I now know I can safely get down any mountain. Plus, if I'm last back at the bar, it's not my round!!!!
Honestly, darling, try blades... come to Boro.... I'm bringing my spares, just for you, we'll have a fab time. If I can ask you to do just two things
1) come to Boro
2) try my blades, just clunk click into a ski boot.
oh
3) vodka redbull breakfasts!!! x

re: Skiing versus boarding
Love you too Bibbly. . .. a little question. . . .does hubby need to wear his "special" avalanche teeshirt when he goes to the meet, cos he never got to wear it last March and he is very mardy about it ( serves him right for going to france when it was MY BIRTHDAY) and i think I had much more fun at the skiathong than he did skiing down Mont Blanc Julie x (mrs avalanche)
