re: ski or board

I have often thought about doing the same myself, I've got 25 years skiing under my belt but when I go skiing now I always think should I give boarding a go.
What normally changes my mind is the thought of spending a lot of my time on my backside.

re: ski or board

well the only advantage is that you have a choice of things that you can do when you go away. i have been skiing for about 5 years and gave boarding a go. i enjoyed it for a little while untill i went down a red run and wont get on a board agen.deff prefur skking.

Give it a go avalanche. I'm a skier of 18 years but boarded for a season a couple of years back. This season I'm taking up free heeling. Always a good thing giving other sports a go.

Your post made me wonder a little Olly.

53 words spelt consecutively right - followed by 4 wrong.

Any reason why?

re: ski or board

I would definitely give it a go avalanche. I'm loving ti and as noodles says get flow bindings and it saves you heaps of time. You'll have great fun with your kids too..good luck Razz
