I have done both. My take is that skiing is easier to learn, but harder to master. Snowboarding is harder to learn, but easier to master. When you first learn to ski, most people learn pizza and french fries. A good instructor should also teach you how to turn and stop too. But learning to parallel turn on skis is a different story. It is rather challenging to get your skis to move together properly. Snowboarding, on the other hand, teaches you right away how to turn and control your speed. You have to do this right in order to not catch an edge. The punishment for catching an edge takes a toll on the body. But once you learn to link turns and start carving vs skidding, there is not much else to learn. Personally, I prefer to snowboard. The comfort of the boots alone are worth it to me. But I also really just enjoy snowboarding more.
If skiing was easy, snowboarders would do it. -Theodore Roosevelt
Started skiing a month ago, aged 30 and had 4 hours of lessons in the beginning. I am about 4 full days in now, and I can parallel-turn most of the time and do blues and easy reds.
Right at the beginning, it was easy, I got overconfident a bit like yourself and thought I could tackle any blue run and boy, I was wrong. About 7 hours in, it was pure misery, and I honestly thought I would give up. I kept pushing until something clicked, and now it's becoming way more natural. I'm now doing one hour per week at an indoor centre (that's all I have available locally) just to keep practising and perfect my technique.
I did a bit of snowboarding as a kid, so I can compare the two, and everything you said was completely spot on!
I first went skiing in my mid twenties. I am now 77 and still skiing. First timers, take a lesson right away. Even that many years ago my instructor never even mentioned the “ pizza” method. First thing I was taught was how to stop! With my instructor next to me I proceeded many times down the bunny hill. Never fell. I too thought I had it down. After leaving my instructor I ran into the friends I had come up with. All were at least decent skiers They said come with us. I did. The first trail I went down with them I fell…..a lot. When we got to the bottom of that trail, my friend said to me. “ You have nothing to fear. You just made it down a black diamond trail! There is nothing more difficult on this mountain. From that day on I worked on what I had been taught. Every time I went skiing we always went down intermediate and expert trails. Being in my mid twenties and in good shape certainly helped. But the main point is take a lesson first, before developing bad habits. Take a private lesson if you can. You will get the full attention of the pro teaching you. What he taught me I used every trip thereafter. Also, do yourself a favor. Once each year take another lesson. A good pro will tell you what you are doing right, and wrong and your skiing will get better and more enjoyable
good advice there 13:15
My advice is to wear wrist guards if snowboarding.
I always thought snowboarding would be easier than skiing. Do you think you’ll do more snowboarding? Just curious how you liked it. 😊
I’m sticking with snowboarding…it was more fun once I got the hang of it
i'm afraid you made a blind choice because you didn't learn properly.@@DadHut
the key is to have an instructor TEACH you; depending on your ability you'd have been taught how to turn on day one and been able to go up the mountain. then you would have a better and believable video that you can edit showing your progression. Safety first; those trees don't move. Congrats on choosing the right lifetime sport!
I’m 13 years old I did skiing but I found it difficult for me to balance and to move left and right I did one lesson for 1 hour then I went to fast and tried the slope when I went down I fell twice and I found skiing very hard I think snow boarding might be easier and I wanna try what do u recommend?
what was better on your knees?
ski or snowboard?
Skiing is way easier on the body overall
Skiing easier on the body, falling snowboarding hurts more imo, but specifically the knees, I think ski has way more chance of blowing out a knee like ACL vs on a snowboard. I have a bum left knee and started snowboarding with my kids and for all my falls never an issue with a bad twist or anything on the knee in mechanically, maybe a few bruises from kneeling down on my board, but that's about it.
I've done both for years (neither well). Boarding is harder on my wrists and takes more energy. Skiing is harder on your knees, but is very relaxing.
It doesn't sound like you learned any skiing other than pizza and fries at all 😮. Instructors should teach you turns on the first day. It's a lot easier than turns on a board.
Skiing is boring 😂 Snowboarding is fun 🎉 and looks much better
