Which is better, Skiing or snowboarding?
It’s my opinion that that snowboarders who try skiing find it easier because they have already mastered balance. Having said that, I think BOTH sports can get boring if all you do is ride up a lift and go straight down the hill, (rinse and repeat.) If you are dedicated to either (or both) sports, there is always something else to progress to. There is no question that freestyle skiers have more variety of tricks than snowboarders do. I’m not saying that snowboarding tricks are easier, but with both feet strapped to a single board, snowboarders are challenged to really do more than grabs, flips, and rotations. When it comes to general skiing and riding, the challenge is up to you to find. I’ve been skiing for over 20 years and I still find stuff to challenge myself. Skiing or riding a black diamond means absolutely nothing. Any moron can make it down a “Most Difficult” slope. It does not mean you rode it well. And where was this Black Diamond slope? I’m a really s#!tty snowboard rider,
