I may be in... might just have to show you boarders the real way to fall down a mountain...
Racing is the only real sport, all others require only one ball.

Skiing has been around a lot longer. ;)

I snowboarded for 5 years, and this year I started skiing. with recent advancements in technology, i feel that it is really the way to go.

I ski as well, i guess i wasnt that clear with my post... but lots of friends of mine that used to ski and have switched to snowboarding, say they'll never go back to skiing... i suppose i should try it one day...

I tried snowboarding and spent much of my day sliding downhill on my ass.

I am not ready to give up my multiple years of skiing experience.

aly, the first day i learned to board, it was one of the most painful experiences in my life. that, and getting schooled by little 5 year olds. but it was tons of fun. before this season, i'd skiied a total of 2 times in the last two years, probably close to 20 days on the board.

i swore that i wouldnt go back to skiing, but when i did a goodbye day to skiing, i was instantly able to carve and jump like never before. guess that's one good thing snowboarding taught me :)

Could it have something to do with the fact that skis have changed over the years. ie) Straight skis are now carving skis thus making it easier to carve than ever before.
