tried snowboarding and it was hella easy.
Didn't do it this season, did it like 5 days last season. I 3'd on my second day snowboarding. It's just easier for people to spin on it.

i love snowboarding on flatboxes haha, you never run out of ideas for tricks to do. I have to try so hard with skiing, sometimes i hit a creative writers block and dont even hit boxes.

i new how to ski and i could do small boxes and 360s but i wanted to do something that was more like surfing and skateboarding so i snowboarded for a while and i still do occasionally but i got really into skiing.

I tried snowboarding last weekend for a lil bit...i caught on pretty fast but thats my extent with it. I was already doing 270s and shit on the ground with it, its pretty easy to get a hang of. I enjoy skiing much more, I think my boarder friend is gonna switch.

I have always skied, i skied when it was un-cool, i skied when snow blades were the cool "skis", and now i still ski when it is cool. Actually it always was cool, it just took some of you guys a while to figure it out

I was skiing for two years before I switched to snowboard, and I have been snowboarding for 7 years now. But last year I tried a pair of skis again and I realized it was a 1000 times more fun than snowboarding, so this year I got a pair of K2 Missdemeanors and now I do both!

i snowboarded for 4 years

I was watching CR and Tanners segs with some kids who skied at this condo about 3 years ago. I thought skiing looked ill and i kept thinking about it more and more and finally decided to demo a pair of 1080s the next time i went up. I had no idea how long it would take for me to learn jus how to ski again but i progressed a lot faster than i thought, slid this flat wooden handrail my 3rd day, sold my snowboard and never looked back

Skiing like 20 or 21 years, boarding 18. When I started snowboarding it wasn't allowed at many areas. Now I do both about 50/50.
