Because there is such a lack of tricks in snowboarding..so much more you can do with 2 planks instead of 1

Because in the past 8 years snowboarding has become the trendy thing to do. If I am good at skiing, why would I waste my time snowboarding so that other people can think I look cool? I'm a skier for life.

I say because you can be way more innovative and creative on skis, and when u land switch u actually land backwards no the other sideways.

i dunno if its true, but ive heard that:
Snowboarding is a bit harder to learn, but much easier to master
Skiing is easier to learn but harder to master.
i guess that just depends on the person tho

Why do I ski? Because I'm a better at skiing than snowboarding. Simple.

''Independence is for the very few; it is a privilege of the strong. And whoever attempts it even with the best right but without inner constraint proves that he is probably not only strong, but also daring to the point of recklessness. He enters into a labyrinth, he multiplies a thousandfold the dangers which life brings with it in any case, not the least of which is that no one can see how and where he loses his way, becomes lonely, and is torn piecemeal by some minotaur of conscience. Supposing one like that comes to grief, this happens so far from the comprehension of men that they neither feel it nor sympathize. And he cannot go back any longer. Nor can he go back to the pity of men.'' -my buddy, Fred

because when every single one of my friends switched to snowboarding only because it was the cooler looking thing to do, i became resentful. plus you can go faster and hit bigger jumps and refrain from sitting on your ass most of the day

when people ask me i tell them this:
i want to bring my style to skiing. i may not be freakin good, but god knows there are enough people like me in snowboarding. and snowboarding is cool, but so are gay people. being queer will be as trendy as snowboarding soon. think abot, they are the alternative ones, they are extreme in terms of their lifestyle, and like snowboarding they just want to be accepted everywhere.
oh, that and turning on skis is the most amazing feeling ever. like carving, real live carving

i ski because the snow gods told me to when i was a child. it was amazing, i had plastic skis at the time, and i was trying to ski down a bench. and then it hit me: i should go skiing.

This should sum it up for any freestyle skier.

To be different and apart of something so new and young and badass. We are the future of a new and undefined sport. Word.

sherpasrock - ' dunno if its true, but ive heard that:

i guess that just depends on the person tho'

Actually it's generally the other way around.

But I ski cause it's way sexier and more stylish than boarding, and face it, snowboarding isn't the rebel underdog now, it's the trendy thing, newschool is the underdog rebel now. I like the reality of that.

I started skiing, then everyone started switching to snowboarding. But I was already experienced on skis, and loved skiing so much already, that I just stuck with it.
