i think so. the best skaters keep a quiet upper body and flow and can fire off hard tricks like it is nothing.

I think it helps change your perspective on ways to hit features and helps with balance/coordination... skating is way harder than skiing, in my opinion.

Even just watching skate/snowboard/surf/whatever videos gives you new ideas to take to skiing, so I'm sure it has an effect on style at some point.

I started skating before skiing (freestyle at least) and I definitely find it affects me. I had the biggest issue with poles when I started cause I like having loose arms. Keeping a relaxed upper body is huge in skateboarding so I find it crosses over to. It affects your trick selection a bit to.

Great example of skateboarding style:

i think skating affects my trick selection and riding style, skateboarders always do some really creative shit and it gets me really stoked and later i try to do something like that while skiing.
