Snowboarding or Skiing?
 

Which have you tried (if any) and which do you prefer to do?

Not tried any but I think snowboarding >

I have done Skiing and I think I got alright at it. I wanted to Snowboard but I was 7 when I first went on a winter sport holiday and my parents made me learn skiing first and I don't think I can be bothered to learn Snowboarding now. Haven't been in a couple years though, would love to go again soon.

None, would like to try skiing but Id imagine Id be absolutely crap :laugh:

thought it said snowballing at first havent tried that but would like to

Skiing definately, i think because i started at such a young age about 10 and didn't try snowboarding until I was about 18. I seem to be able to get more speed up when I am skiing, i found the snowboard a bit cumbersome.

I imagine Skiing is way better because you're actually facing foward.

I've only ever tried Skiing, I had aches in muscles I didn't know I had and managed to master the art of crashing causing minimum damage

I don't like snowboarding, its really restricting because you're stuck to the board and its weird but I feel kind of claustraphobic. I like skiing though because you can actually move and feel you have some control

Skiing :love: Snowboarders spend all day on their ass in the middle of the slope thinking they look cool :idc:

I've never tried either and it's something I've never really given any thought to.

It really doesn't appeal to me.

Yep, i know exactly what you mean, thats how i felt

Haven't tried either, would rather ski than snowboard though.

Never tried either. I'll take a sledge

Skiing, no contest. Snowboarders make me mad, ploughing up the piste for the proper skiers...

However... I have to say that I'm almost Olympic standard at Apres Ski. This despite a nasty injury I sustained in Switzerland when I fell off a rather high bar stool and bruised my thigh. 'Course, I couldn't feel it until the next morning.

I prefer eating sandwiches

I detest skiing and I can't imagine snowbiarding would be any better at all!

Bet I win Gold in that event :hugesmile:

Neither - love snow, love watching winter sports but not actually doing them - far nicer doing all that watching from a comfy chair in a cosy bar with a log fire roasting the tooties and a few snifters to keep away the cold air.

Havent tried either,but I think I would prefer Skiing.
