I don't know about everyone else but I want to learn how to ski. (*everyone gasps*) Because look at how those graceful sons-of-bitches (I mean that in the nicest way possible) fly through the air. Skiers doing a triple cork vs snowboarders, skiers are like swans with their two-piece aerials (watch Bobby Brown in slow-motion) while snowboarders are like diamond-plated-razor-edge-steel-goodness! and to be honest, I find skiing 10x easier because I grew up with inline skating for years. So would any of you give skiing a chance just for one run? or is a army of military grade snowboarders headed to my house as we speak?
I was a skier for 20 years and after starting to board there is no comparison for me. Boarding is so much more fun. I'll still ski once in a while because I like some of the differences but I'm pretty much hooked on snowboarding.

A lot of people on this forum are ex-skiers. Some are still skiers. By definition the people on the snowboarding forum are going to be the people who like snowboarding.
I have considered it just for ease of touring but have pretty much just decided on just going with split boarding. It would take too long to get that good at skiing for the lines Id wanna ski.....
i like both. i keep meaning to get back into skiing (12yr break), but every time i go to finally pull that trigger on a new ski set, i get a new snowboard instead.
I'd love to learn how to ski, even tried last year...went 25 feet and severely pulled my left calf muscle and was out for 4 weeks....done tried...oh well.
don't get me wrong, skiing is a fucking blast, but after those hundreds of times ive been snaked by a skier who was standing 10 feet up the rail with his 8 skier friends who have also been camping on the run in and didn't care to take a half second to see if anyone is rolling in... well those guys are assholes. #rage
Did it once. It was ok, but i prefer my snowboard.
