SKIIIINNGG or SNOWBOARDING?
i am fifteen years old and i skied from when i was 3 years old, till i was 7 years old. i switched to snowboarding until i was 8 and turned back to skiing last year. skiing is definately harder because snowboarding form is easy. skiing is also way more versatile, because you can do anything snowboarders can do and much more. i would stick with skiing....
What is easier to learn - skiing or snowboarding?
I can do both and I think initially snowboarding is more difficult, but once you get the hang of riding it's much easier than skiing (at least for me). If you skateboard or wakeboard or surf then snowboarding will probably be easier for you. If you know how to waterski then try skiing.

Having 2 poles and 2 skis that can go flying all over the place when you fall is too much trouble for me =) If you are interes...

Which is better, skiing or snowboarding???
I prefer skiing over snowboarding but they are both really fun. I am very lucky to ski over 100 days a year and snowboard over 50 a year. Skiing is less painful to learn but snowboarding has a much better learning curve after the first five days. It is really up to you what sport you want to do. If you have a skateboarding or wake boarding background, snowboarding will come easier. They are both really fun!!! Take lessons and wear a helmet. Snow is hard and hurts really bad....
what would you do skiing or snowboarding?
I've been skiing forever, so I'd say that, but...i just got turned on to wake boarding so I can see snowboarding in my future. Skiing is more versatile. easily maneuverable with independent leg action. snowboarding is less stuff to keep up with and "no rules" seem to apply. used to many resorts were skiing only, but I think that is pretty much a thing of the past. skiing is easier to learn and harder to progress. snowboarding is harder to learn, but easier to progress. either way spend the cash ...
