I am in a dileama about what sport to do: Freesytle Ski or Freestyle Snowboard. I have skied all my life and am conforatable doing jumps, but not rails or anything else. Ive been snowboarding for the past week and have learned to carve and grind only 50/50, so far. What should i do? For the skiing option i still need to buy twin tip skis. Please give me your honest opinion and dont answer skiing because this is a skiing site. Thanks

Skiing is better because you can traverse, skin in the backcountry, do moguls, and best of all, do spread eagles and daffies.

Also skating on skis is easier than pushing on a snowboard
