Dont go out trying to learn snowboarding, to progress your skiing. But if you already snowboard, you can take a lot of inspiration from there, to be creative on your skis :)

i do both.. ill usually switch to snowboarding after i eat shit hard a few times on my skiis trying a new trick.. its pretty nice because after you fall bad a couple times you dont really feel like skking anymore.  However, snowboarding does not make you a better skier.

I did vice versa. I boarded and thought it would be beneficial to ski if I live out west

for me it does help, i snowboarded before i skied... i dont know what it is but the edge control and if i learn a new trick on a board it helps me with skiing...
