I think you should at least try it. I think everyone in both sports should at least try the other sport at least once. I'm glad I finally traded gear with my friend for a night ski sesh. I'm sticking to skiing but it gave me a better appreciation for snowboarding.

YES.

















Asking this on a skiing site is really not fair. But try it and if you like it more than yes. Ask Vandersteeze he switched.

All of my snowboarder friends that have tried skiing have either switched already or are going to next season. It's not like their bad either, my one friend can cork 5 which considered a pretty hard trick at my hill, and is switching next season just because he thinks it's more fun

I switched after almost 10 years of snowboarding, it's just something new to try.

I personally like skiing more, but that's just cuz it's something new to try. A lot of my boarder buddies try skiing every now and then and some of them have switched while some just do it on occasion.

I say give it a shot, but like everyone else is saying, do which ever one you have more fun at, or both if you've got the money/ hookups.

i have boarded all my life and just switched to skiing this last season. I wanted to try something new and i like it more because its less of a pain in the ass. Having poles makes tt so much easier to traverse and to get to good snow.
