I'm a skier but i think snowboarding is so smooth and really sick. What do you guys think? Sorry if this is a repost.

I snowboarded for 12 years before I started skiing again, so I'd say I'm a pretty big fan.

im a snowboarder, but all my friends are skiers. i think that the different styles of riding can make a really cool style. just from the fact that each side has some different ideas and obvious styles.

I've been snowboarding for 8 years, I ski too, but not as much as snowboarding. I love them both though.

Not a Shaun White fan, but this regardless is so smooth.

Rails and jibbing was pretty much pioneered on snowboards. So yeah, it's tight.

I tried it a few times this year. it was really fun, but it made me glad to be primarily a skier.
My favorite rider is probably Danny Kass.
