They both have their advantages.
Skiing is harder to learn for the first few days but easier to master. The first lessons will punish your knees but once you can stay up it gets better. On really icy conditions, the two edges and the two foot balance will make skiing more fun. In my opinion, skiing is best on the groomed runs or in moguls - and that can get old. Backcountry skiing is a better way to ski - Tele (free heel) or Rondonee (lock down heel) are fun.
Snowboarding is easier to learn for the first few days but harder to master. You can injure your wrists or tailbone but no problems with the knees. If you learn to fall first you shouldn't have any problems - I didn't. I prefer snowboarding as you can have more fun than skiing in the powder, in the crud - basically everywhere except hard groomed runs and icy conditions.
Snowboarding in the powder is unreal - floating over and through the snow. Skiing these conditions are difficult as your skis sink and the tips try to pull you forward. Snowboarding is more constant in different conditions where as skiing requires different techniques in powder, spring conditions, etc. And as for doing tricks, snowboarding is a lot better.
Just the opinion of someone who does both.

snowboarding is by far the better sport. snowboarding took me a long time to get really good at. it took lots of practice for me to be able to go down the whole mountain without falling. but when i tried skiing, i got it literally the first try.
the harder something is to master, the more fun it's going to be.
terrain parks at all resorts are basically built for snowboarders (even though skiers choose to ski in them). there was no such thing as a terrain park before snowboarding emerged.
snowboarding ushered in a whole new era of winter sports and it's fun watching history unfold.
snowboarding is much better.
