I want to try snowboard...?

Question

this weekend. I am doing ski for two years.
Would it be easy to learn? I know it is very different from ski but i also used to skate.
Or i will just destroy my weekend while i could have done ski?

Answer 1

Give it a try! Many people are able to have a really good time riding by the 2nd or 3rd day.

I would suggest getting a beginner package with equipment rental and a group lesson - then spend the afternoons practicing what you learned and you will know what to ask for help at your next lesson.

Good Luck

Answer 2

Snowboarding is harder to learn than skiing at first. Most of the people doing it are trying to 'look cool' but look like idiots because the don't really know how to do it and spend most their time either sitting on their butt or sliding out of control.

Skiing is easier to get going but it's harder to get better by yourself. I would suggest getting a lesson to help you ski better and to try some harder terrain. You can do as much if not more on skis than on snowboard. (Ask a snowboarder to go down a mogul run with you - ha ha)

You can do park and halfpipe on skis. I do.

Answer 3

Thats awesome!
Its not easy to learn, try searching abc of snowboards on google, and you'll see the site, and click on it, it will help. Skiing is boring, and to many people do it, snowboarding on the other hand is more extreme and fun. People make fun of skiiers, do you wanna be one of them skiiers, also, you can't do anything on a pair of skiis, except go down the mountain.

Answer 4
