How to Snowboard

I am thinking about learning to snowboard!?

06 Nov 2009 | 10:29 am | Category: Learning How to Snowboard      

I am twenty nine and just moved to Colorado. Last year I tried skiing..towards the end of the season I was just starting to get the hang of it (I went to copper mnt. twice).
Now this year my bf is telling me to give it up and try snowboarding. He snowboards, my son snowboards and they tell me it’s a lot easier. I had always thought it was hard!!!!
Anyway my question is…would it be better for me to just continue learning how to ski..before I take on snowboarding? Or just put in my first tough day get it over with and learn how to board. I would love to learn how to board but I’d really like to know how to ski too! Especially since I feel like I am getting close to being able to ride smoothly.
So which one should I choose this winter?

snowboarding is harder, but more rewarding & a better workout & way cooler. the president of aspen ski club said that he hasn’t been on skis since he learned to board. try it, it’s fun. the first few times u do it, u’ll spend alot of time on ur butt. wear lots of padding. the first 2 times i tried it myself, then the 3rd i got lessons. it’s my 4th season this year & i’m already doing jumps & learning new tricks. be preparred to feel like u’ve been in an accident afterwards the first season is tough, but once u get the hang of it. it’s the funnest thing u’ll ever do, i’m boarderline obsessed with it.

    I tried to learn to ski while we lived in WA. It was, at best, comical. I was no good at it.

    If you are wanting to learn, and were getting the hang of it, then keep trying!

    However, it doesn’t hurt to learn to snowboard, too. My son insisted that snowboarding was easier, too, but we don’t always do things because they are easier!

    I would keep trying to ski, but definitely give snowboarding a try, too. Maybe it will help!

    Don’t give up on the skiing, though.Are you taking lessons or just winging it?

    Good luck!

    you should def give snowboarding a try at least once and decide which one you like and stick to that for the rest of the season. Snowboarding is way fun and cooler looking but if it’s not for you then don’t waste your money and time.
