I hope he's qualified.

if you have never skied before, snowboarding might be a better option.....it's much easier, you learn it quite fast!

abierman said:

NO way!
Skiing I picked up in about an hour.
Snowboarding took forever.

I think it's easier to learn to ski. To learn to do either really well is about the same.

Idiots, y'all don't know what you're talking about! Carrie, I don't believe a word of what you are saying, nobody picks up skiing in an hour! Snowboarding, if you have a sense of balance, you should be able to learn in about three days.....you're muscles will ache, but you'll be able to descent every slope. With skiing, a lot more technical stuff comes to show, even just because of the fact that there are 2 ski's instead of just one board. I've been skiing an average of 4 week a year, 30 years now..... so I am not going to be modest about this.....I know what the hell I'm talking about! Isten, watch out...it will take a while before you can practise control on the slopes.

Like I said, I have been boarding as well....when I was still in my teens! It was fun, but at some age the challenge was just gone! Gladly I found it again when I returned on ski's!
Phil, are you one of those boarders who doesn't know how to ski???

Take some lessons by snoworld in Landgraaf 1st .After that we can take a shower 2gether by the gym were i am .

Maybe whichever you learn first seems easier, then? I learned to ski as a child. When I was about 10 or so. I only ever took one lesson. And away I went.
Snowboarding I learned when I was 18. I didn't feel like I really knew what I was doing till about the 3rd or 4th time I went. And I still can't carve very well. I would switch-stance all the way down the hill. I am ambidextrous that way, though.

I bet the kid in the photo is at least 20 years younger than you, therefore that pic is cool.....but you don't look that cool on the slopes, you just think you do!
