(oh how i love skiing in the north east)
i gotta say though, there's one thing i like about having you knuckle draggers out there. i never get tired of outrunning and out maneuvering you..
hey, at least you guys look cool.. :fawk:
seriously though, my personal opinion is that it is more difficult to become a good skiier, than it is to become a good snowboarder.

Basically put snowboarding and skiing are two different animals and each excel in different terrain and with a different style. Most the people who put down snowboarding either have never done it or have not done it enough to enjoy the black diamonds with ease. Same goes for those who slam skiing.
If you want to ride bumps and go crazy fast, grab a pair of skis if you want to ride the phat powder and tight tree lines then ride a snowboard. This is not to say one can't do the others job, just saying each of them excel in their respective terrain.

i guess you should really see what type of terrain you will be going to more often then not, try out both options and then just pick one. unless you got money and just pick up a board and skiis and just do which ever whenever.
