Last winter I learned to snowboard. I skiied 10+ years prior to that. Let me tell ya, the only thing skiing helps you with is not being afraid to go down the mountain. I fell a lot, but I can get down greens now.
IMHO, skis are more maneuverable than snowboards. I found it a lot more difficult to do the narrow windy trails on the snowboard than on skis.
