No, because their both free??!!!
Skiing is def. easier than snowboarding!
Statistics from Sweden show that the snowboarders are about 10% of the people in the slopes and is slowly decresing. In the alps where most skiing in the world is done are the snowboarders much fewer than that typically around 2-3%.
Extreme skiing is different from regular skiing in the particular length and steepness of the chosen mountains, with grades of at least one-hundred percent. More than anything, it follows the philosophy of pushing one's abilities in extreme conditions.
Skiing is more popular than both, however, even by just going to a ski resort and watching the traffic you can see that snowboarding is becoming much more popular than it has been in past years. It is coming pretty close to 50-50 now but you still see a few more skiers than you do boarders.
If you meant to say hard, then i would say yes and no. Snowboarding is hard in the fact that it is much more difficult than skiing to learn. But no because once you learn the basics, you progress very fast.
Snowboarding is harder to learn than skiing. If you want to snowboard take classes.
Ok... here it is... SNOWBOARDING KNUCKLEDRAGGERS ARE NO MATCH FOR AWESOME SKIERS!!! skiing is harder, but way more worth it. besides, how many snowboarders have you seen that don't wear gangsta clothes? not very many! AND.... with skis you can go faster, pull of all sorts of awesome tricks, and can go down a run without making a loud obnoxious grinding sound. THERE YOU HAVE IT!!! skiing is way cool, and snowboarding is cool, too! I prefer skiing, but i don't really care if there is another boarder on the run.... but deer valley and alta are nice.....
It is so popular because a lot of people snowboard. Also there are a lot of people in the Olympic games that are snowboarders. People also like snowboarding because they make you feel "cool."
If you mean, "Why are there more skiers than snowboarders in the world?" Then the answer to your question is that snowboarding was invented much more recently than skiing and many mountains have only recently allowed people to snowboard on them. Some still do not.
I Think skiing is way better because You have less chance of being hurt and at the same time you go faster than a snowboard... Yes you can do a little more tricks on a snowboard and yes the skiis are more expensive to buy but you have way more fun on skiis
Skiing is easier to learn at first as you are traveling in your normal direction and your feet are not connected so you can adjust your balance better. Once you learn then you can advance faster on a snowboard than on skis.
Skiing is still more popular than snowboarding because of the simple reason skiing is easier to learn at first. Snowboarders are gaining and there are some days where snowboarders out number skiers on the slopes.
