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 definitely easier to learn. I've skied for almost 5 years, and just recently I've been trying Snowboarding. But I've heard that once you get the hang of snowboarding It's really fun and easy.

That is definitely true, I've been a skier for 6 years and a boarder for 2. Skiing was much easier to learn. Once you get the hang of snowboarding you get pretty good pretty fast. Basically skiing is easier to learn but harder to master but snowboarding is harder to learn but easier to master.

As a snowboard instructor, I believe that snowboarding is a little more tricky to learn, but then easier to master. You have to really focus on your balance. As you get better, you start to use your lower half of your body to do all the work. It starts in the feet, goes to the knees, then finishes in your hips. Once you get the hang of it, it gets progressively easier to do manuevers such as carving,wide radius turns, close radius turns, and then maybe even the terrain park. Snowboarding is a lot of fun and is definetely worth learning. skiing is easier to learn, but then it gets really boring. theres only so much you csn do with it. Snowboarding is much more entertaining.

snowboarding and skiing are two different sports. in my opinion skiing is easier because you are strapped to the board better than you are on skis when you snowboard.
