As someone that spent all his life snowboarding and just switched to skiing for a new challenge this season, here are my 5 reasons: 1. The intense foot pain of wearing ski boots only makes a person stronger 2. The feeling of elitism you get as you ride by those peasant snowboarders sitting on the snow strapping in at the top of the lift 3. Powder is no longer as fun, meaning you don't yearn for it nearly as much 4. It's fun to poke little holes in the snow with the poles 5. When you're out of control you can knock out a whole family more easily; stopping is less intuitive and you've got 4 tools of destruction instead of 1 But not going to lie, I've been really enjoying learning a new sport! Early season is boring anyway with none of the gnarly runs open
I enjoy skiing more because it lets me pull the bar down soon as I sit and hit everyone’s head. It’s so fun, especially when you don’t give them a notice.
To be fair, in Austria once I saw an old skier guy, like 70 years old, getting off the chair in a lycra onesie competition outfit with a number jersey, a huge belly, a cigar in his mouth, and the biggest jar full of beer I've ever seen lol. Fkg legend.
@@The-Man-On-The-Mountain those are the people that would have a coronary tieing their shoe if they could even reach it....but as soon as they turn down the fall line they turn into ballerinas.
As a skier, that tried snowboarding sometimes, I can tell the big difference is speed. Skiers, face down the mountain naturally, snowboarders do it sideways, almost killing the speed by need. With speed, you pay a big price if things get out of control on skis, making snowboarding a little bit safer I think. Good luck with those skis, remember to learn the braking part first, then, you work your way up. Cheers.
@@Safewoood Snowboard sounds stylish, but doesn't mean it's easier to be stylish on it. Anyway this discussion is boring and pointless, both are cool. This is why this videos and coms piss me off :D
I grew up in the 80's and 90's skiing an awful lot. Just as a matter of observation, snowboarding was associated with all the less desirable behavior traits at resorts, and directly associated with other behavioral traits off the slopes. The same type of person most likely to find boarding appealing and skiing less appealing was the same kind of person who, off the slopes, would associate with pierced, tatted, tokin', baggy pants wearing, gangy cliquey, rap and hip-hop consuming, dysfunctional groups of youth and young adults. That wasn't the rule across the board, but it was easily recognizable. Oh slope behavior was common from snowboarders: solicitation at the bottom and at the top; camps of boarders butt-down across the slope below rollers or hills not visible from above; nasty ice patches from the wide scraping device under their feet where they could have otherwise simply made a turn or controlled speed before reaching those places; just a lot of sitting around and blocking runs and otherwise being a bother to people who wanted to use a feature or get through a place. I never saw the same patterns with skiers. I will say however, the snowboarding explosion that happened during that era really jump started the skiing sport out of stagnation; shaped skis, twin tips, freestyle, and all the rest.
Number one reason I switched. Catwalks and traverses are horrible on a snowboard. Also moguls are a hundred times more fun on skis. And I’m much faster on skis. There’s lots of reasons actually.
I’ve been skiing for the last 5 seasons and am going back to snowboarding this year for at least three of those reasons…😂 but mainly cos the ski boots kill me and boarding is way cooler…. I’m nearly 60 so reason 5 is not so much an issue these days….😅
My 5 reasons to switch to snowboarding 1: be on my butt more than my legs, really works the glutes 2: extra vandalism abilities, can help send a message 3: have concern for myself and only myself 4: spend 40 minutes at top of lift to really take in the scenery 5: haveto hike long straights, this can develop the leg muscles even more than sitting down all day Bonus: complain about being banned from ski only resorts, helps the jaw muscle and vocal cords
Reasons You Suck At Snowboarding: 1. You are on your butt too much, dont fall 2. Dont Vandalize because you arent strokin poles 3. Learn to stop 4. Get Bindings that are easy to strap in 5. Hold your edge and ride the straight. Bonus: Be Whack.
@Jimmy Micheal additional reasons: Talk about how advanced it is at the beginning and how it's fun bc it's a challenge (little do they know its really easy after the first season) Sit down right under rollers to create more obstacles so the sport is more challenging and fun (bonus points for camping for lunch) Say people who ski don't look cool. Therefore, it is inferior and stupid. Don't wear a helmet because what doesn't kill you makes you stronger including getting severe concussions Ruin moguls for everyone else because you got there first, and it's a free country
I switched from skiing to snowboarding last season at the tender age of 62. I'm tired of doing the right thing. I'm in the early days of my second childhood and this time I'm going to grow up to be a badass snowboarder. You know... lippy.
The last reason... As a snowboarding instructor for more than 20 years, I can confirm that is true. Now I am old, but in my 20s, oh boi... 😏 Man, if you were a rider, those tourist skier ladies went crazy. There is more truth in those old crazy movies than people think lol.
I am trying out skiing for the first time since 11 soon, been riding board for 19 years but I’m glad I found this video to remind me of the risks I’m taking switching but I really would like to be able to do both as I have friends who do both
Let the old folks ride skies and reminisce in their rocking chair! Just don’t be a “pizza” shit on the mountain when turning 😂 look out for others and be safe. Always 😎
When I saw the title of the video I was fully prepared to write an essay stating all the reasons why you should not switch to skiing. But now I have nothing left to say
This is why i do skiboarding! No poles, I use snowboard boot - super comfy, shorter skisboards easy to strap behind my backpack. I love the freedom of having the maneuverability of moving around without constantly binded to just a single board. I can do tricks, spin backwards, and with the shorter boards, pose less chance of injury when falling. Ski vs Snowboard - I choose the best of both worlds!
After 25 years of snowboarding I finally said I’m done. I loved snowboarding and I’ll probably go back to it every now and again but after hundreds of times of crouching down, squeezing my guts to strap in and out of my board I finally had enough. Skis you click in once and you’re done
Of all the reasons given (and noting the sardonic wit on display here), there is only one drawback skiing has over snowboarding.... the boots. Especially if they're rentals. Nothing can compare to the DVT you get after a long day in those hellacious things. Snowboard boots are luxurious by comparison. I have recently picked up snowboarding, and found my skiing really helped with a quick progression, as well as my years on a skateboard, and I plan to do both (ski/snowboard) for the years to come. Alternate days on each and get the best of both worlds, I say! As has been pointed out ad nauseam... skiing straight off the chairlift (in fact travelling on the chairlift full stop) as well as using poles to move through flat/slow sections draws things back level between the two disciplines IMO. Casual observation here, but why do snowboarders like to sit directly in the middle of a run just beneath a rollover? I see it so often that it just can't be coincidence. I was always taught when learning to ski to approach a rollover on an angle for this very reason, and to this day if I'm moving at speed it still gets me very nervous when approaching any kind of rollover. Everyone, snowboarders and skiers, should just move well out of the way period. As far as elegance goes, each to their own I suppose, but I find the carving by accomplished skiers, especially at speed, a thing of beauty to behold.
Skiing exposes knees to severe injury. One third of the people I know who ski have injured their knees. No one I know riding has injured their knees. For all riding injuries a rider can wear armor to protect. Skiing scares me, riding does not.
Okay the reasons why skiing is actually better, 1 you can go faster 2 it is easier to get off the lift 3 easier to learn 4 better for hiking 5 better for stabbing idiots I mean snowboarders
Low level sking is easiest sport I've ever tried. Snowboarding actually requires athletic ability out the gate. Also the hardest part of skiing is telling your friends you're gay. (As in uncool)
This snowboarders vs skiers narrative is so childish. Who cares? One is not better than the other. I ride with skiers and boarders and it's all fine. We don't focus on the childish oooohh you snowboard....oooh you ski. Make a funny video now. PS. I snowboard.
Isn't it great how boarders push all the good snow to the side of the trails so those arrogant skiers can't get at it? Really helps satisfy the old Inferiority Complex.
Je ne suis pas obligé de poser mes fesses dans la neige à chaque fois que je m'arrête sur une piste. D'ailleurs je m'arrête très peu. Mon derrière n'aime pas le froid.
It has always been snow skiing for me. 30+ seasons now. I have never even wanted to try snow boarding. I have seen too many wrist injuries, dislocated shoulders, back injuries, and head injuries from folks learning how to snow board.
Bro u cant say getting back up right away that thats bad and anyways when u fall with skies you have a chance of ur skis or ur poles to hit u when u fall
22 years of snowboarding and this 52 year old body picked up some seasonal rental skis to add to my winter fun and maybe make the switch. Ill never quit snowboarding but as I age, I am finding skiing less jarring and more liesurely too. Likely a better workout, but well see. Im keeping my splitboard, carving pow is more satifying on a board.
As a snowboarder who is still practicing on the bunny hills, I draw no interest in skiing after what happened to me as a child, when I took skiing lessons as a child the skiing instructors sucked, they were very rude, bossy, and impatient with me, since then I don't ever want to try skiing again. I've only been snowboarding three times, I started snowboarding last year when I was 24, the first time I went snowboarding, it was very difficult and frustrating however I refused to give up and wanted to keep going, the second time I went snowboarding, it was still hard however I was starting to make some progress and it also started becoming so much fun, the third time with snowboarding, it was just another day of practice with a lot of fun. Also, when I watch snowboarding on TV or on the web, I find it more exciting to watch than skiing.
I am a novice skier, so it's important that I have somebody to feel superior to - as I am the most crap skier on the mountain, snowboarders serve the vital purpose of giving me somebody to sneer at.

Hahaha this comment 😂 especially 2 and 5 really got me..
Never have I wanted to snowboard more than right now. 😂
Lol
Two weeks and the lifts open here. I'm gonna spray every skier 😂
Lol)) I have been snowboarding from 1997 most of my time but now a skier. Form 1990 was a skier also. Seems time to move to my old school snowboard =)
I agree this is the dumbest video I have ever seen
You totally missed the point, man. Smh. You paid absolutely no attention to all those fine reasons he gave, did you?
*He almost had us in the first half, not gonna lie*
😂😂
As a longtime skier recently converted to snowboarding this vid was much appreciated. 😂 Well done! 👏👏
love to hear that 🔥 your feet have been freed
Welcome to the degeneracy lol
i like both lol
After 25 difucult years of not skiing, you've convinced me. I'm switching back to skis.
The only logical conclusion 😂
"you could smoke a cigarette" lmaoooo
To be fair, in Austria once I saw an old skier guy, like 70 years old, getting off the chair in a lycra onesie competition outfit with a number jersey, a huge belly, a cigar in his mouth, and the biggest jar full of beer I've ever seen lol. Fkg legend.

this video is a joke lmao hes not actually switching
@@colincharbonneau3634 No he's switching.
Yes, but the speed kills all the style and the beautiful mouvement, and you don't have time to play with small kicks.
To me ski is really boring
@@gloriacm-onvasebalader9826 it's harder to be stylish on skis but those who can pull it off are on another level in my opinion

This is why this videos and coms piss me off :D

What a great way to come back to this season!
Let the old folks ride skies and reminisce in their rocking chair! Just don’t be a “pizza” shit on the mountain when turning 😂 look out for others and be safe. Always 😎
I thought this was serious until he mentioned the boots
Another reason to ski instead of snowboard, you can PIZZA, you can't Piazza on a snowboard! lol
Pizza is a terrible technique tho. Like, might as well learn to parallel ski off the bat tbh.
as a freeskier, number 5 is 100% true
Hey here's an idea, personal preference.
This is such a great video
This guy's making a pretty convincing argument, I might have to sell all my boards
