Which is better skiing or snowboarding? Who gives a shit? Do whatever you want. Not everything has to be this vs that. You can just simply enjoy something without comparing it to something else.
Tbf I’m hear because I don’t know Esther to book a ski or snowboarding trip, I used to skate but many broken bones later I wanna do something that isn’t going to stop me going to the gym but still lets me flow
The average age of snowboarders is rapidly approaching 45. Every year there are 2% fewer snowboarders, and you can easily see that it’s dying out. (Except in Japan)
I'm 44 and have been riding for 30 years. In NZ it's still super popular and gaining riders all the time. I still go to the mountains with my friends, skiers and riders.
Thank you someone that shows truth being honest here no offense but skiing is for the bougie and petty (not everyone but a lot) sport while snowboarding is also harder and has way more of a risk that why it is better
So your saying skiing is better since it's safer? Cool jk snow boarding and skiing are literally the exact same thing whatever you start off with will be easiest or hardest it's all the same
Nothing like saying, those derby goofballs with their snow pants below their ankles have swag… if you’re ripping, some really good carved turns on Skis you can put so much more power into it than you can on the snowboard… there’s nothing quite like the feeling of riding hip on the ice edges perpendicular to the hill while carving at 60 miles an hour…

I'm in NZ and almost all the guys/girls I used to hang out with are now banned from skiing here
@@LeoDevlin-q4f That's not snowboarding culture, it was just some weird group of people culture. But what do I know, I'm basically skier on board 😄. I grow up skiing, started snowboarding as teeneger, my whole family are skiiers also most of my friends. I enjoy riding on groomed slopes, don't go into park, because jumping is scary. I have too much self-preservation and scared of breaking my neck. Also back-country, which I see a lot on TH-cam, seem like so much trouble. I like speed and doing nice carved turns. I am in Europe and that's what I see most people doing, even snowboards. Everybody just ride on groomed pistes and noone goes "off road". Over here I don't really see much difference between skiers and snowboarders, but maybe it's because I hangout mostly with skiers or mixed groups. I don't actually remember ever being in exclusivelly boarder group.
It’s annoying as fuck when skiers go right in front of me, cause then I can’t stop. I crashed into a pole yesterday because a skier flew right in front of me and I didn’t have space to slow down.
As a skier I apologise on their behalf. Most of us are responsible and respect the other people on the hills, there's just a few stuck up elitists who don't give a shit about snowboarders. Hope you're doing okay now, that sounds like a nasty crash.
This is a major complaint that skiers have about snowboarders. The lack of maneuverability that snowboards have means that you need to have much higher situational awareness. It’s not fair… But it is the reality. Skiers can ski much closer to each other and direction much more easily so the likelihood of crashing is lower. If you’re on a snowboard, you need to stay further away from people to avoid hitting them.
“Better”….. Speed: skiing Control: skiing Traversing: skiing Being able to walk: skiing Pushing with poles: skiing Surfy feel in powder: snowboarding Yeah so snowboarding is better for sure because powder is life.
It becomes a problem when them boarders be sitting in spots they've got no business sitting in, I.e. below crests and such. That's dangerous and just outright stupid. Though I've been told by one of them folks that they do it because it's more convenient to get up again.
@@TheDuckVicky That depends on the run, I'd say. In the end, skiers and snowboarders should simply be decent human beings respecting each other. We're all out there for the fun of it, after all.
No. Skiing is better for many reasons Easier Learning Curve for Beginners: Many people find skiing easier to learn initially compared to snowboarding. The movements involved in skiing, such as using poles for balance and having separate skis for each foot, can feel more intuitive for some beginners. Varied Terrain Accessibility: Skiers often have an easier time navigating varied terrain, including moguls, steep slopes, and deep powder. The design of skis allows for different techniques and maneuvers across diverse conditions. Faster Speeds: Skiers can achieve faster speeds than snowboarders due to the ability to use poles for additional propulsion and stability. This can be exhilarating for those who enjoy speed sports. Freestyle Options: While snowboarding is often associated with freestyle terrain parks, skiing also offers extensive freestyle options with features like jumps, rails, and halfpipes. Some skiers appreciate the versatility of being able to enjoy both freestyle and traditional skiing. Accessibility of Equipment: Skiing equipment, including skis, boots, and bindings, tends to be more readily available for rental and purchase at most ski resorts and shops compared to snowboarding equipment. This accessibility can make it easier for individuals to get started with skiing.
Are you kidding? I’ve never seen a skier glue their skiis together to make their equipment better. However I see split boards all the time. Meaning even snowboarders deep down know skiing is better. If you want to face life sideways go for it. I’ll be here facing it straight on. Not to mention skiing has so many more disciplines. Cross country, both skate and stride, Nordic downhill etc. And skiers jump higher, go faster and do more tricks because of the limiting factor of having your feet strapped in on a snowboard. If you enjoy it more, go for it. But let’s not pretend.
Skiing for the win because have you ever heard about a thing called race/salom skiing you cant race on salom on snow board 💀 And you cant go as fast on snow board as skiis
OBJECTION✋you can’t decide it’s a opinion and this a falsely a accusing skiing, and many small kids will see this and think skiing is stupid. NOT COOL.
If I’m going to be completely honest. Skiing has been around for so much longer than snowboarding. Also snow borders are VERY VERY annoying to get In Your way
I like to think myself mature being able to admit i dont really have any meaningful arguments against snowboarding and practitioners of this joke of a sport - i just dont like it, i dont like the feel of it when riding. so yeah, skiing onelove❤ also "cool factor"?:) what am i, 12? This is dumb
I’d say there equal, everyone enjoys different things and as long as both sports grant you fun then they’re equal. Although if it’s in turns of beginning skiing is a bit better as according to my ski instructor, you always fall on your butt (she teaches skiing and learns snowboarding). I think you should have considered things like first times and coats. Also I think you need your evaluation needs to be more reliable as some people like me absolutely love watching downhill skiing.
Skiing has back country easier, more tricks, bigger community, more technical for techy runs, easier on flats, easier to carry around, but “looking cool” is subjective.
I’m not going to say your wrong but and I also won’t say that I’m right. I think it’s all personal preference. If you like skiing do skiing and if you like snowboarding more than do snowboarding. Just have fun and enjoy yourself as you enjoy your hobby.
Dude you can’t just do that 😂😂😂 totally snowboarding bias. Different rules apply on each thing, I think it would be a tie, but even factually you are not giving proper points or point deductions to each side.
Snowboarding was the best thing to happen to skiing. Forced them to change the way they looked at the mountain. Forced them to try new tricks. (I mean, I watched year after year of skiers do daffies and spread eagles…over and over and over.) most importantly, it forced them to modernize the ski…they are all basically riding with two snowboards on their feet.
Snowboarding is cool but requires you to be ok with having limited vision on your non-dominant side as you’re going downhill. having to strap in every 20 minutes is ok, but you can really shave off transition time coming off the lift if you just ski
I am not old and I ski and the culture is great. The reason we have only skiing resort because some snowboarders are jerks. The swag that skiiers have is awesome but snowboarders just took it. Without people inventing skiing snowboarding would not be a thing to day. Mic drop🎤
I have been skiing since I was three and then I learned how to skateboard, so I switched to snowboarding, it is definitely harder to learn than skiing, but so much fun and so rewarding, but I am also very bias because of my skateboarding experience, both are cool but I prefer snowboarding
What i believe is that skiing is easier for beginners because when i started skiing i got inte to it fast but snowboarding took a while for me to get in to and get good at
My dad summed it up well: Skiing is easy to learn but hard to master Snowboarding is hard to learn but easy(er) to master That's probably why schools take kids on ski trips and not snowboard trips lol
personally I like both for different reasons. snowboarding is way better in powder but i much prefer doing trees and moguls on skis. i personally don't like the snowboarder culture though because there's a lot of people who i don't vibe with or who do a little too much weed or alcohol for my taste. but skiiers don't have much of a group personality tbf
I like both equally because of the fact that you can do different tricks so if you were to compare them in the park you just can’t and I’m 13 and I ski so I’m biased anyways so it’s not just for old people
Park skiers are so much cooler then park snowboarders but normal skiers aren’t very cool unless they’re hitting cliffs or something, otherwise it just a bunch of rich people were those weird tight suits with fur hoods or whatever.
honestly, i hate this video for one reason only. Snow or not we all come out here to enjoy some bomb ass snow and kick ass at what we do. So who REALLY cares?!
completely unbiased here ~ Skiing is easier to learn basics and do a lot of simple skills but the more you do it the longer it takes to progress ~ snowboard is much harder to start off but there’s a little bump where if you manage to get over it, if because much easier. Also tricks are easier because you only have to manage one thing on your feet.
I d like to do snowboarding, but i live far from the mountains and i started with skiing. I learned it really fast, instead of snowboarding that it's much difficult to learn. So i think that for someone that do it 1 o 2 times a year and never learned skiing or snowboarding, it's Better start with ski
Personally I like downhill skiing better cuz u never have to clip in when u get if the lift and if ur a snowboarder, and there is a flat part u have to jump to the hill but w skiing u have poles so u can move and one last thing, skiing is better cause when u snowboard ur neck is facing the side in a unnatural way but w skiing your body is natural
IMO skiing is better, I’ve done both, I tried both when I first started and decided I enjoyed skiing more, I just don’t like the idea of not being able to move my legs around
Would you rather have nice comfy boots but you have to undo and redo them every time you get to the top and bottom of a slope. Or would you rather have slightly uncomfortable boots but once their on your good. (Im a skier)
Dude skiing is not just for old people have you watched x games before? And Alta would not be a good resort for snowboarders cause the terrain is too steep
The thing is people don’t like how both of your feet are tied together on a board/snowboard and then with skiing you have more freedom with your legs and so if you fall on skis the skis will come off unlike a snowboard
Love that they are both amazing things to do for your preference of fun! In life, ive learned that anything that can make your life fun and have an amazing time is a huge win regardless if people think its stupid or love it. Its about us and us only. Nothing we do as people should even have to do with others' concern of ones loves. If i wanna ski or ride park/street on my blades or if i wanna skateboard/snowboard then that would make ME happy and not anyone else. Do what makes yall happy! The judging of others and hate for wha they do is messed up. Coming from a point of view of a 39 year old kid thats been on snow for over 30 years and done a lot in my life. Hard times and good times alike, life is crazy and when you have a good outlet to express yourself its absolutely a blessing.
Certified snowbard & ski instrictor chiming in here. Snowboarding is hard to learn but easy to get good at, skiing is easy to learn but hard to get good at 😊

If you’re a true fan of either, you’d respect both. One isn’t better than the other.
Snowboarding is for people who dont know how to ski.
FACT: Skiing is way more technical.
Takes longer to master skis
Snowboarding is slower
Alta is like 90% traverses to get to good runs anyway, snowboarders wouldn’t have much of a good time there
yes
Both love sliding down mountains at speed. Both appreciate each other. everyone’s a winner in my eyes
we found a snowborder guys ....hes him
🙂🙃🙂
Here’s what I say, if your on the mountain, your good with me
Amen
Skiing in pow is WAY better than snowboarding
You forgot about carving ice and mogles
You should give a point to skiing for ski only resorts
It’s just a worse version of surfing -3 points

Yes
Let’s brake it into 4 cool, culture, experience, and last being a fucking pot head

Well you also have to consider that snowboarding isn’t originally and just steals from surfing and skiing

Personally I prefer skiing, because you go much faster and have more control
Personally, i would love to snowboard, but i can't. The lifts are way better for skies than snowboards
Skiing better cause you can go much faster don’t believe me skier’s go at lest 100 kilometres an hour the pros
Dude skiing is not just for old people have you watched x games before? And Alta would not be a good resort for snowboarders cause the terrain is too steep
The thing is people don’t like how both of your feet are tied together on a board/snowboard and then with skiing you have more freedom with your legs and so if you fall on skis the skis will come off unlike a snowboard
Love that they are both amazing things to do for your preference of fun! In life, ive learned that anything that can make your life fun and have an amazing time is a huge win regardless if people think its stupid or love it. Its about us and us only. Nothing we do as people should even have to do with others' concern of ones loves. If i wanna ski or ride park/street on my blades or if i wanna skateboard/snowboard then that would make ME happy and not anyone else. Do what makes yall happy! The judging of others and hate for wha they do is messed up. Coming from a point of view of a 39 year old kid thats been on snow for over 30 years and done a lot in my life. Hard times and good times alike, life is crazy and when you have a good outlet to express yourself its absolutely a blessing.
As a skier the ski only resorts are a joke and I couldn’t believe to find out they still exist.
