I did it once. Never again.

I had been skiing fire about 8 years and went with my girlfriend, we started boarding together. I hated it. so much that despite I had paid for a weeks lessons on a learn to board, I hired a pair of skis after 3 days.

everyone is different, but personally I would not do it again.

Try it , i know i'll try skiing one day .

No advantages ,disadvantages are putting your foot back in the binding after you get off the lift and all you skiing friends will get bored waiting for you after a short while .

I'll stick to skiing!!!

But once I can parallel ski, I'll rotate between backcountry, powder, groomed and I'd like to try cross country!!


Good news though, I'm almost at 100% because at the moment my college mate hasn't done either sports and its 89.9% he will do skiing!!
