If you want to progress fast - yes. And once you're beyond absolute beginner then spend some cash on private lessons for best effect.

Most people find snowboarding quicker to learn but it does depend. Certainly if you've done lots of either surfing and/or skateboarding you will probably take to boarding quickly, but if you're more comfortable facing the direction you're travelling you might find skiing easier...

Why not try both for a day or two each?
