I'm the opposite, have been on a board for over 15yrs. and not once on a pair of downhill skies..

My first experience with a snowboard resulted in a mild concussion, and an experience much like Davids.

Tried it again 5-ish years later, and was pretty much immediately able to rip down runs comfortably. No idea why. Prior to that I had been skiing for 15+ years.

I also telemarked for a season back in high school. Good fun, almost blew a knee though, thanks to the non-releasable bindings. I haven't strapped them on since.

It's all fun. Maybe someday I'll quit spending 100% of my disposable income on racing and go up again.

This will be my 12th season riding. I've been on a pair of skis once, I thought it was boring compared to snowboarding.

I been up a total of 4 days boarding had a blast after the second day I was getting speed but would eat it when I got the death wobble.

I need to get a new board...mine is a bit too fast for my liking...

Balls, I need a job...

It's not that I can't handle it...it's just super stiff and harder to control than I was used to with my old board.

I'm not an expert at all haha, but the stiffness of this board is really noticeable...at least to me.

I've never tried snowboarding, not even once. I am still learning how to ski to the level I want to be at so I will stick with that until I get bored.

[MisterMiniS]

I grew up skiing and then I raced for Copper Mountain about 10 years ago, and have been snowboarding since. I tend to swing both ways, but enjoy the challenge of boarding over skiing.

Both are good, both are fun IMO.

Telemarking will make a man out of your legs though....that is for sure.

Oh that sound... <3 <3 <3

Quit skiing a decade ago. Been boarding ever since. Living in Utah spoiled me, so I havent been as motivated in Colorado. Go 6-10 times a season. I like my super stiff fast board over my flexy terrain park friendly board. I seem to spend less time in the park as I get older. A split board for back country is on the list, but I like hiking too.

My newest is a rocker style board, medium flex. I love it. It is fantastic in the powder.
