Once you are used to it, its a blast. But you will be sore in places you didnt know existed. Nothing beats a Friday on the mountain. TEAM COLORADO Home of the Summer Time 20 Degree Camp Out

You gotta be pretty aware of what you are doing right now because of the lack of snow or you could really hurt yourself. Tips, advice: If you have never done either its much easier to ski first. Snowboarding/skiing is tough but if you have a good teacher you will pick it up. Double up your socks, wear knee high socks. Nothing in the world more uncomfortable then ski boots. Boarding boots are much more comfortable. No matter how bad it goes the first day you gotta come back for the second or you probably never will. If you are going boarding wear a helmet. For real. Especially if this is your first time going. Rock Chalk Jayhawks, GO KU! (holidaysmore. . .2001)

It takes a lil getting used to the fact that your feet are strapped down and at a bit of an angle. When you're losing your balance you wanna naturally move your feet to regain and can't so it takes a few falls to get the hang of it. If you a fairly fit person you'll pick it up. When you fall you gotta put the snowboard in front of you and like reverse squat to get up. Skiing is fun too, but you lose control kinda easy, when I was 11, I did the bunnyhill for 2 passes thought I was ready, rode up the mountain dolo, and came flying down, ended up going out of bounds thru some trees down a small embankment and into a creek. I had to get rescued, all soaking wet, very embarassing. My dad clowned me the entire car ride home. She saw me cooking eggs, and thought I was back at it.

Doing a toe turn afterwards will probably be the next hardest thing to learn. After that it gets really easy. But you will hurt a lot after the first day. You could really hurt your tailbone if you fall the wrong way! I had pain for about 4 months one time anytime I made quick sharp movements when I was playing ball after one bad spill. Other than that enjoy. But I would be careful now because like others said, there is very letter base snow on trails on the East Coasts due to warm weather and zero to none snowfall. If you're renting then w/e, but if you have your own board then you could really damage it. Sucks that I won't be able to go this season due to a serious ankle sprain that I suffered 2 days ago. Hopefully I can rehab it so I could go by the end of February, but who knows. TeamYankees TEAM PS3 NEW YORK JETS

Hardly any trials open, terrible conditions, grass and rocks all over the place and icy. If you want to get the full experience of either snowboarding or skiing I suggest if you can do it while there is real snow present. When you fall on real snow, it's like falling on pillows, when you fall on fake snow its ice, it will hurt. I also suggest if you can you go to Camelback instead of Shawnee. Out of all the PA mountains camelback has the best conditions @NUMBERR97 TUMBLR

You're butt, back and wrists are gonna be mad sore in the morning from falling and getting back up. The slope knowledge is that skiing's easier to learn, but harder to master. It's a much more natural stance for balance. The only bad thing, is if you're the only skier in your group, you'll be waiting for your friends a lot cause they'll be flopping aruond like fish outta water trying to get back up. Good luck Snowboarding > Skiing Just playing . I've only tried snowboarding so I wouldn't know which is better. I want to try skiing though. Have fun! Smile \| PSN: JMW650

The foot that you put out to stop yourself should be your back foot. If you're skiing, never cross the tips of your skis. What a terrible season it's been so far. I got 22 days of skiing in last winter. So far I have 2
