A lot of beginners ask the question: Is skiing or snowboarding easier? Skiing and snowboarding have a lot more in common than you might think. Not only are both done on snow, the time it takes to be able to go down easy slopes safely is about the same (3-6 days). Both sports are easy to learn for everyone. Technically, a turn consits of three phases in\u00a0skiing and snowboarding alike:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Initiation: The turn is initiated\u00a0with a vertical movement (up\/down), which will flatten\u00a0the boards and gravity will allow them to turn into the fall line.<\/li>\n
  2. Edge Change: The change from frontside to backside or vice versa is similar to \u00a0changing to the edge of the future\u00a0downhill (outside) ski<\/li>\n
  3. Steering: Once you changed your edges you can steer the turn in control out of the fall line by putting pressure on your skis or snowboard.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Is snowboarding cooler?<\/h3>\n

    In this regard, you definitely\u00a0have an advantage with a snowboard. Since both legs are strapped to the board, you will never need to snow plough. In a sense, you look casual from the beginning. However, it is colder since as a snowboard beginner you will fall more often. Once you have learned the basics, you can move onto steeper hills and learn to slide using your edges. You have to be more confident on a board since you cannot brake during the turn with a snow plough. Starting out you will envy skiers for their poles when it is flat.<\/p>\n

    Which\u00a0is more fun?<\/h3>\n

    You will not get a clear answer from us for this question. Depending on the day, either\u00a0can be more fun. We think both sports are great and want you to have as much of a “Gaudi” as we do. Try to learn both and decide for yourself.<\/p>\n

    If I can ski already?<\/h3>\n

    Regardless of what winter sport you have learned, the feeling of sliding on snow will help you learn to snowboard. Depending on age, athleticism and motivation, a good skier can learn to snowboard fast. Children can learn snowboarding effectively when they can ski parallel. If you plan to put your kids on a snowboard earlier than this, you might need to take care of them a bit more. That you can achieve\u00a0that at a young age shows 6 year old Nico<\/a>, in the video we posted.<\/p>\n
