grungy-gonads 54 Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Which do you want to do? Feel like trying most? What looks like the most fun? Answer that and you're on ya way. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 You sound like a hippy g-g. Snowboarding. You can become reasonably proficient at snowboarding in 2 or 3 sessions, and if you take to it, you can ride powder soon. Is that really possible with skiing? Skiiers, what do you say?

danz 0 Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 the new generation shape-skiis have significantly lowered the learning curve for skiing... they have really nice soft skiis with big sid-cuts specifically designed for beginners...you could also probably be carving some nice turns in a few days as well, but wouldn't go so far as saying you could jump into a powder field and navigate it succesfully... but I say go for skiing anyways...its the future dude... danz Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Thanks for that ... equivocation, danz. Actually, I saw some interesting looking skis in Alpen they other day - really wide at the tips, and the Atomics had groovy muscular looking cylinders running down the sides. You can't really jump straight into powder on a board either (don't try it at Nozawa or Wada Toge! ) but you can probably be having your floaty fun earlier than with skis. But, whatever.

gorilla 0 Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 You'll probably find that boarding is the easier (and quicker) to pick up, thats what I found anyway. Have fun! Link to post Share on other sites
