    I've got quite a lot of experience at both. Skiings easier to start, but harder to get good. Snowboardings more fun for drifting over the snow, but skiing is more fun for intense mougle runs.

    To be able to make it down a mountain at first skeeing is easier. Because snowboarding is more difficult the first days to be able to stand takes a lot of practise. Whereas with skies your able to remain standing after a few minutes.

    But to become a good snowboarder mastering all skills to an advanced level is easier then mastering the same level with skeeing.

    That said offcourse for individual cases it may be different. I started skeeing after i mastered snowboarding and because i was allready not afraid to go downhill it was really easy to apply the technique. I think in both skeeing and snowboarding the bigest hurdle is getting over ones fear.

    These days i snowboard because i like it better. Wish it was winter again.

    They're both easier than skate boarding or surfing.

    I'm a pretty good skier and I picked up snowboarding in two days ie could do linked turns down a hill but I started skiing when I was 5 so I can't really compare.

      i was thinking snowboarding was easiest, since it is like riding a skate board with no wheels and you have to use your feet to steer i thinkwith skiing you have to use your legs, but thats what i suspect.
