Miller Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 It is still VERY early in the season. But, we should gather a list of guys to go to Mad River or Snowtrails when the white stuff hits. It would be pretty sweet to have some CR snowboard races I'm shining mine already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble Maker Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Originally posted by RX7dood: i tried snowboarding there once, i did alright but i was hurting should i continue to try to learn to snowboard or is skiing easier?Yes, skiing is 'easier' at first. The issue is that you can be a horrible skier and get away with it. If you snowboard completely wrong, you will fall on your face, and it will hurt. If you ski completely wrong, you just look like a dumb ass. Granted, you will probably fall more, but just not as much as if you snowboard wrong. That's probably what you experienced the first time. I've talked to alot of people that get turned off to snowboarding because they fell eleventybillion times the first time they went and were sore for three or four days. It's not so much that one is easier than the other, it's just that the learning curve at first is very step and forced with snowboarding. Whereas with skiing, it's easier to go at your own pace at first. Once you get past the initial learning phase, how do I turn, how do I stop, how do I not fall, the crap you learn being cautious on the bunny hill, they are pretty much the same. Just different physical mechanics to make the plank(s) do what you want it to do. My second time I snowboarded was much easier, granted, I did pick it up by then end of my first time I boarded. It was three or four years between the two though. My second night boarding felt like a good, hard, night of skiing for me. So, once you get the hang of it, it's not nearly as bad.

verse Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Yeah Neo is kinda of right. Snowboarding is frustrating, b/c you fall alot more than if you just started skiing. Pretty much all you need to figure out is how to heel stop, swing you back foot so you are perpendicular with the mountain and lean on you heel. Then pretty much when going down the hill make sure you are not riding on the board flat. You need to be on an edge almost all the time, b/c if you ride flat on the board you can catch a pile of snow and you'll be hurting. Pretty much just learn to stop and learn not to catch edges.
