I ski... I never tried snowboarding because I never really took the interest- I skied once and figured "Why take more time to learn something else?"

I push myself to the limit.

holly, how tall are u? make sure u rent a board that goes up to about between ur nose and chin. second, make sure that the boots u get are snug but not tight. third, when u buckle ur bindings in (assuming u get ratchet bindings) make sure its snug but not tight. if it is too tight, it will cut off circulation and ur feet will go numb. if it is too loose, u will crash and thast not good. snwoboarding is harder to learn than skiing especially if u have gone skiing before but its better than skiing. if u have any other questions, talk with me on aim, (snowboarddude360). hope u have fun!

The title is all out of place, so I need a longer title for it to look good. Ok...

Snowboarding is extremely fun and the learning curve is much easier then skiing. You rapidly improve instead of just on a steady basis improve like ski's. My first day snowboarding I went from wably on the bunny hill to Black Diamonds at the end of the day. This was in Aspen Colorado which has some fairly tough Diamonds also. By the end of the week I was landing some grinds and airing ramps. Although I skateboard a ton and also wakeboard so I may of picked it up a lot easier then most : P

yeh i was gonna say, snowboarding is hard to get used to because u have to balance ur body and when u stop, its just hard to get used to.

Geez, I'm short, about 5'1. Does height have anything to do with learning ability besides the size of the board?

being short doesnt make that much difference, besides having a lower center of gravity.

Never had the urge to hurtle myself down a hill of ice and snow on a piece of fiberglass or whatever it is.
