Snowboarding or Skiing: Which is Easier?

Snowboarders always say skiing is easier, and skiiers always say Snowboarding is easier, but who is right?

I am a snowboarder, and I personally think skiing is easier because of one obvious, simple fact. On skiis your feet are strapped to two boards, not one. That way if one leg slips, the other can help balance you. On a snowboard, if one leg slips then there is no avoiding it, you are going to fall.

I have tried both and can deffinetly say that snowboarding is harder. However, this depends to what level. Learning how to go down a hill? Snwoboarding. Pulling of a 720? Err. Skiing isn’t too far off in this one…

Snowboarding is definitely harder particularly to master the difficult tricks
