Skiing or snowboarding?

So, who here is skiing and who is snowboarding?
Why this and why not the other?

Discuss.

Tried skiing once, problem is that I already get high-anxiety eating a deep bowl of soup.

If I ever have a choice, definately snowboarding.

1. No stupid little pole things
2. Looks cooler
3. 1080 Snowboarding on the Nintendo 64. Best sports game ever. Apart from World Cup '98.

I ski, I tried snowboarding once, but found it hard to get the hang on (you don't look so cool falling on your face)

are you counting Mario-Kart as a sport's game?

I snowboard myself, even if I don't like the fact that high speed controlling is a BIG pain in the

My board is a Burton Love 58.

I don't have enough balance to snowboard. I fail miserably. But, I agree it looks cooler.

That's only in competitions.

*slaps the silly aussie*

Though all the snowboarders sitting on their behinds all over the place do make excellent poles....

I've done both, but I much prefer skiing. Why? Speed. Also, being Norwegian, I'm supposed to be born with them on my feet, so....
