ski only. boarders are for people who wanna look good and take the easy way out cuz its so much easier. seriously, the first few days on a snowboard are hard as anything i hear .. but after you get past that hump ..its easy to get good. skiing is the opposite .. anyone can wedge .. and ski at a rudimentary level. try getting good and it'll take a while. Like skeemr over here i've been skiing for 15+ years. Just call me the uh ..mini - johnny. Snowbird, UT all the way!
