Did you ski or board first?

Ski. However I learned how to do some park things on my snowboard before my skis
 
(reversing this buuut) I learned to snowboard before I started skiing. I boarded for 7 years, and only fo it about 8 times a season now.
 
Skied

Had some plastic skis I got for christmas when I was real little. Started on real skis at a mountian when I was 6. Got a plastic board around 8. Tore up the backyard mini park. Hit my little rail. Then got a real board at 10 and stopped skiing after a couple years. Just started skiing again this winter over decade later.

whereupon more difficult to do tricks? I have read that learning to ski harder tricks this so? If yes then do not see the point in skiing, since I did not set up for the long term

Also interested in skiing, but thought Is it worth? I read that difficult learning normally ride and do tricks, if I'm on the board for 4 years really is not even learned to ride, the skiing will be even worse? I just thought that ski somehow easier ... but everywhere I read that ski harder, hmm. Direct jumps I did on cross-country skiing), but on the board only recently started.

But the main criterion of choice - it is complexity of learning tricks, for example, even a simple rotation, if the ski harder see no point in them.

What.
 
I was in those stupid kiddie ski camps since I was two. Picked up a snowboard last winter and I'm hooked. So much easier to hit park on a board. I think I only picked up my skis three times last winter and all of those were to teach classes.
 
Switched to skiing junior year of HS I think.

both are rad sports, skiing park was easier to learn though.
 
Skied a few years but then i went and tried snowboarding for 2 years ultimitly decided i liked skiing better so i went back to it and then started skiing park last year.
 
I used to snowboard but switched this year and I'm so happy I did :) I liked snowboarding but it honestly didn't give me the feeling skiing does if that makes sense haha.
 
skiing is easier. Learning to board can be quite painful but by the end of the day you may get progress. While skiing is easier to learn, you'll get the hang of it by the end of the day.
 
I lived in the midwest until I was about 12, at which point I moved to Washington. In the midwest I did a bit of cross country skiing, and eventually got a snowboard for the small hills in the area. Since moving to Washington I snowboarded until about 19. Decided I wanted to try skiing again and bought some twin tip park skis. Snowboarded and skied for years after that, but now I'm mostly a skier. Once in a blue moon I'll hop on my board and rip around though.
 
my buddy was going to go from snowboarding to freeskiing, but i convinved him not to.

you dont see freeskiers going to snowboarding
 
Skied for 4 years until I was 8... Turned to the dark side at that age. It was all thanks to a movie I bought from a board store while shopping for a helmet. The movie was called Positron (still my favorite shred movie ever). I begged my parents to snowboard after seeing the tricks those guys did, and it still inspires my style a bit today. They said "not until you're 8 son" and I never looked forward to something so much. When I was 8 I started lessons at a ski hill owned by The City of Toronto called Centennial Park Ski Hill. I was always at the top of my class (thanks to skateboarding) and I was doing boardslides on boxes on my 8th day. I was sooo hyped to be snowboarding, mainly because the ski boots my dad bought me were uncomfortable and at the time I also did not know that freestyle skiing even existed, which brings me to my rebirth as a skier at age 12 after 4 years of boarding. Basically, my dad said "hey you should try skiing again", and I said " but you can't do tricks like rails and spins on skis" (I don't know how I never noticed a freeskier while riding the parks at MSLM, I must have been blind, or just too focused on riding.), and then my dad said "but you can do tricks on skis" so I said "ok I'll try it", and so my dad bought me a pair of afterbangs. After 2.5 seasons of dividing my season between skiing and boarding, I settled on skiing, simply because I found I progressed faster due to feeling more comfortable on skis.

"And that, little Timmy, is the story of how grandpa destroyed his knees."

Greater orgasm from skiing is what you mean
 
Snowboarding hadn't really exploded when I started going skiing with my family at like age 6... By the time I was 13 it was the cool thing to do so I gave it a try, and that was 21 years ago.
