Nah, sometimes heals from flat landings but even then not as bad as skiing. Much more comfty imo. Also easier to land tail first if needed to soften the landing. You have more control based on the way you're spread on 1 plank.
That said you will probably be sore as fuck when you learn. You use a lot of different muscles plus if you beat yourself up learning to turn. Start small and work your way up. Use areas of the trail that are almost flat to work on your turns. Once you get both turns use those spots to learn both turns switch. If you learn all 4 turns right away and go in between them all sometimes itll really help you in the long run.

If your ski boots are too big, your heel isn't being held in place very effectively. Your foot is able to slide to the front of the boot. When you land in ski boots that are too big, it's very easy for your foot to slide to the front of the ski boot. If that happens your heel is too far forward and you are in the backseat.
