After four years my girlfriend finally agreed to try snowsports this year, but she wants to try snowboarding because it looks "easier" . Any tips to talk her out of it and pick up sticks.
 
on a real note, skiing is def easier to learn. TV and the media make snowboarding out to be the cliché cool thing to do though.
 
Ok so here's what you do: bang her, get her pregnant, force her to get an abortion effectively stripping her of all decision making in the relationship, make her ski instead, live happily ever after
 
let her try snowboarding for a day and have her eat mad shit then that will convince her to ski.

Honestly though don't let her learn anything cause she will hold you back.
 
No.

Get her to ski. It's much easier than snowboarding, much less of a hassle, and she'll progress much faster.

Tell her she won't fall nearly as much when learning, and it will be easier to explore the whole mountain (steeper runs, tight trees) much sooner. The key is to stay out of the park for a while as she learns. the park is no place for a beginner, and the beauty of skiing is the versatility to explore new parts of the mountain.
 
Thanks for helpful tips , I tryed both and when I went to skiing it was alot easier to progress just harder to get used too that's why I rather convince her t to just ski first
 
That's the point. You want her to absolutely hate it and never want to come riding with you again.

The only girls worth riding with are the ones who do it because they enjoy it, not because you do. And don't tell yourself she will learn to enjoy it with you, you will both hate it.
 
This makes alot of sense , she's just doing photography at her school and I figured I might be able to get some edits and help her out. I guess I'll just have to wait for the season to start and find out
 
Just say, "Yeah you're right, skiing is wayyy to hard for you, you probably couldn't do it".. then she'll get all pissed and say "OH YEAH?! Just watch me"

boom... she tries skiing
 
couldn't agree more. You can keep the worlds separated. It might sound like a good idea, but when it is her 2nd time boarding, and she is still slow as fuck and still can't get off the lift properly, you're going to regret it.
 
If she wants to snowboard, why try to make her ski? Just let her board if that's what she wants to do. At least she wants to get out on the slopes with you. Don't listen to all the retarded high school kids who have never been in a relationship.

exactly this. tell her you're pumped she wants to try it and let her give it a rip. who knows, maybe she'll love it and be better than you thought, or maybe she'll decide to try skiing instead. either way, it's a cool new thing to do with your lady. win, win.
 
uhh...tell her snowboarding isn't easier to learn? I'm a little worried that you couldn't figure that out on your own.

That said, I don't see why you care whether she skis or snowboards. Why not just let her do whichever one she thinks will be more fun?
 
Can't believe it took this long to be said. You love skiing,and like your GF, but together... Its a recipe for disaster
 
I am sorry, I shoulda clarified. My lady friend shreds, and I love it.

However, I am most certainly not the one who taught her how haha. I have tried teaching past lady friends and would have preferred having my toe nails taken out
 
It's just not fun to have whoever you're dating get all pissy that things aren't easy as fuck and you're better than her and then have her chew you out for not being a good teacher and all that. Get someone who knows what the fuck they're doing and will take the verbal abuse so you don't have too.
 
It would seem that the obvious problem here is your girlfriend is a massive bitch, not that she is having difficulty learning a new sport.
 
let her do what she wants, and love her for who she is.

snowboarding IS easy to pick up. There's a reason this joke exists:

What's the difference between a beginner snowboarder and a snowboard instructor?

About three days.

 
That's a pretty shitty joke. Maybe the instructors suck at your mountain. Skiing is easier to learn, snowboarding is easier to get legitimately good at.

Without a lesson skiers can be hitting green trails first day. Without a lesson snowboarder are at best falling leaf and many times torpedo to exploding yard sale and repeat.
 
it has nothing to do with 'my mountain' (which I don't even really have right now), it's a joke that is known across the board.

I don't really want to get into an internet argument over this so forget I ever said anything, I have a feeling you guys have blinders on.
 
tell her that she is more likely to break both of her wrists snowboarding and that handjobs would be damn near impossible and dangerous with casts on
 
Hey grumble puss, what do a snowboard and a vacuum cleaner have in common? Answer, they both have a dirtbag attached to them.

:)
 
I agree with you man. I've skied all my life and I hopped on a board a couple years ago. First day it hurt, but after about 2 or 3 days I could go down just about any run on the mountain, hit rails, do 1s, 3s, etc.
 
I have a idea. Have her pick up snowmobiling and have her drop you off at spots in the back country then she can take photos/film of you dropping your line.
 
girls who snowboard are so much hotter, tight pants, little tall coat, so it looks popsicle style, and hair in the wind.. she's on the right track don't do anything
