How many snowboarders did you convert to freeskiers?

IM a boarder and im thinking about making the switch.

thinking about it a lot actually.

obviously ns and the boyfriend have help me come to this decision.
 
I did. I snowboarded for 4 years and then I switched and have been skiing for 3 years and loving it!
 
none, because i respect what snowboarders are doing and think snowboarding is progressing way harder than skiing
 
yep...i like watching my friends snowboard because theyre really good at it and i personally would rather watch snowboarding, at least on rails.

 
Converter count: 0 Converted in the future : still 0 most snowboarders are too stubborn to give skiing ( the obvisouly better snow sport ) a try oh well more shredding for us =)
 
1 hes getting better he spun 3s within like a month or two and slid rails within a week or 2
 
just last season i decided to buy some skis, i skiied when i was young but started snowboarding when i was 13 now 25 i decided to buy some twin tips, first day i was sking switch and spinning 180's and by day three on some rails and spinning 3's, only got three days last year as i decided to ski late in the season, i still snowboard though and depending upon who i go riding with i decide whether to ski or snowboard, i plan on doing a lot more skiing next winter though
 
I skied from when i was 5 until 15, then converted to snowboarding. I'm 21 now and just got hooked up with some hand me down Public Enemies from my room mate so I'm pickin back up again this year. Its funny cuz I talk to a lot of skiers who like how snowboarders look on rails much better, but I know a lot of snowboarders who see skiers spinning one way on to a rail then spinning the opposite way out (more than a 270) and are mad jealous cuz i dont think there is any way a snowboarder can do that. I guess people always just want what they can't have but its legit though cuz it keeps everyone stoked on echother tryin different shit which just makes the scene better. fuck summer i need to ride
 
my mtn is just a bunch of copiers i swear

i dont want to claim or anything bt its the truth

i used to snowboard

i ended up hating it case the mtn sucked for it

so i switched to skiing..SKIING FTW!

and got descent really quick

as in landing spins and doing rails

i think since i did that about 5 kids the next year were skiing

and they all blow but hey they're skiing
 
i switched from snowboarding to skiing and i am so happy that i did. and i know a couple more people that have but not because of me. + karma to those that have switched!
 
i have got a couple friends to buy skis and do it a couple times a season but i conpletely converted one friend to skiing and he is almost as good as me
 
2 kids thus far and I'm working on a couple, I want to sell off my chronic wides this year to an 8th grader who's looking to learn how to ski park but also have fun snowboarding too.
 
Maybe it would be nice let them discover another beautiful artsy ass thing to do called skiing!
 
Most of my friends think skiing is sick, but they all have too much snowboarding gear, or don't want to take the time to learn to ski.
 


i converted 2 snowboarders, introduced one to skiing and brought to the park, and brought 2 from regular skiing into the park
 
Maybe I forgot that e-sarcasm is hard to read, I was just poking fun at your artsyness, not trying to start a whole shabangabang!
