I'll tell ya this as a former instructor of both disciplines, you will pick up skiing much easier than it took to master snowboarding. Waaaay easier on the butt and wrists. Also your snowboard park ability will transfer over to skiing quite nicely. The only exception will be landings. It's gonna take ya a bit to acclimate yourself to landing with your feet facing forward or back and not one side or the other. It wont take long though as you'll discover it's a pretty natural feel due to snowboarding with your shoulders square to the fall line anyway. I'd say like the others have to go for it and don't look back. You can get more technical in the park on skis for one and you also will appreciate getting off the lift and jus going as opposed to sitting down, strapping in, and holding everybody up. (the same goes for flat sections). I would say though that you may want to look into a wider ski. It has been my experience that people coming from snowboarding prefer something wider underfoot, even in the park, to maintain that "surfy" feel. Something like the 2012 line bacons would be perfect cause they're a little wider underfoot but still shred park. I'd also recommend perhaps taking at least one half day lesson. As cheesy as that sounds it'll speed up your "basics" progression quite a bit. Good luck and enjoy!
