Snow Ski or Snow Board
« on: November 05, 2007, 10:33:45 AM »
With winter approaching I thought it would be interesting to find out how many of you snow ski or snow board.

I can do both, but I prefer to ski as I just have more fun skiing than snow boarding.

Never tried snowboarding.  Skiing is my thang.

I will try boarding as I grew up in So. Cal. surfing and skateboarding.

In all honesty, I used to ski a lot and loved it. I haven't been on two planks in a number of years. I just lost interest after college and I already have enough expensive hobbies (including wife & kids). Wife would love for me to get back into it, and I might. The kids have both done day-long skiing clinics and loved it.

Guess the number of expensive hobbies might increase soon.

as i used to be sponsered on a snowboard, that is my preference. cross country skiing is probably the best overall workout i have ever had. i did enjoy cross country skiing. but downhill would be on a snowboard.

Haven't been skiing in a while, last time I did, ended up tearing the ACL in my left knee. Had several friends that recommended boarding, but still haven't tried it to this day. Looks like a blast though.

Just have to be careful with it because the right wrist will not bend the way it used to or the way the left one does. I take that back, it will but it would break damn near all the bones in my wrist.
