We are planning a family vacation to go to a ski resort around Christmastime this year. None of us have ever been snow skiing before, so we were just wondering---
As beginners, which one would be better (easier) to learn, skiing or snowboarding??
My wife and I are in our mid to upper 30's, our kids are 13, 10, and 7.
We are not looking to become pros. We just want to have a good time for a few days. Which would be better to try?
Injury-wise, I hear skiing can be hard on the knees/ankles. Snowboarding can be hard on the wrists and butt...
Personally, I think I'm leaning towards snowboarding, but would 3 or 4 days give us enough time to get through the learning curve and have a good time (if even only on the bunny slopes)?
