Skiing is typically easier to learn initially due to natural forward-facing stance and independent leg movement, while snowboarding can be harder for a complete beginner but easier to master. Your background in board sports like surfing or skateboarding can influence which snow sport you’ll pick up faster. While skiing may be the number one winter sport, snowboarding is its edgy cousin. In Warth, Germany, people take snowboarding seriously and prefer to hike instead of take the ski lift. For those who like to combine mountaineering and snow, snowshoeing is a great sport.
