Anybody here ski by any chance? If so, how would you rate yourself?

I did almost 100km/h (62mp/h) on Atomic SL 11.12 Betarace Worldcup Slalom skies and 120km/h on GS 11.21's on the Lauberhorn at Wengen and the FIS piste in Davos

I like agressive carving, jumping and tricks but also just making chilly turns and enjoying the scenery...

I snowblade (they're like shorter skies)...but I suck and fall a lot but it's fun.

i tried downhill skiing. didnt work out too great for me. but i tried cross country skiing after that and loved it. cant wait to do it again!

Skiing sucks...no offence but snowboarding is so much better . I suck at it but I think its the best winter sport ever

I'll give you a number of reasons why snowboarding is better:

1. It's harder to master, so you get a better satisfaction after doing it.

2. The boots for snowboarding just speak for themselves. Way cool!

3. More hot guys choose snowboarding rather than skiing


No offence to anyone who likes skiing though, these reasons are purely based on my observences, so pls don't bite my head off

Well, in taking that my post was meant to be as light-hearted as possible, im sort of shaking my head at you but hey no harm done

1. I know how to ski and snowboard, but i actually never got that sense of satisfaction in learning how to master it; but knowing that you can vastly increase your skills and rise above the many many many thousands of mediocre, average, and even skilled skiiers to become truly good and respectable makes the sense of satisfaction in skiing just as powerful so to speak

2. i dunno, have you seen my new tecnicas??

3. this isnt an issue for me

Dude... I was kidding. No head shaking is necessary


However, I cannot belive you choose skiing over snowboarding. Meh..Everyone has their own loose bolts.

** I agree, snowboarding is better. I do live in Florida, but when i go up north i snowboard. I'm not the best there ever was at it, but i try. Also there's better snowboarders in the Winter X games.
