re: How difficult is it to learn to snow ski?

I learned to ski at 19. Took a couple of hours and by the end of day I was going green slopes pretty comfortably. By the end of the week I was doing blues comfortably. About 4 years later I jumped on a snowboard and have never looked back. All a do now is snowboard. I find it a lot easier, you don't get as tired as skiing and you can cover a lot more terrain in a day.
