          There is a lot of controversy between which sport is more fun: skiing or snowboarding. I’m here to tell you the similarities and differences Skis are two long sticks, one for each foot commonly used in conjunction with poles. A snowboard is also a stick but it is much wider than skis. Snowboards are never used with poles.

          They are similar in the sense that they are both snow sports. Both sports also strengthen your legs. Another reason that they are similar is that they are in the Olympics and are practiced by many pro athletes.

          These two items are different because on skis your feet are on two different sticks but on snowboards both feet are on the same thing. Skis use poles but snowboards do not. One other difference is that when you’re learning on snowboards it just all of a sudden clicks but on skis you gradually get better.

          As you can see skiing and snowboards are very similar but different too. If you don’t like skiing, try snowboarding or vice versa. Remember that skiing is easier to learn!
