Snowboarding is a lot different from skiing.  Snowboarding is usually for teenagers and kids; skiing is usually for older people to go slower.

    Skiing is similar to snowboarding because you ride them both on snow and you can do most of the same things.  They are also both in the Olympics.  Another reason they are similar is that they are usually both on a mountain.

    Snowboarding is different from skiing because a snowboard is only one board and skiing is two different skis with poles.  You also have different types of boots.  Skiing boots are hard and snowboarding boots are soft.  In conclusion, both snowboarding and skiing are really fun!  I would recommend snowboarding if you love jumps and rails.  I would recommend skiing if you like to go super fast and race.
