Comparison and Contrast

Is skiing better than snowboarding or the other way around? Many people ask themselves this simple question and often find that the topic never really comes to a conclusion. Many traditionalists see skiing as the ony way to go, however, they give no conclusive evidence to support their reasoning. They both involve sliding down a hill giving you the same thrill and adrenaline rush as you almost clip a tree. Neither one is specifically more expensive then the other. There is no bias based on age that supports one style over the other as there are many young and old people alike doing both hobbies. So then why is there the funamental question of which is better? Some people claim that snowboarding is easier on their knees and therefore is simply the only way to go. Often people who like to ride park all day stream towards snowboards for their useability and durability on the slope. However, the same things go for skiing as people feel more comfortable learning skiing first, gives them a heightened comfort zone. For these few reasons there never has been and probably never will be a defient answer on this fundamental question.
