Skiing is easier to learn as many have said on this thread. If you want to find out for yourself, you might want to rent a snowboard after a day or two of skiing. A few years ago I went on a ski trip and decided it was too much of a pain to fly with my skies, so, I rented skies for a couple days and the rental shop let me swap the skies for a snowboard.
I would recommend a helmet, especially for snowboarding. They comfortable and warm. You can really hit hard if the board catches an edge.
