Depends what age you are, the true non-conformist teen/early 20's, skis...since almost all teens do the board thing. If you want true non-conformity, do what I have done for the last 25 years, telemark. Admittedly the knees at this age are not quite as able as they once were. I will throw my support behind the "skiing is much easier to get up and running" camp, I've been there and supported many learners over the years (boarders and skiers) (I used to be a ski patroler) , and you have to be EXTRA patient when dealing with a new boarder.... you sure don't get many runs in, over a day. Snow plow turns enable a newbie to control speed and direction with much ease.....comparatively. Have fun
