I have to agree that Skis are faster. But snowboarding is so much more fun. I started off skiing when I was 17 or so. I did it for a few years. Once I strapped on the snowboard, I never skiid again.
Let's bring it back to something we are a little more familiar with. There are many lower cost sports cars on the market that are faster and handle better than a 911. But would you trade yours for one?
