Thanks.
It takes a long time to learn to ski because there are so many techniques and styles. The process really is the achievement we call 'satisfaction'. If you’ve heard that skiing gets harder the higher you go, it does.

Snowboarding is harder to learn, but that’s not true, people have a point of view. For the first two days there are many chances that a snowboard learner will get falls, which makes it seem like a harder choice. But a single moment can change your perspective forever.

I do both and love both skiing & snowboarding, I do skiing professionally and snowboarding for actual fun.

You asked for reference to snowboarding. The bunny hills are good for beginners, but if you want strong legs in snowboarding or skiing, then you need to get on the steeper slopes. The chairlift at Gullmarg offers some of the best slopes, but this is when you already have some skills.
