Skiing vs. Snowboarding

Durring the winter season the two main popular winter sports are skiing and snowboarding. For most people one is better than the other. It is a big deal to lots of students. Most kids I know think that snowboarding is cooler, and more fun than skiing. But I am here to proof them wrong. I have been skiing since the age of five. I have never really actually snowboarded, but I like to watch and analyze it. It is so weird to me why so many people think that it is better than skiing. When you ski you have to control two sticks strapped to your feet and two poles. It can be hard to get all four things to go in the right direction, and look good doing it. With a snowboard there is only one board to control. Also skiers can go on a wider variety of terrian. For example snowboarders can't really go down a hill with moggles. To me if you can't go down moggles there is no point to winter sports. It also seems that skiers can perform a wider variety of tricks on halfpipes and jumps. Skiing and boarding both are fun adventerous winter activites, but there is no doubt that skiing is the better sport. Skiing brings such a wonderful sense of freedom and peace. As I ski I feel that I am flying and in total control of my life.
