The first couple of days on snowboard isn't every exiting (basically you spend much of the time sitting on the hill wondering why you fall so much). When you get past that you will progress faster towards getting "good" than you will at ski for a while. This of course doesn't last forever [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
If you don't mind paying for an couple of lessons and falling a lot in the beginning, I think that you would enjoy giving snowboarding a try. You will however have to spend a little bit on protective gear so you don't end up with a broken wrist (boxers with padding is also nice, but not mandatory).
