SKI OR SNOWBOARD: WHICH SPORT TO CHOOSE?

SKIING: SPEED AND TECHNIQUE

Skiing offers many possibilities: ski touring, freeride, freestyle, racing... A wide range of glides for an incredible feeling of freedom. With skiing, you can go from the slopes to the snowpark and even in powder! Whatever your profile and level, skiing can be learned at any age. As a mountain lover and thrill seeker, skiing guarantees you unique experiences on the slopes.

A complete, physical and demanding discipline, it is more technical than snowboarding. Indeed, skiing requires control and balance, but also the technical basics that are essential for getting out onto the slopes. 

SNOWBOARDING: STRONG SENSATIONS AND INSTINCT

Snowboarding is a sliding sport that attracts more and more people every season. Inspired by surfing, it is a discipline that offers very different sensations from skiing. Snowboarding is more recent than skiing and is distinguished by the position of the feet on the board and requires a great sense of balance. 

Although snowboarding is more complex to learn than skiing, it nevertheless offers a faster acquisition of the technical basics. Indeed, beginners in snowboarding progress more quickly than on skis. Even if the first few days you will fall and get up many times, don't despair! You will enjoy the steep slopes with confidence and make fewer turns than on skis. Moreover, designed for powder fields, the snowboard is ideal for off-piste skiing. Indeed, thanks to its wide board, it allows you to float more easily in fresh snow than on a ski.
