Schuss....Can you hear and feel that? Oh yes, there's nothing like hearing the swish of your skis or board through light, crisp, glittering snow with a cool breeze and hot sun in your face. Get it right and you feel like you're gliding effortlessly through candy floss. Sweet...
As to which is better....well, snowboarding can be a right pain. Literally. It's too easy to sprain wrists whilst falling flat on your face after catching an edge. It's no wonder though, having your legs/feet effectively locked together and having to facing sideways is just not natural!
With only one edge for turning and braking, having to walk or hop along flat bits, unstrapping a leg to get on lifts, finding yourself being unceremoniously dumped getting off chairlifts and generally a lot slower too. On the plus side, they're great for acrobatics, floating on deep powder ('til you fall over) and spectacular wipe-outs.
So for this faqer, there's no competition; Skiing is far superior. It's not just better, it's faqing fantastic.

I disagree. I actually believe that skiing is significantly more dangerous. Multiple personal experiences (including my sister fragmenting her femur) has taught me this.
Snowboarding is far superior man.
Skiing is for boring old people.
I've never done either. Looks much too cold. Give me sunshine and warm climates any day.
