Skiing/Snowboarding Questions

[mooby]

So me and some buddies are going skiing/snowboarding on Wednesday up in WV. None of us have ever done it before but we want to because it looks pretty awesome, hence why we're going. Anyways I just have some questions if any of you guys have done either before, most of it just basic stuff like what to expect, what is it like, etc. And which in your guys' opinion is better? I think I might be better suited towards skiing, because snowboarding reminds me of skateboarding without wheels, and I've never been good at skateboarding. What do you guys think?
