I'm one of the many people who enjoys skiing, and I was wondering what is more popular.
All you have to do is answer the poll and then give reasons for why you choose that sport.

I prefer cross-country skiing (most likely the least popular snow sport)
I like it because you can go up and down hill. I also just like the feeling I get when I ski.

PS: only select a snow sport if you've done it before and you liked it, don't choose one just because you think it might be good.

Downhill

i like snowbaording. I tried skiing once and i hated it, but i love snowboarding

I love skiing. I wish more ski areas were open. Every time I look at the mountain and see the snow on the tops I want to get in my car and get right up there to the mountains. I can't wait for the Vail areas to open.

I think all snowboarders hate skiing. Once you get used to it though it's great. Downhill or cross-country (cross-country takes longer to get used to, I havn't reall met anyone who liked cross-country first off)

Downhill for me too.

Downhill.

More interested in freestyle than racing.

Downhill for me too.

This is suprising...I actually would have thought that snowboarding would be more popular.

Watch curling? What's that?
Oh, and if anyone knows, what's that sport called where you do cross-country skiing and then you shoot targets?

I dont think it has any particular name but it is referred to in the winter olympics as Biathlon.

I love downhill skiing too. Racing is pretty dull though. I like to get into back country powder runs.
