is it just me?

or is it like 10 times easy to spin on skies as opposed to a snowboard? i started trying 540s and it took me forever on a snowboard but the first one on skis i almost over-rotated it. any other skiier/snowboarder people find this to be true?

From what I hear, thats how it is.

lower swing weight, they weight about the same but the skis have all the mass in the boot/binding while the snowboard has a massive amount out in the nose/tail, plus you have more stability coming in on skis so you can get more leverage on your spin

i think youre right, and the fact that you already have the muscle memory on lock helps.

ur correct..i could never spin on my board but i landed a 7 on my skis first try..it didnt work out a second time tho but i can land 3s with crosses and grabs everytime now..and im still workin on my 5s with my bigger skis...i never got a good day to try one on them yet cause its either to windy or the jumps just suck that day.
