hey folks,
hopefully not longwinded, got some questions about skiboarding maybe someone can help me out with. I live in Colorado and have been snowboarding for about 3 seasons now. I enjoy snowboarding but in the off season im usually at the skate parks with my fruit boots. Been inline skating since i was about 10 years old. Tried skiing for awhile..didnt stick. So there i was, coming down a run in breckenridge this last weekend and i see a dude on some really short ski's. I catch him at the end of the run and ask him what they are. To which he replies they are some rented snowblades. he said they were alot of fun and pretty easy to learn. I figure since i've inline skated all my life this might be a better fit for me than snowboarding. I'm kind of getting burned out on the ridgidness of being on a snowboard (maybe its just me but i feel less manueverable on a board). My questions to you guys.
1) Are these easy to learn given my inline skating background?
2) Are skiboards, not blades, easily rentable in CO?
3) I'm about 5'6", what size boards should i be looking for?
thx for your time guys
