Is snow skating a good alternative for snowboarding? Thanks.

Idk if its a good alternative.. it is a good variation tho. Both snowboarding and snowskating have their pros and cons. Snowskating is cheaper. and a whole lot less fun imo. But are going to experience different things with each sport.

No, it is not.
Snow skating is a lot of fun, and is
a good way to skateboard in the winter
without an indoor park, but it is no where
near snowboarding.
There is so much more freedom with snowboarding.
And a lot more speed ;)

But, like l said before, snow skating is still fun :D
