I tried snow skiing to no avail.  I'm thinking snowboarding might be easier, though.
Snowboarding was developed based upon inspiration from skateboarding and surfing.  If you think you'd like those sports, you'd probably like snowboarding.
I can't say I've tried those, but since the board is wider, I think I could last longer.
The stance is a lot different on a snowboard.  With ski you are facing forward as you ride. Snowboard stance is to the side.
