But both lead to greater overall happiness



Researchers from South Korea inadvertently supplied skiers with more ammunition in the ideological war between which is better: skiing or snowboarding.

According to the study published in the journal Applied Research in Quality of Life, skiers find more pleasure from a day on the slopes than snowboarders. Among the 279 participant study, skiers showed higher levels of pleasure and involvement in their sport than snowboarders did.

In the sample, 126 participants skied, 112 snowboarded and 41 did both. Respondents spent an average of four and a half days at a three resort in South Korea. Happiness was determined by assessing their sense of pleasure, involvement, and satisfaction they subjectively reported after a day out on the snow. The results indicate that whether you're on a board or skis, hitting the slopes occasionally has a positive impact on one's overall health and happiness.

"Adult playfulness can influence people's happiness, while activities and socially convening around a sporting activity such as skiing have positive psychological outcomes and contribute to overall well-being," lead author Hyun-Woo Lee said in a statement.

Now stop reading this article and take a skiing holiday.

"Happiness was determined by assessing their sense of pleasure, involvement, and satisfaction they subjectively reported after a day out on the snow.

Respondents spent an average of four and a half days at a three resort in South Korea."

The problem is that this "satisfaction" would inadvertently involves the resort itself, of which the resort design would be somewhat involved.

我只是转贴啊，不代表我个人意见。
其实俺觉得单板很厉害，特别是单板CARVING的，太有气势了，每次我坐缆车上看到，都入迷，
比双板的AP 更有气势。。。。这个我和很多人都说过了，不是我瞎编的啊。

滑雪者或寄宿，谁更幸福，我不知道。
我知道滑雪者开心快乐最幸福的...直到看到自己的视频。
我也知道滑雪者更多的新手，更快乐。更先进，更不快乐。
但什么都坝，你知道不是什么高兴的是，直到你学会嘴巴的滑雪！
口滑雪，快乐王，快乐的女王，快乐的儿子，在1 3，最幸福的！喝彩！

那是因为你看双板carving的看太多了，基本上从学习坡下来两周以后的都在carving, 漫山遍野乌泱乌泱的，自然就没感觉了
