Yeah - even after quite a few years boarding I still get the fear at high speeds (a couple of fractures and a concussion probably haven't helped). I go much faster on skis, have more of a laugh on a board.

Beginner snowboarders cannot stop intentionally.
There is no equivalent of the snowplough on a board. To stop you either have to turn or else fall over. And if you’re a beginner boarder you cannot turn…

This. Snowboarders might find it harder to stop as quickly as a decent skier on hardpark at the same speed but in general, intermediot skiers seem to go much faster.
