Skiing may be worse for ligaments, but I think snowboarding is worse for cartilage. (Also anecdata)
Skimo is the real danger though. Often done in terrible conditions, on ridiculous skis that snap if you look at them the wrong way, with bindings that don't release reliably and wearing no more than a road cyclist.
