If you're an experience skier, then translating to a snowboard isn't a daunting task, in fact I'd estimate 3 days before you can able to ride on the red run (with basic technique thought), you'll love being able to walk comfortably and carry the ski despite it's slow speed on the straight.
Snowboarding required a bit more care on balancing, which made thing worst for me as I don't have any kind of balance being deaf, but having the knowledge of skiing, it does make it easier.
this is what I figure out;
Snowboarding - BMX
Skiing - track bike (no brake, need to skid to come to a full stop etc.)
The resort isn't that great, but the piste and the sheer size of the 3 valleys make up for that.
(the small valley behind Rosael where the new ski lift was build).
