If you don't mind me asking, why is that?

Skis go faster than boards. Four edges give you more wiggle room for
error correction than two. Don't get me wrong. My groups of friends
gets down the mountain on boards faster than the majority of skiers,
but an expert skier should be able to beat you every time.

I used to crew for a league race operation. The boarders best times were
always way higher than the better skiers.
