again i haven't really been skiing before, i mean, i attempted it once
when i was ten and cried the whole time. any suggestions on making a
transition from boarding to skiing?

In the backcountry, as others have said, go somewhere that involves
along and/or up and you'll see where skis just work a lot better.

On the pistes, you may find you get a similar carving feeling if
you learn proper parallel carving (you may not, but it's an
idea...). And telemarking is just that bit different and might
push your buttons if you like to be different (for every few
hundred boarders and skiers on a piste you'll see a few
telemarkers, it's harder but if you put in the effort it's very
easy to stand out from the crowds).
