I ride, my wife skiis. If we feel like riding the same terrain, we
stick together...if not, then we do our own thing! It doesn't really
matter what we ride the mountain with, just that we're enjoying the
mountain.

What's stopping your son from skiing the terrain park? If he's not
interested in it on skiis, why would he be interested in it on a board?
Perhaps he just needs to find friends that like to ride the same
terrain he does. Switching to snowboarding just to ride the terrain
park doesn't sound like it will make him happy, IMO.

Hmm, well, I'm probably what's stopping him from skiing the terrain parks
because I don't ski the terrain parks. And that's because I'm an old man
with 3 bad lumbar disks and two bad knees; the imperfect landings are
killers! We used to ski the jumps when he was a little kid. And since I'm
going to start letting him go skiing without me with friends who ride, I was
thinking that he would probably have more fun riding than skiing. That
however is based on the assumption (out of total ingnorance) that
snowboarders spend most of their day at the terrain parks and pipes. So,
I'm just asking some questions trying to learn a few things.
