Skiing is easier once you get used to it. Less strain on your body, you have more maneuverability skiing, more control I guess. You can keep balance with poles.

On a board, all of your motion comes from your upper body.

I skiied for a long time, went to boarding because it was a new challenge.

For me, snowboarding is all lower body and core, except when it comes to snowball races  .

Only reason i stopped skiing is that the boots were horrible on my ankles.

That's strange.  A good ski-boot should more or less immobilize your ankle so that there's no possibility of injuring it.  That's also why skiers injure their acl so frequently.
