I'm an 18 yr old girl who wants to learn how to snowboard...good idea?

I've been playing sports since i could walk and now that im in college im sick of the whole sports thing. i wanna try something new and there is a ski resort 10 minutes away. i always wanted to snowboard when i was little but basketball always interfered. now i have the chance but do you think it will be to hard and a waste of time. it seems like it wouldn't be to hard but i guess i cant say much. ive skateboarded in the past and got pretty good at it..now i wanna snowboard soooo bad. so what do you think??
