enoch, only in the marketing! Back in the day, snowboarding gloves were the first to have gaiters, etc., but now they've pretty much merged.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

The only real differences are that you can get snowboarding gloves with built in wrist guards...and others with extra protective bits on fingers/knuckles etc.

As has been said snowboarding gloves tend to have wristguard built in, these might reduce the flexibility of the wrist which is used more with skiing than boarding, however some of those gloves have the guards as removeable items, in which case there is no real difference, If skiing look for ones with either a leather or grippy synthetic palm for skiing as that will help you grip the poles, obviously boarders don't need to grip poles but it's still a useful function to have when say getting on drag lifts

enoch, You can always strap on a larger wrist guard over the top. It can look either orthopaedic or 'Darth Vader' depending on the rest of the outfit, I've started wearing armoured MX jeans when riding, the shape is perfect for a good boarding stance and the built in armour means no more cold knees or butt AND they’re half the price of namebrand kit, plus they’re seriously tough!

enoch,
As snowboarders spend more time with the hands touching the ground...for whatever the reason.. you may find a glove without any leather will be most approriate...!!
