I recently had a chance to spend a bit of time with my feet on the Wii version and my hands on the Xbox 360 version, and you might be surprised which one I actually preferred.
I was able to play two different modes of the Wii version of the game; once down the mountain in a timed race, and a couple trick-heavy trips through the half-pipe. All the runs were completed with my feet on the balance board controlling my speed, direction, and balance control. I also had the Wiimote in my hand to control grabs and a trick-triggered power boost."
