Do you have to have a balance board on wii to play family ski? - family ski wii

IVE have just bought a new game for my Wii recently, skiing and his family cried. At the rear, says you can play even on the balance board, but I'm not sure whether you have had. I do not want it open incase I remove them. Nobody ... HELP!
