Snowboarder with a Snowboard

Snowboarding is a winter sport where an athlete rides down snow-covered hills on a single wide board. Outerwear designed for snowboarding is loose and water-resistant to allow free movement during turns and jumps while keeping snow out.

Facts About Snowboarding Sport

Snowboarding developed in the United States during the 1960s when inventors attached ropes to snurfer boards. Snowboards do not have metal pole supports, so riders rely entirely on balance and foot pressure to steer along mountain terrain. The metal edges on the side of a snowboard carve into hard snow to control speed.

Questions and answers

Questions and Answers About Snowboards

How does a snowboard turn on snow?
Riders shift their body weight between their heels and toes. Pressing into the steel edges of the board cuts into the snow, changing the direction of movement.
Why do snowboarders wear goggles on their foreheads when resting?
Pushing goggles up onto the forehead allows air to circulate, preventing fog build-up on the lenses while resting off the active trail.
How are snowboard boots different from ski boots?
Snowboard boots are softer and more flexible than ski boots, allowing riders to bend their ankles easily for balance and tricks.
