Snowboarding

Snowboarding is a winter sport that involves descending snow-covered slopes while standing on a snowboard, which is a wide board attached to a rider’s feet using boots and bindings. It combines elements of surfing, skateboarding, and skiing, allowing riders to perform maneuvers such as turns, jumps, and tricks on various terrains, including mountains and specially designed parks. Snowboarding typically takes place in designated areas like ski resorts. Riders can choose different styles, such as freestyle, freeride, or alpine, each emphasizing different techniques and types of terrain. The sport has gained global popularity since its emergence in the late 20th century and is recognized in international competitions, including the Winter Olympics.
