MAIN Sports Winter Sports Snowboarding

Like skiing, no one can really say when snowboarding began. Did an ice age human ancestor step on a piece of tree bark and discover the thrill of sliding down a snowy hill?

It doesn't really matter who first put their feet on something solid - and discovered that with a bit of practice and balance you can surf on snow. What matters is that you can!...and the thrill of snowboarding is just about the same as surfing on the ocean, and just as popular.

Today, heading down the slopes on a snowboard is gaining on the traditional two skis in terms of popularity, and ski resorts are now quick to offer runs and terrain for skiers and snowboarders alike.
