Snowboarding is a winter sport that involves descending snow-covered slopes while standing on a board attached to a rider's feet. The board is typically wider than a ski and allows for a unique style of movement, combining elements of surfing and skateboarding. Snowboarders use special boots that connect to the board via bindings, enabling them to control their direction and speed. The sport has various styles, including freestyle, freeride, and alpine, each offering different experiences and challenges. Snowboarding is popular in ski resorts around the world, where enthusiasts can enjoy groomed trails, terrain parks, and backcountry areas.
