A snowboard is a flat board used for sliding down snow-covered slopes. It is typically made of a wooden core, fiberglass, and a plastic base, designed to provide stability and control. Snowboards come in various shapes and sizes, catering to different styles of riding, such as freestyle, all-mountain, and powder. Riders attach their boots to the board using bindings, allowing them to maneuver and perform tricks. Snowboarding originated in the 1960s and gained popularity in the 1980s and 1990s. It is now a popular winter sport, featured in events like the Winter Olympics and the X Games. Snowboarders often ride on designated trails at ski resorts, where they can enjoy the thrill of gliding down the mountain.
