A snowboarder is a person who rides a snowboard, a flat board attached to their feet, down snow-covered slopes. Snowboarding is a popular winter sport that combines elements of surfing and skiing. Snowboarders use their body movements to steer and balance while navigating various terrains, including mountains and parks. Snowboarders often wear specialized gear, such as boots, bindings, and protective clothing, to enhance their performance and safety. They can participate in different styles of snowboarding, including freestyle, which involves tricks and jumps, and alpine, which focuses on racing down slopes. Popular locations for snowboarding include ski resorts and backcountry areas.
